I can understand Citizenship or Immigration policy is very strict in this country; Government is NOT ready to accept foreigner here yet( there are so many reasons though), 37 citizenship approval, its nothing at all thers, but I wonder about timescale, citizenship is granting on annually basis or something else?
But Positive immigration always brings positive impact on economy.
hope to be the next one who will get the Lithuanian passport and i’ll fainaly will come home back!!!
