Many people from all over the world come to Lithuania each year to live. Some come to study, work, or expand their businesses, while others intend to join their families, and so on. The main reasons for coming to Lithuania include family reunification, employment, business, and education.
Eventually, immigration of highly qualified professionals from other countries to Lithuania for employment in Lithuanian enterprises and organisations began. The main immigration-related requirements for such people include a high level of qualification, based on a higher education diploma, and an agreed salary that is no less than the legal minimum.
In some cases of employment immigration, work experience requirements are set in addition to the requirements for education.
