Frequently Asked Questions

Our program is designed for citizens of the US, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand who wish to live in Europe for more than the typical 90-day visa-free period allowed under Schengen rules. Eligibility is straightforward because Lithuania has placed these three countries on its Preferred Passport List, which significantly reduces the usual bureaucratic hurdles.

Applicants must:

• Hold a valid passport from the US, UK, Australia, or New Zealand.
• Have no serious criminal record.
• Intend to live in Lithuania (even if using it as a base to travel across the EU).

Unlike many other residency programs, there is no requirement for investment, no minimum education or language qualifications, and no need to prove prior ties to Lithuania. We have designed our service specifically for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, retirees, and families who want simplicity, speed, and certainty in gaining EU residency.

Before accepting any client, we conduct a quick eligibility check. This ensures that when we take on your case, we are confident of securing approval—this is a key reason why we maintain our 100% success rate.

There are no strict age limits for Lithuanian residency through our program. We work with a diverse client base—from young entrepreneurs in their 20s seeking European business opportunities to retirees in their 60s and 70s looking for a lifestyle change or a base to enjoy EU travel.

The only real age distinction arises for family applications:

• • Dependent children must be under 18 to be included in the family package fee of €15,000.

• • Children over 18 would require a separate application as adults.

Our experience shows that the Lithuanian government welcomes applicants across all age groups as long as they meet the basic criteria (valid passport, clean record, intention to reside). Many retirees find this program particularly attractive because it provides long-term European access without the complexity or high costs often associated with other EU residency schemes.

No. One of the biggest advantages of our program is that no job offer, business investment, or employment contract is required to obtain Lithuanian residency if you hold a US, UK, Australian, or New Zealand passport.

This sets our service apart from many EU residency programs, which typically require:

• Minimum capital investments.
• Company formation or local employment.
• Property purchases or long-term rentals.

Lithuania’s Preferred Passport List means citizens from these countries are considered low-risk, high-value entrants. As such, the government waives many standard requirements, making residency accessible to individuals who simply want the freedom to live, travel, or later build business connections in Europe.

That said, if you wish to start a business after gaining residency, our business incubator services can help you set up a company, find local partners, and integrate into Lithuania’s thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. But it is completely optional—not a condition for obtaining residency.

Yes – However

No formal proof of income or is required for residency approval through our program.

You need to be able to show an available balance in your bank account of approximately €13,000 per adult application, half of this for children. (subject to change)

This is unusual compared to many EU countries, which demand financial evidence such as:

• • Minimum monthly income.

• • Pay slips

• • Pension or employment documentation.

No language test is required for initial residency approval. The Lithuanian government does not impose any language, education, or skill criteria for citizens of the US, UK, Australia, or New Zealand seeking residency under this program.

Many Lithuanians, particularly in government offices, business circles, and major cities like Vilnius, speak excellent English. This makes it easy for new residents to navigate daily life without needing immediate language skills.

Of course, learning basic Lithuanian can enrich your experience, especially if you plan to stay long-term or integrate into local communities. For those interested, we can recommend language courses or private tutors after you arrive, but again, this is optional—not a condition for residency approval.

The documentation process is minimal and simplified compared to most EU residency programs. Typically, you will need:

• • A valid passport (US, UK, Australia, or New Zealand).

• • Health Insurance for 12 months

• • Bank Statement showing a minimum balance of €13,000

• • A completed residency application form, which we prepare for you.

Because Lithuania considers citizens of these countries low-risk, you do not need to submit employment contracts, property deeds, or investment documents.

We handle all translations, government forms, and submission logistics on your behalf. Our clients consistently remark how quick and straightforward the paperwork process is compared to other immigration or residency programmes in Europe.

Yes. Health insurance is mandatory in order to obtain a residence permit. To meet the Migration Department’s requirements, you can choose either to commit to paying monthly compulsory health insurance (PSD) contributions in Lithuania or to purchase a separate 12-month private health insurance policy.

Once you have obtained a temporary residence permit and are making regular monthly compulsory insurance payments, you gain access to Lithuania’s high-quality and affordable public healthcare system. You may also choose to purchase additional private insurance that is valid throughout the European Union. We often assist clients in finding suitable insurance plans after obtaining their residence permit as part of our post-approval support services.

Yes. Our family package covers:

• • Two adults (spouses or partners).

• Up to two dependent children under 18.

This package costs €15,000 total, offering significant savings compared to applying individually. Each family member receives full residency rights, including the ability to live, work, study, and travel across the EU.

For families with more than two children, we can arrange additional applications at reduced rates. Adult children (18+) require separate applications since they are not considered dependents under Lithuanian law.

A clean criminal record is generally required. Minor infractions (e.g., traffic offenses) rarely cause issues, but serious criminal convictions—especially for financial crimes, violence, or fraud—may disqualify applicants.

Lithuania’s preferred passport list however, allows each applicant to make a declaration for the past two years criminal record. Anything prior to this does not need to be disclosed to the authorities.

We advise clients to disclose to us any history upfront during the pre-screening stage. Our team can then evaluate whether it will impact the application or if mitigating evidence (e.g., rehabilitation, time elapsed) might be acceptable to authorities.

Full transparency ensures there are no surprises during the application process and helps maintain our 100% approval track record.

No. The entire application process can be completed remotely through our team. We handle all paperwork, submissions, and government liaison work on your behalf.

However, many clients choose to visit Lithuania after approval to explore the country. For those unable to travel immediately, we coordinate with authorities to arrange convenient options for residency card issuance.

This flexibility makes our program ideal for busy professionals or families who want to secure residency first, then plan relocation or travel at their own pace.

Compulsory Health Insurance (PSD) in Lithuania is a mandatory contribution that ensures you have access to the country’s public healthcare system. By paying PSD, you become entitled to state-funded medical services such as doctor visits, hospital treatment, and other healthcare benefits covered by the National Health Insurance Fund (Ligonių kasos). Foreign nationals are required to pay contributions in advance for the upcoming month.

You must pay PSD contributions if the Migration Department or/and SODRA (State Social Insurance Fund Board) has provided information to the National Health Insurance Fund confirming that you meet all of the following conditions:

1. You have declared a place of residence in Lithuania;
2. You are employed, a member of a small partnership (MB), or self-employed (for example, conducting individual activity) or you are employed on another basis;
3. You hold a temporary residence permit (TRP).

If you meet these conditions and have a spouse, your spouse must also pay PSD contributions.
There are, however, some exceptions — if your family has a child under 8 years old or two or more children, one parent may be exempt from paying PSD (note: this exemption does not apply to single parents). To use this exemption, you must submit a separate application, which can be done retroactively.
