Yes. Once residency is approved, both adults in the family package receive full work rights in Lithuania without needing separate work permits.

They can:

    • Seek employment in local or international companies.
    • Start businesses or join our business incubator program to launch entrepreneurial ventures.
  • Work remotely for companies based outside the EU while residing in Lithuania.

This flexibility makes our program especially attractive for dual-career families or those seeking business expansion opportunities in Europe.
