About this Visa
This is a work visa for non-EU citizens. It lets you move to Lithuania and work for a company there for up to one year. You apply for it before traveling to Lithuania. The visa lets you work legally, live in Lithuania, and travel around Europe. After five years of working there, you can stay permanently. After ten years, you can become a Lithuanian citizen. What makes it different: This visa is easier than many European work visas. It doesn't have extra rules about the job—you can work almost any job as long as you have an employer who wants to hire you.
