Lithuania: Advice About Relocating:

landline calls using TEO are expensive most use skype accounts as LT has excellent internet, I also use VOIP, language is the oldest european tongue and not easy to learn beyond the basics..best way is to have a LT girlfriend to help you....they out number men here and are a better choice than a UK national......taxes you have to declare, register as self employed, 1 bed flat in vilnius...depends on suburb....from £250 plus £100 for untilities..http://www.aruodas.lt/

Lithuania: Digital TV standard:

In Lt they use mpeg 4 for digital tv unlike in the uk where the standard transmission is mpeg2 so check your tv specification otherwise you will need an LT SET top box with scart lead

Lithuania: can i make some friends here?:

Lithuania: Avoiding Lithuanian bureaucracy:

1. Marry an intelligent Lithuanian e.g. teacher 2. BE polite, patient and smile always. 3. Speak positively about being in Lithuania. 4. Show empathy 5.Demonstrate that you want to make a positive contribution by living in Lithuania. 6. Bring skills to the country. 7. Do not offer bribes it has stopped being the custom and can get you arrested by the police. 8. Learn the processes before you arrive. It took me less then 4 hours to get my permission to stay from the police from applying to going back to get my documents. It took one hour to get my municipality registration. I also had no problems buying my house and getting a bank account and then buying an investment apartment for my business. I bought a car , the dealer had t registered to me in 2 hours !! Its all been easier and quicker than UK where you can bang your head on the fone being put on hold by a jobsworth. Cone here as a dumb foreigner thinking lithuania is a poor backward uneducated country and they will treat you accordingly. They have a far higher level of success in education than UK
