Types of Lithuanian Residency

Temporary Residence Permit (TRP)

A Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) allows foreign nationals to live in Lithuania for a specific period, generally up to 2 years. This permit is typically issued for reasons such as employment, studies, family reunification, or business. The TRP is the first step toward obtaining long-term residency in Lithuania and can be renewed if necessary.
