It will also be collected for the request for permission to change the employer.

As indicated by the Migration Department, as of August 1, the amount of such a fee is 50 euros for each completed electronic written form.

This fee is introduced after the Government has amended and supplemented the resolution “On the approval of the list of specific state fee amounts and rules for the payment and refund of the state fee” and is valid in all cases when a foreigner is invited to come to Lithuania to work.

Exceptions will be applied and the state fee will not be charged in cases where citizens of foreign countries come to Lithuania to work as teachers or researchers.

The submission of mediation letters will continue to be exempt from taxation when a foreigner comes to study in Lithuanian educational institutions according to approved programs, is a high-performance athlete, comes to engage in religious activities, is a performer, journalist, executive of government or voluntary activity programs, etc.

The Migration Department draws attention to the fact that the employer will pay the state fee for the submission of the mediation letter by filling out a special form in the Lithuanian migration information system MIGRIS.

The Department of Migration notes that employers will not be able to pre-pay for multiple mediation letters and then start filling them out separately.
