## A country in transformation

Today's **Lithuania** is a melting pot of nationalities, a drastic change from not so long ago. Last year, the country received a staggering **55,000 immigrants**. To put that in perspective, the figure is three times the number of babies born in the same period. It is a statistic that highlights just how fast the demographic landscape of the Baltic country is changing.

## Lithuania's new faces

Behind those headline figures, there are concrete stories. The most striking phenomenon is the **15,122% increase in arrivals from Zimbabwe** since **2022**. But they are not alone. The Philippines has seen a **4,026%** rise, closely trinc by Bangladesh with **3,149%**. Significant growth from Tajikistan and Pakistan has also been recorded.

## Why now?

This migratory flow is no coincidence. **Lithuania** has become an attractive destination, probably because of job opportunities or a favourable reception policy. The gap between arrivals and departures has created a positive migration balance that is reshaping Lithuanian society.
