Where to apply

VF Services (UK) Ltd / VFS Global centres in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff accept Lithuanian Schengen applications — the widest UK network of any Baltic state.

Appointment system

Since 1 October 2025 the old EPM portal is retired: applications must be completed in MIGRIS (migracija.lt), and the appointment at the VFS centre is then booked and tracked through your MIGRIS account.

Required documents

  • Valid passport (issued within the last 10 years, valid 3+ months beyond departure, 2 blank pages)
  • Completed and signed Schengen visa application form
  • 1–2 recent biometric photos (35x45mm, ICAO standard)
  • Travel medical insurance covering €30,000, valid across the Schengen area for the whole trip
  • Round-trip flight reservation / detailed itinerary
  • Proof of accommodation for every night (hotel bookings or invitation)
  • Proof of sufficient funds (bank statements, usually last 3–6 months)
  • Proof of employment / studies (employer letter, payslips, student letter)
  • Proof of UK immigration status (BRP, eVisa share code, or residence permit)
  • Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) taken at the appointment

Editor tips

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Any guide pointing you at the EPM portal (visa.vrm.lt/epm) is out of date; EPM closed in October 2025.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.

Where to submit if you apply from the UK
