Residence permits for Third country nationals

We are moving to a new website! We look forward to seeing you at www.micenter.lt

Residence permits in the Republic of Lithuania are issued to a foreigner who is not a citizen of a Member State of the European Union or of a Member State of the European Free Trade Association. A foreigner has the right to choose, change or leave a place of residence in the Republic of Lithuania and return to it for the period of validity of a residence permit. A foreigner must notify the Migration Department about changes in his or her place of residence and keep in mind that the Law on the Declaration of Residence states that if a person leaves the Republic of Lithuania for more than 6 months period, he or she must declare the departure (in such case the residence permit may be revoked).

There are two types of residence permit in Lithuania: temporary residence permit and permanent residence permit in the Republic of Lithuania.

In a case you lose your residence permit or your personal data has changed, please immediately contact the Migration Department by phone 8 707 67000, calling from abroad: +370 5 271 7112, e-mail:  info@migracija.gov.lt
