According to the General system for the recognition of professional qualification, your training subjects will be compared with the requirements set in the Republic of Lithuania for respective professional training. Lithuanian competent authority in every specific case having assessed the circumstances and discovered certain differences, substantially different matters, can request you to complete professional adaptation period of maximum three years or  aptitude test (compensation measure). In certain cases, competent authority can apply both compensation measures.

What do you have to do if you are coming from a Member State in which appropriate profession is not regulated, while it is regulated in Lithuania? You have to prove that  you have pursued the profession in question on a full-time basis for one year or for an equivalent overall duration on a part-time basis during the previous 10 year in home Member State and have one or more an attestation of competence or evidence of formal qualification.

For your professional qualification recognition, you are requested to apply to a competent authority, which will provide you with a form of an application for your professional qualification recognition and comprehensive list of documents required.

Application and required documents can be submitted directly to a competent authority or through Contact Centre of Services and Products.

A Lithuanian competent authority will confirm receipt of your application within one month from the day of receipt of the application and documents and inform of any missing document. A competent authority can set a deadline of maximum one month for elimination of any  deficiencies   from the day of dispatch of the notice.

Certified copies and translations
