Lithuanian Temporary Residence Permit
What is a temporary residence permit in the Republic of Lithuania?
A temporary residence permit in the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter referred to as a “temporary residence permit”) means a document granting an alien the right for temporary residence in the Republic of Lithuania for a period specified in the permit. The alien has a right to choose his place of residence in the Republic of Lithuania, to change it, to depart from and return to the Republic of Lithuania during the period of validity of the residence permit. The alien must give a notice of a change about his place of residence to an migration office of a public police division at a territorial police agency.

A temporary residence permit in the Republic of Lithuania is issued to an alien who is a citizen of a non-EU Member State. It is usually issued for a period of one year, though it may also be issued for a shorter period of time. In respect of the persons of the Lithuanian descent and the aliens who have retained the right to citizenship of the Republic of Lithuania, the temporary residence permit is issued for a period of five years.

Where must documents for the issuance of a temporary residence permit be submitted?
An alien must submit an application for the issuance of an initial temporary residence permit and other documents to a diplomatic mission or a consular post of the Republic of Lithuania abroad, and an alien who is lawfully staying in the Republic of Lithuania – to a migration office of a territorial police agency in the territory of which he intends to reside. However, the lodging of such an application does not entitle the alien to stay in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania before the alien’s application has been examined and a decision on the issue has been taken. An application for the replacement of a temporary residence permit (issuance of a new one) is to be lodged by the alien with a migration office of a territorial police agency.
How long does it take to consider an alien’s application for the issuance of a temporary residence permit?
An alien’s application for the issuance of the first temporary residence permit must be considered not later than in duration of two to four months (depending if the applicant has paid additional Migration department fee to speed up his case) from the lodging of the application with a relevant institution, and if an alien is in possession of a long-term residence permit issued by an EU Member State – within two to four months from the lodging of the application with a relevant institution.
The application for extension must be lodged not soonet than four months and not later than two months before the expiry date of the current temporary residence permit.
