Hi there,

I hope to apply to live and work in Lituania in 2026. I have experience and accredited qualifications in supporting people with drug and alcohol problems and homelessness. I am also qualified and experienced in community engagement and development,

I would be grateful for advice on how to make this possible.

Kind regard,

Liam

Sadly, no. You are dealing with the public. You will have to speak the national language.

Hello and welcome !

Lithuanian is strongly preferred (or essential) for interacting with patients, colleagues, official documents, etc. English alone may limit your options.

As a non-EU national, you’ll need a work permit plus a temporary residence permit. The employer usually initiates the process. Only some permits are granted for non-highly skilled roles, and salary must meet minimum thresholds.

The employer must also demonstrate that no local/EU candidate is available (to justify hiring a foreigner).

Furthermore, you’ll need credentials (education, certificate, diploma) and relevant experience in care roles.

I would suggest you search for opportunities on LinkedIn on contact hospitals and clinics directly to offer your candidacy.

Regards
