in Lithuania,\r\n    but employment should be treated as supplementary support rather than the\r\n    main source of tuition and living expenses.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>\r\n    Many Zimbabwean students ask whether they can find a part-time job\r\n    immediately after arriving in Lithuania. The honest answer is that student\r\n    employment is possible, but finding suitable work depends on the student's\r\n    immigration status, study schedule, location, language ability, experience\r\n    and the vacancies available at that time.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>\r\n    A student should therefore understand the work rules before accepting a\r\n    job, signing an employment contract or making financial plans based on\r\n    expected earnings.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"vv-work-box\">\r\n    <p>\r\n      <strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> International students enrolled at a\r\n      Lithuanian higher-education institution may have the right to work,\r\n      subject to the conditions attached to their residence status and current\r\n      Lithuanian legislation. Students must verify the work-hour limit that\r\n      applies to their specific permit before starting employment.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"vv-work-warning vv-work-box\">\r\n    <p>\r\n      <strong>Important:<\/strong> Do not travel to Lithuania expecting a\r\n      part-time job to immediately pay your tuition, rent, food and immigration\r\n      expenses.
