Frequently Asked Questions

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.

No. Lithuanian law classifies children over 18 as independent adults for residency purposes.

However, adult children can apply separately under the individual package (€10,000), and we coordinate all applications to ensure family members are approved together.

We often handle extended families, including adult children or elderly parents, through customized solutions designed to keep families united under Lithuanian residency.

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.

Lithuanian residency grants you full access to the Schengen Zone, meaning you can travel freely across all 27 EU member states without visas or the 90-day tourist limit.

This is especially valuable for:

• Business travelers attending meetings in multiple EU countries.
• Families enjoying vacations across Europe without border restrictions.
• Retirees wanting to spend extended time in different EU destinations each year.

With a Lithuanian residency card, you simply cross borders as an EU resident — no paperwork, no embassy visits, no visa renewals.

Many clients use Lithuania as a strategic European base, spending time in Italy, France, Spain, or Germany while maintaining full legal status within the EU. The freedom to move spontaneously, explore opportunities, or attend events across Europe is a game-changer for mobility and lifestyle flexibility.

Lithuanian residency grants you the right to live in Lithuania and travel across the EU, but living long-term in other EU countries depends on their local regulations.

For example:

• • Short stays (up to 3–6 months) in most EU countries are unrestricted for Lithuanian residents.

• Longer stays or permanent relocation to another EU country may require local registration or a residence permit based on that country’s laws.

However, many clients use Lithuanian residency as a base for European travel, spending extended periods in multiple countries without constantly worrying about visa expirations or Schengen limits.

Our team advises on country-specific rules if you plan to live outside Lithuania for extended periods, ensuring full legal compliance across borders.

Yes. As a Lithuanian resident, you can:

• • Use EU citizen queues at airports for faster immigration processing.

• • Access EU travel insurance options covering multiple countries.

• Book travel services as a European resident, often with fewer restrictions and better rates.

For frequent travelers, this status simplifies logistics enormously. Many clients appreciate how residency eliminates the bureaucracy and delays common for non-EU passport holders moving across Europe.

Yes. Lithuanian residency strengthens your eligibility for multiple-entry visas to countries outside the EU, such as:

• • The United States (e.g., B1/B2 visas).

• • Canada and Australia for business or tourism purposes.

• Asian destinations requiring advance visas for non-residents.

Residency demonstrates strong ties to Europe and financial stability, factors that often simplify visa approvals for third countries.

We assist clients with documentation for such applications if needed, providing a full-spectrum mobility solution beyond the EU.

The lifestyle benefits are significant:

• • Spontaneous travel: Weekend trips across Europe without visa planning.

• • Seasonal living: Summers in Spain, winters in Austria, business in Germany.

• • Education flexibility: Exploring universities and schools across multiple EU countries.

• Cultural experiences: Festivals, art, food, and history throughout Europe at your convenience.

High-net-worth families often combine business expansion with leisure travel, using residency to unlock global lifestyles blending work, education, and recreation across continents.

Lithuanian residency creates this freedom of movement, transforming Europe into a borderless, accessible region for living, working, and exploring.
