Advantages of Immigration to Lithuania European Union country

Enjoy the life in Europen Union

It doesn't matter which European country you have chosen for emigration. After you officially immigrate and get permit to live in any country of the European Union you can live and work abroad in any country where you found better conditions of life, job opportunities or conditions for running business.

Immigration laws of European Union are the same for all its members. Of course each country will have its own peculiarities of immigration laws but its main features that allow citizens and holders of residence permit to live and work legally in Europe are maintained in all European countries.

Immigration to any country is a complicated task that demands time, money, hard work and attention, lots of desire and diligence while preparing immigration documents, applying for visa and adaptation in the country which Customer have chosen for immigration. Of course, immigration to foreign country is not an easy thing to do, but final goal – life in Europe is worth to reach it. Many things are not as complicated as you see now, e.g. studying foreign language. After you come to Lithuania and start living there you will have to speak and understand one of these languages: Lithuanian, Russian, Polish or English language. Many people in Lithuania knows minimum two of these languages.

Life in Lithuania 

In the International Living 2011 Quality of Life Index, Lithuania was ranked 36th in the world based on nine different criteria: the cost of living, culture and leisure time, economy, environment, freedom, health, infrastructure, safety, risk, and climate. Lithuania was also listed among 43 countries of very high human development in the Human Development Report 2011 released by the United Nations. One reason why Lithuania is such a nice place to do business is that it is a terribly nice place to be: to live in, to work in, to spend time in; it is pretty and enjoyable; it has a strong and benign sense of national identity that is exciting and interesting; it’s full of people who are lively and diligent; and it has a culture that is familiar to you whether you’re Russian, American or Danish.

Lithuania offers a comfortable space for a family from abroad to enjoy life with easy access to all sorts of social services. For example, foreign families may apply to international schools, which have specialized education for children from foreign families, as access to an international school is an important consideration of family life. Increasing enrolment at the Vilnius International School, the American International School of Vilnius and Vilnius French School (see Social Institutions on page 60) reflects the growing diplomatic and investor community. Also, Lithuanian universities welcome foreign students eager to enrich their knowledge. Furthermore, private healthcare services are available to Lithuania’s visitors in all cities and towns. Eurostat’s survey about price levels across Europe revealed that Lithuania is in the list of the Top 10 the less expensive countries in Europe.
