HR, Payroll & Immigration in Lithuania
Hire and operate in Lithuania — without decoding the local rules yourself.
For international companies with people in Lithuania — but no HR department here. We handle employment, payroll, immigration and HR compliance on the ground, so you don't have to build a local HR function.
Lithuania's 2026 quota for third-country nationals is exhausted. Hiring now requires a gross salary of at least EUR 2,893.68, unless the candidate qualifies for an EU Blue Card.
What this means for your hiringWhat we do
Practical HR, employment and mobility guidance for Lithuania, handled end to end.
Immigration & work permits
Work permits, EU Blue Cards and residence permits for non-EU hires. We handle the whole process, from the mediation letter in MIGRIS to the first working day.
Payroll
Monthly payroll, Sodra reporting and the notifications that carry deadlines. Run correctly and on time, with figures you can show your finance team.
Hiring & employment
Compliant Lithuanian contracts, onboarding and HR documentation. Set up your first hire correctly, or fix employment that is already in place.
We also handle recruitment and talent sourcing, relocation, and market entry setup. Tell us what you need.
Recent work
A sample of what we handle.
Dutch crewing company — moving seafarers onto Lithuanian contracts
A Netherlands-based crewing agency wanted to move its Lithuanian seafarers from Dutch to Lithuanian employment. We mapped the tax and social-security structure, identified the compliant setup, and produced a full cost breakdown showing the real employer cost — so they could make the decision with clear numbers.
UK construction company — sourcing Lithuanian workers
A UK contractor needed skilled construction workers from Lithuania, plus compliant HR documentation. We handle the sourcing and selection, and the employment paperwork that goes with it.
