Securing a Work Permit and Hiring Talent via Global EOR in Lithuania

  • Employer companies that want to relocate hire and pay ex-pats in Lithuania.
  • Experienced individual professionals with an employer already prepared to finance their immigration and foreign employment in the country.
  • Companies that plan to send their highly skilled personnel to work for them in Lithuania

An important thing that you may not be aware of. Having a single provider to sponsor your work permit and employ your ex-pats in Lithuania post-immigration cuts down on the risks of your visa getting rejected.

One thing that sets us apart from other global PEO Service providers is that Acumen also provides additional benefits along with a PEO employment and work permit for ex-pats to be employed on the ground. These include:

  • Medical insurance
  • Housing
  • Office rent
  • Mobile phone/car provision for meetings
  • Dependant relocation

Disclaimer: Please be aware that Express Global Employment does not operate as an immigration service. We exclusively assist businesses seeking to deploy their expatriates overseas. Our scope of immigration support in Lithuania is solely confined to post-immigration employment through our Global EOR solution. We do not cater to individual requests or aspirations to work abroad.

Estimated Time for Work Permit Issuing in Lithuania

Typically, the procedure of work permit issuance in Lithuania takes between 7 to 30 working days to process a Lithuanian work permit.

How IT Companies Can Succeed in Converting Existing Contractors into Employees in Lithuania

As the IT industry largely depends on unique skills and expertise, more and more IT companies are hiring talent internationally. To help you engage and reward your international IT talent with 100% compliance regardless of their location, we have designed an innovative Express Global Employment (EGE) solution.

Express Global Employment solution gives IT companies like yours a decisive advantage in Lithuania’s fight for top global IT talent. By offering stability and statutory benefits of official employment, you can win high-profile IT contractors/freelancers looking to change their status to employees. Companies gain maximum employee engagement and loyalty, with employees enjoying a stable workload and working on ambitious projects they might have never had as freelancers in Lithuania. With no need to look for new projects all the time, employed programmers stay with one company longer, leading to lower staff turnover. In addition, when using our PEO solution, you get protected from any employee-independent contractor misclassification risks and unexpected costs.
