Recognition of professional qualifications acquired abroad
On 12 June 2024, this procedure was updated to cover the recognition of vocational training qualifications, in addition to the recognition of higher education qualifications obtained abroad, already in place. Lithuanians who have graduated and worked abroad, or foreigners who arrive, will no longer have to re-train for competences already acquired to succeed in employment, apply for certain positions, salary categories or indeed, continue their studies in a Lithuanian vocational training institution or higher education institution. Until now, each employer or training institution has been free to decide on the recognition of a specific vocational qualification acquired abroad, and there has been a lack of unified state supervision.
