Overview

Residence permit for up to 1 year for recent graduates or current students undertaking a traineeship agreement with a Lithuanian host entity in their field of study.

The Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) for trainees is designed for non-EU citizens who have recently graduated from a higher education institution or are currently enrolled in one outside the EU. This permit allows individuals to gain professional experience in Lithuania through a formal traineeship agreement with a local host entity. It is a pathway for young professionals to bridge the gap between academic studies and the labor market, providing a legal framework to reside in Lithuania for the duration of the training program, typically up to one year.

To qualify, applicants must ensure their training agreement aligns with their field of study and demonstrate financial self-sufficiency. The process involves submitting an application through the Lithuanian Migration Information System (MIGRIS), followed by an in-person visit to provide biometric data. This permit is ideal for those seeking to enhance their qualifications in a European environment, offering a structured way to integrate into the Lithuanian professional landscape while maintaining legal status.
