What if I have a criminal record?

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.
