Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Lithuanian employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Lithuanian permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Every Lithuanian project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Lithuanian permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Lithuanian specifics below are the part that makes Lithuania different from every other market we serve.
Temporary residence permit for employment. Lithuania is one of the quickest EU markets to enter. The employer confirms the vacancy with the Employment Service; occupations on the shortage list are exempt from the labour-market test. Since 1 July 2024 a Lithuanian temporary residence permit is the standard authorisation to work — a national visa or Schengen visa no longer replaces it — and the worker applies for it through the Migration Department (MIGRIS).
Labour-market test: Exempt for occupations on the Employment Service shortage list.
Shortage occupations: The Employment Service publishes a list of professions in shortage — currently including truck drivers, forklift operators, plumbers and pipefitters and machine-tool operators — which exempts the role from the labour-market test.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). Baltic deployments are verified by the MWO with jurisdiction for the Baltics; we confirm the current assignment before deployment. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Lithuanian permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Lithuania is 1–3 months from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the Lithuanian permit and the embassy appointment in Manila. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Lithuanian employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Lithuania covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Lithuanian route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Lithuanian contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Lithuanian employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the temporary residence permit for employment under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
Electronic processing and a shortage list that covers most industrial trades; when documents are complete, decisions are measured in weeks.
Yes — drivers are a traditional shortage profession in Lithuania, subject to licence conversion rules.
Generally yes in manufacturing and logistics; we brief candidates on basic Lithuanian safety terms.
