Hello, I wonder if you have encountered, if you have worked at one workplace for the last few years in Lithuania, but decided to leave your job voluntarily, it would take 9 months to start your master’s studies abroad. state-sponsored unemployment benefit? Kind of, I understand that this is a bit of cheating the state, but on the other hand, it is the same as losing your job and income, as taxes are paid for that, so that you have some guarantees. Plus, I don’t even know if things would work like this when studying in Lithuania, and here it is still abroad (Netherlands), where I might have to register my place of residence, it is not clear if I will have to deregister from Lithuania due to the health system, I will probably have to open a bank account and the like. You don’t want to end up in a situation where the payment is received, and then it may have to be returned to the person who received it incorrectly. Maybe you were in a similar situation? I tried to write to Sodra and the employment service, but the answer is very slick and unclear, and there is no straight answer in their FAQs. Articles like this seem to suggest that there is a possibility https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/verslas/4/1113293/studentai-oficialiai-gales-tapti-bedarbiais-gales-pretenduoti-i-ismokas-taciau-baiminamasi-apgauliu (under the pretext of aiming "to retrain").
