Lithuania - Replacing Documents

PD U1 form (Confirmation of periods to be taken into account for unemployment benefits) is a confirmation of employment abroad during which your employer paid unemployment insurance contributions on your behalf.

The form is issued by the foreign employment office after the employment termination and is submitted to the employment office in your home country or the country where you are claiming unemployment benefits.

You will need to present this document when you return from abroad to your home country or another EU country to claim unemployment benefits.

To obtain a U1 form, you will need the following documents:

• Power of Attorney (obtained from us),
• payslips or an annual income certificate Pažyma,
• all employment contracts for the given period,
• all employment termination certificates for the given period,
• employment certificates confirmed by the employer (if employment is still ongoing),
• insurance certificates,
• sickness benefit certificate (if you have received one),
• maternity benefits certificate (if you have received them).

We are able to help you obtain these documents from Lithuania:

• Pažyma: certificate of taxable incomes,
• U1: it proves the entitlement to unemployment benefits after your return from abroad,
• S1: it entitles the taxpayer to use the full health care in the home country while working in different country in the EU.

In addition, we can help you obtain an EWR form to give you unlimited taxpayer status. This will enable you to claim a refund and qualify for various other tax reliefs.

The Pažyma form is a form that every employer must give to their employees. It is a statement of the employee's annual income and the tax withheld from each month's wages for the previous calendar year.

To obtain a Pažyma form, you have to contact your employer and ask them to issue the form for you. If you had more than one employer, you will need a Pažyma form from each of them.
