Complete Guide for Pakistani & International Students – 2025
If you recently completed your degree in Lithuania or another Schengen country and want to move to Germany for better job opportunities, you’re not alone. Germany welcomes skilled international graduates, and having a Lithuanian degree gives you a strong advantage in applying for a German work visa.
🎓 Why Your Lithuanian Degree Matters
Lithuanian universities are part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), which makes your degree recognized in Germany. This simplifies the visa process and improves your chances of landing a job.
✅ Eligibility to Apply for a German Work Visa
You are eligible to apply if:
- You have a recognized university degree from Lithuania or another EU country.
- You have a job offer from a German employer.
- Your job is relevant to your qualification.
- You meet the minimum salary threshold (approx. €45,300/year in most cases, or €41,000 in shortage occupations).
- You have proof of accommodation, health insurance, and sufficient funds to support yourself until your first paycheck.
📄 Documents Required for German Work Visa (with Lithuanian Degree)
- Valid passport
- Lithuanian degree certificate (with apostille, if required)
- Job offer or work contract from a German company
- Visa application form
- CV/resume
- Cover letter explaining your job and future plans
- Proof of residence in Germany (rental contract or invitation)
- Health insurance (EU or German-compliant)

📝 Step-by-Step Application Process
- Find a job in Germany through job portals or recruiters.
- Collect your documents, including your Lithuanian degree.
- Book an appointment at the German Embassy or Consulate in Lithuania or Pakistan.
- Attend your visa interview with all original and attested documents.
- Wait for your visa decision (usually takes 4–8 weeks).
- Once approved, relocate to Germany and start your new job!
💼 Can You Apply from Lithuania or Pakistan?
You can apply for the German work visa either:
- From Lithuania (if your Lithuanian residence permit is still valid), or
- From Pakistan (your home country)
If you’re in Lithuania on a student visa and it hasn’t expired yet, it’s often easier to apply from within the EU.
🌍 Why Germany?
- High job demand in IT, engineering, nursing, business, and sciences
- Stable economy and strong immigrant support
- Pathway to PR and eventually citizenship
- Work-life balance and quality of life
💡 Pro Tip:
Start applying for jobs 3–6 months before graduation. You can also apply for the German Job Seeker Visa if you don’t have a job yet, giving you 6 months to find one.
