Start in MIGRIS before anything else — the printed MIGRIS application is the form the visa centre expects.
Country-specific quirks
Any guide pointing you at the EPM portal (visa.vrm.lt/epm) is out of date; EPM closed in October 2025.
Who can apply where
Your nationality decides whether you need a visa; where you legally live decides where you apply. Applications for Lithuania are handled by its embassy, consulate or visa centre covering your country of residence — you cannot normally apply in a country you are only visiting.
- If you are not a citizen of the country you apply from, bring your residence permit or long-stay visa — it usually has to stay valid for at least 3 months after your return.
- Visiting several Schengen countries? Apply to your main destination, or — if you split time evenly — to the country you enter first.
- Some passports are visa-exempt for short stays and only need ETIAS travel authorisation instead of a visa; long-stay and work permits are still required for everyone.
- Fees, document lists and appointment systems are set per consulate, so the local Lithuania mission for your region always overrides anything on this page.
