How to find a job

EU Member State nationals and their family members intending to work in the Republic of Lithuania under an employment contract do not need a work permit, they take part in recruitment procedures and find jobs under the same conditions as Lithuanian nationals.
Firstly, they can use the services of the Employment Service, which are provided free of charge.

Another way of looking for employees or employers is via private employment agencies. Since the ratification and entry into force of the Convention on private employment agencies, their services have been free of charge for jobseekers in Lithuania.
Job vacancy advertisements can also be found in the media. Ads are placed in job advertising publications, national dailies and the local press.
