TO FOSTER AN UNACCOMPANIED MINOR FLEEING FROM WAR

To become the legal representative of an unaccompanied minor fleeing war please:

  • contact the nearest territorial office of the State Child Rights Protection and Adoption Service;
  • an application form containing your name, surname, date of birth, place of residence, the number and gender of the children you wish to foster, and a personal statement that you are free from extremely serious or fatal illnesses;
  • to provide the consent of cohabitants over the age of 16, the territorial office of the Service will forward the information to the care centre after it has received your documents and checked whether there are any legal barriers.

Specialists will visit your home at a pre-arranged time for advice and information.

Once you become a foster carer, you will have access to foster carer training, professional support
and advocacy to ensure the best interests of the child.

I WANT TO EMPLOY A UKRAINIAN

Residents of Ukraine who have left the war zone are in all cases exempted from the obligation to obtain a work permit in Lithuania and/or a decision on compliance with the needs of the labor market, so employers will not have to apply to the Employment service for work permits and/or decisions on compliance.

Employers who have concluded an employment contract with a foreigner must submit a report in the prescribed form to FWL via the EDAS SODRA information system. The specified notice of an employment of an alien must be submitted not later than one business day before the day of employment of the alien
