Frequently Asked Questions

The “Gateway to Europe” program is a specialized residency assistance service created exclusively for high-net-worth and highly motivated individuals and families from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The program helps clients secure Lithuanian residency in as little as four weeks, providing full legal access to the Schengen Area and the entire European Union (EU). Unlike traditional migration consultancies or law firms, Gateway to Europe offers a full-service solution: end-to-end application processing, local government liaison, and post-approval support for lifestyle and business integration.

Clients from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand benefit from Lithuania’s preferred passport list, which simplifies requirements—no upfront investment, no specific qualifications, and minimal supporting documents are required. Our flat fee structure (€10,000 for singles; €15,000 for families) covers all services, so there are no hidden costs.

Moreover, Gateway to Europe’ close ties with Lithuanian government officials ensure a smooth, accelerated application process. Once residency is approved, clients enjoy border-free travel across 27 EU countries, the ability to live and work in Lithuania, and access to world-class education, healthcare, and business opportunities in Europe.

The program is ideal for families seeking lifestyle upgrades, entrepreneurs looking to expand in Europe, or anyone wanting long-term EU access beyond the 90-day tourist limit.

Our application process is designed to be simple, fast, and stress-free for clients from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. There are typically four main steps:

1. Initial Consultation & Pre-Screening: We assess your eligibility based on your passport, criminal record status, and family situation. This ensures we only proceed with strong applications, maintaining our 100% success rate.
2. Document Preparation & Translation: We provide clear instructions for the minimal documents required, such as your passport, photographs, and police clearance. Our team handles all translations, official forms, and liaison with Lithuanian authorities.
3. Application Submission: Using our direct channels within government departments, we lodge your application securely and promptly. This bypasses delays often experienced with regular immigration firms.
4. Approval & Residency Card Issuance: Once approved (typically within four weeks), you receive your residency card, granting full EU mobility rights.

Throughout the process, we provide real-time updates so you always know your application’s status. Most clients are surprised at how seamless and fast everything is compared to standard visa or migration programs elsewhere in Europe.
