Overview

Combined work-residence permit valid across EU for managers, specialists, and trainees transferred within the same multinational corporate group.

The Intra-Corporate Transfer (ICT) Card is a specific permit for employees of multinational companies who are being transferred to a branch, subsidiary, or related entity within Lithuania. This permit is designed for managers, specialists, and trainee employees who possess essential skills for the host entity's operations. It allows these professionals to work in Lithuania for the duration of their assignment, which can be up to three years for managers and specialists, or one year for trainees. The ICT Card is highly beneficial for global companies looking to rotate talent and share expertise across their international network.

One of the primary advantages of the ICT permit is that it facilitates mobility across the European Union, allowing the holder to work in other EU Member States under specific conditions. Applicants must prove their ongoing employment with the parent company and provide documentation confirming the corporate link between the foreign and Lithuanian entities. This permit simplifies the administrative burden for companies and ensures that key personnel can be deployed quickly and legally. It is an essential tool for international businesses operating in Lithuania, supporting the seamless integration of global teams into the local corporate environment.
