Hi! I am "hopefully" moving to Lithuania in July of this year. My husband is Lithuanian and is currently living there himself. Getting a visa can be extremely difficult. Honestly, I have tried for more than a year to get a work visa and it is nearly impossible to find a company or workplace to fill out all the necessary paper work and then pay all of the fees. I think your best bet will be to look into to all the laws and see if there is some way you can get a spousal visa, since your husband will obviously be able to get one himself if he has the job. As for getting a job, if you can teach English it's not really that difficult to get a job. Most language schools that I have talked with really love Americans that come there to teach and plan on staying a while, but you have to have the visa before you get there. None of the schools I talked with would help me get a visa. I also definitely recommend talking Lithuanian language courses before you get there. Many people "can" speak in English, but if you only speak in English many people in stores and things of that nature will do their best to take advantage of you. They will consider you tourist. That being said I was able to find a great school online that taught me classes via skype and I am fairly fluent after about 5 months of classes.

Good Luck to you!
Lithuania is a beautiful country with some very amazing people. Have an open mind and embrace the new culture!
