FAQs

Common questions about Lithuania.

MIGRIS is the Lithuanian Migration Information System. Your university issues a 'Mediation Letter' number through this system, which is mandatory to book your visa appointment and file your application.

Yes, many universities accept Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificates. However, the Embassy may still conduct a random interview. A Skype/Zoom interview with the university is almost always mandatory.

Master's and PhD students can bring their spouse immediately. Bachelor's students generally cannot (unless they have lived there for 2 years). The spouse also gets work rights if they have a residence permit for family reunification.

If you secure a high-skilled job (IT, Biotech, Engineering) earning at least 1.5x the average salary (~€3,617.10/mo for 2026, or 1.2x ~€2,893.68/mo for shortage occupations; migracija.lrv.lt), you can apply for an EU Blue Card. This fast-tracks PR and allows easier family reunification.

Yes. After graduation, you get a 12-Month (extendable in some cases) Job Search Residence Permit. Once you find a job, you switch to a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) based on employment.
