Common Foreigners In Lithuania: 3 General Groups (Stereotypes!?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2023
- WHY DID YOU COME TO LITHUANIA? It's a very, very common question for foreigners. I don’t think that question is as common for migrants to the UK, or France, or Germany. But Lithuanians - and even fellow foreigners - tend to be curious about how people end up choosing Lithuania as a destination. Here are three common types of foreigners...

Labas, i am one of the international student in Vilnius from Turkey. I watched most of your videos before coming. They were very helpful for me :)
Merhaba!
Hi, are you a game dev too?@@Mendogology
@@ali_theDev Yes, but how did you know? I am writing from my personal account :O
I saw Unity editor in your video. I can recognize unity editor anywhere.@@Mendogology
Merhaba! Yakında oraya taşınacağım, yaşamın nasıl orada?
I am a Ukrainian who moved after the start of the war to Poland, and then to Canada for study and work purposes. Well, I am a not a typical refugee, cause I was able to afford moving to Canada and back relying on myself, so at least now I consider myself mostly as an immigrant.
After receiving my degree and working for a few Hollywood studious in Vancouver I became really homesick after Eastern Europe, had no desire to emigrate Canada, especially with their insane prices in big cities and almost no perspective buying your own apartment even working for 20 years... Once the strikes in Hollywood came and my job started suffering I decided that it's a good idea to relocate at that moment.
I surprisingly quickly found a job in a big international bank office in Vilnius and also returned to my freelance activity in 3D field. I really love this city, that's incredibly safe and clean comparing to Vancouver, and I love the balance between historic architecture, modern and postsoviet one, as well as in my hometown^^
Glad you're enjoying it here Anna!
lithuania aint eastern european doe
Did you not find the salary low in comparison to somewhere like Canada, even if the accommodation costs are more reasonable? Of course I dont know what you do in a bank exactly in Lithuania, some roles may pay quite high salaries but if its like 2500-3000 euro a month type job it doesn't leave you with much savings after paying bills.
@@zatarawood3588 2500-3000 a month, in Lithuania, is enough for you to have a mortgage for a solid house, with all the proper commodities and all that.
Even if you live in the most expensive part of Vilnius, you spend 1.5k a month maximum on yourself. And that's if you live alone.
For some, Lithuania is a "gateway to EU". I know one UA-camr who moved to Lithuania and now is in Germany.
For Iraqis from Belarus… but ok it is not Lithuania but my country Latvia 😂
Not sure if there's enough substance to make a video on it, but I've been curious to learn about foreigners of Lithuanian ethnicity who grew up outside of Lithuania coming back there. If there's a community of people like that, what their experience is like, if It's common or a rare occurrence, etc.
I am one myself and would love to move back here so I'd love to learn whatever I can and it would probably make for an interesting topic
This video is more or less about the topic- if you haven’t already seen it:
This Lithuanian Became An Australian, Then Returned To Lithuania

My Grandparents were refugees from Lithuania and came to America around 1910. They went through a lot to get here and luckily made a new life. Sadly, My Grandmother died from the Spanish flu when my Dad was just 1 year old. I would love to visit Lithuania now that it's free and open.
Bingo! Nailed it! I think, however, there is another, outlier catagory; the one that I fall into: Americans who met their LT wife in a differnet country (in my case, England) who got married and moved to the USA who now want, oh so badly, to move to LT - because, well, my country is moving "too far in the wrong direction", but would not try to put myself anywhere near the catagory of refugee. The country is still a bit 'undiscovered' (a plus!), beautiful (check, check!), and the cost of living is very afforbable to someone who comes with some well-saved funds from the West (all boxes ticked!).
Im literally a stereo type 😂
If you are still single, you are a mono type. In that case - don't waste your time - upgrade to stereo.
@@fidenemini111 🤣🤣🤣
What's that place at 1:12? Its like a little courtyard with trees and restaurants and cafes around it. Ive seen it before but cant place it?
This summer when I visited Lithuania the bolt drivers both coming and going only spoke Russian.
if you were in Vilnius then yeah
As a Lithuanian, I already think that this is a big problem. If you live in Lithuania and do public work, you must speak Lithuanian, not the language of another culture. Perhaps we are too tolerant of emigrants.
@@ERNESTASTANEVICIENE Ukrainians just came to Lithuania , i guess some of them are trying to learn Lithuanian, but its hard. But i guess youre right , we`re a bit too tolerant to them
@@Dafooq. Ukrainians at least put the effort into learning it sometimes. Bulbas and so on, not so much.
Come to Riga, Latvia… Russian is the only language you will hear in many areas
The biggest group: Medicine students from germany
There are 2 kinds of migrants: legal and illegal 😂
There is a running joke in my family that Lithuanian women are Lithuania's greatest export. I think you are on track with that stereotype! And nothing wrong with it either!
This "joke" reminds me more with Russian women and Ukrainian women, where the biggest export there is women. Sad that Lithuanian women have in common with Russian women and Ukrainian women when it comes to an obsession of foreign men.
Id say Lith womens rnt an export, they are mans import attractors
@@erika4843 aha, tuo metu lietuviai šauktinukai turėtų galvas guldyti atėjus laikui. Įdomiai funkcionuojanti visuomenė :D šiaip būtų įdomu sužinoti lyčių proporcijas, nes kiek žinau Lietuvoje daugiau tik VYRESNIŲ moterų. Tai reiškia, kad problema dar labiau išryškėja jaunuose žmonėse ir dauguma lietuvių vyrų lieka be lietuvės kaip poros.
@@erika4843Do you not think it goes both ways, in that these women actually are looking for foreign men? If foreign men & these women both want to get into a relationship why is it an issue? Do you think that people should just stick to their own people?
What about Lithuanian women being curious about foreign women?
I'm a student from Pakistan 🇵🇰
I am a 27 old man from Colombia with a Lithuanian wife. 😅
I notice is that the popular foreign men among women from South America, including your female compatriots -- are foreign men from the U.S. and Western Europe. Whereas the popular foreign women among men from South America, including you and your male compatriots -- are foreign women from Eastern Europe.
@@erika4843 That's right.
@@Krisstensalvatore Not gonna lie, I wish that the other way around be common from both sides.
@@erika4843 well, it is what it is
@@KrisstensalvatoreThat's sad. 🙁
Aah,Those all Love Migrants ;)
And nearly all of Love Migrants in Lithuania are men (surprised pikachu). Lithuania is, literally, the land of imported grooms. Sad that Lithuania is similar to Thailand and the Philippines, because vast majority of foreigners living in Thailand and the Philippines are men, because almost all of foreign guys married to local wives.
@@erika4843 there are a lot womans who married into Lithuania - have seen a lot of youtube videos on this topic, some of them are active youtubers
🤢🤮
