Most non-EU workers need both a basis to work -- a work permit or an Employment Service decision -- and a temporary residence permit for employment that ties you to a specific employer.
To take up employment in Lithuania, third-country nationals generally need their job to be authorised through either a work permit or a decision from the Employment Service confirming the role meets labour-market needs. On top of that, you need a temporary residence permit for employment to live and work legally.
The two are linked: the residence permit is granted for the specific employer and job. Some categories, such as in-demand occupations or highly qualified roles, follow simplified routes, so confirm which requirements apply to your situation.
