Lithuania Work Visa and Immigration Guide for Non-EU Citizens

 

This guide outlines the essential requirements for non-EU nationals seeking employment in Lithuania, including the need for both a work permit and a national visa (Type D). It also highlights the employer’s role in the application process and the key documents foreign employees must provide.

Working in Lithuania: Visa and Work Permit Requirements

 

Like all countries, Lithuania has specific immigration laws that govern the employment of foreign nationals. As a member of the European Union, Lithuania allows citizens of other EU member states to live and work without the need for a visa or work permit.

However, non-EU citizens who wish to work in Lithuania are generally required to obtain two key documents:

  1. A Work Permit

  2. A National Visa (Type D) — allowing entry and legal stay for employment purposes.

It is typically the responsibility of the employer in Lithuania to apply for the work permit on behalf of the foreign employee. To support this process, the prospective employee must provide the employer with the following documentation:

  • Proof of qualifications relevant to the job (e.g., educational credentials and prior professional experience)

  • Valid personal identification documents

These requirements are essential to ensure compliance with Lithuanian immigration regulations and to facilitate a smooth employment process for foreign nationals.
