The list is important for foreigners coming to work in Lithuania as they can enter the country under a procedure without a permit issued by the Employment Service if their profession is included.

Lithuania says it needs bricklayers, scaffolders, plasterers, welders, butchers, seamstresses, long-haul drivers and others this year.

The list is produced twice a year to balance out demand and supply in the labor market says Baltic-course, citing LETA/BNS.
