(LVAT case-law review, 2025)
Summary:
The Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania (LVAT) held that a formally concluded but not actually performed employment contract (no commencement of work, no records in the Sodra system) does not constitute a genuine basis for residence in Lithuania.
📌 Practical significance:
In disputes, it is necessary to provide evidence of actual employment, rather than relying solely on the employment contract itself.
