Frequently Asked Questions

No ongoing costs are required for maintaining Lithuanian residency, aside from:

• Standard renewal fees every few years (set by the government, usually minimal).
• Address registration – You can seek your own address or register with one of our company owned addresses for a smaller cost.
• Optional private services like health insurance, schooling, or business setup (handled individually if desired).

Our post-approval support helps you navigate these optional services, but they are not mandatory expenses tied to your residency status.

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.

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.

Lithuanian residency grants you the right to live, work, and study in Lithuania, plus the ability to travel freely across all 27 Schengen countries without the usual 90-day limit. This means no more visa applications or time restrictions within Europe.

You can:

• Establish a European base for personal or business purposes.

• Enroll children in public or private schools across Lithuania.

• Access Lithuania’s healthcare system and purchase EU-wide private insurance.

• Open EU bank accounts and access European financial services.

• Register companies and expand businesses within Lithuania or across the EU.

Residency also opens the door to future opportunities such as long-term residence permits and eventual EU citizenship if you meet standard residency requirements over time.

For many clients, this residency serves as a gateway to a European lifestyle, offering freedom, security, and flexibility unmatched by typical tourist visas or short-term stays.

Yes. Once you have Lithuanian residency and begin paying monthly PSD (Compulsory Health Insurance) contributions, you gain access to Lithuania’s high-quality, affordable healthcare system.

Residents can use Lithuania’s public healthcare services or purchase private health insurance for additional coverage — including treatment in other EU countries.

• EU-wide coverage across multiple countries
• Shorter waiting times for appointments
• Access to specialists and private hospitals
