Changes In Migration Legislation For 2024–2025: What Employers Need To Know

In 2024 and 2025, significant changes in migration laws will come into effect in Lithuania, impacting employers hiring citizens from third countries. These amendments aim to tighten requirements for companies wishing to employ foreign nationals and for the qualifications and compliance of those intending to work in Lithuania. They also increase employer accountability for non-compliance and replace the quota mechanism with a stricter system limiting the entry of third-country nationals for employment.

These changes are highly relevant to all employers who have hired or plan to hire foreign nationals. TRINITI JUREX Migration Law team leader Kamila Ratkevič has prepared a detailed overview of these changes.
