Key steps and documents required

To apply for a work visa for Lithuania from Bangladesh, you need to follow a specific set of requirements and procedures.

1. Job Offer/Employment Contract
A valid job offer or employment contract from a Lithuanian employer is necessary. The employer must also secure permission from the Lithuanian Employment Service to hire a foreign worker (this is typically done by the employer on your behalf).

2. Work Permit
In most cases, a work permit is required for non-EU nationals like Bangladeshi citizens. Your employer in Lithuania must apply for this permit on your behalf.

3. Residence Permit for Employment Purposes
After securing a job and obtaining a work permit, you will need to apply for a temporary residence permit for work purposes. This is essential for staying in Lithuania for more than 90 days.

4. Required Documents
You will need the following documents for the visa application:

Valid Passport: Must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned stay, with at least two blank pages.
Completed Visa Application Form: Available from the Lithuanian embassy/consulate or online.
Employment Contract: The contract from your Lithuanian employer.
Work Permit: Issued by Lithuanian authorities.
Proof of Qualification: Education and work experience certificates relevant to the job.
Proof of Financial Means: Bank statements showing sufficient funds to support yourself.
Health Insurance: A policy valid in Lithuania with coverage of at least 30,000 EUR.
Accommodation Proof: A document proving where you will be staying in Lithuania.
Police Clearance Certificate: To prove that you have no criminal record in Bangladesh.
Passport-sized Photos: Recent and meeting Lithuanian visa photo specifications.

5. Visa Fee
The fee for a long-term national visa (D visa) is generally around 60 EUR, but it may vary.

6. Application Submission
Submit your visa application to the Lithuanian Embassy or Consulate in Bangladesh. Lithuania does not have an embassy in Bangladesh, so you may need to apply through a Schengen visa service center or the Lithuanian Embassy in a neighboring country.

7. Processing Time
Processing can take 10 to 15 working days, but it may take longer depending on individual circumstances.

8. Work Visa Categories
Highly Skilled Workers: Some sectors require highly qualified professionals. You may also qualify for an EU Blue Card if you meet specific education and salary thresholds.

Seasonal Workers: If your job is temporary, you may apply for a short-term visa.

9. Additional Requirements
Language Proficiency: While not mandatory, knowing Lithuanian or English can increase your chances of securing a job and passing the application process.
Medical Examination: You may need to undergo a health check, depending on the job type.

Make sure to consult the Lithuanian immigration website or the nearest embassy for updated requirements and procedures.
