Frequently asked

Lithuania questions Kerala families ask.

Why is Vilnius good for fintech jobs? +
Lithuania issued early Electronic Money Institution licenses, attracting fintech startups looking for EU access. Revolut's main hub is here. Strong English-speaking finance and tech roles.
Same EU passport pathway as Latvia? +
Yes. 5 years legal residence + Lithuanian A2 = permanent residence. Slightly longer post-study window (12 months vs Latvia's 6 months) makes the path more reliable.
What about jobs outside finance? +
Smaller than Western EU markets but growing. Manufacturing, IT outsourcing, logistics also have English-speaking openings. Many international graduates move to Germany or Netherlands after getting EU residence.
