National visa for up to 12 months for family members awaiting temporary residence permit processing for family reunification in Lithuania.
The National Visa D for family reunification is a long-stay visa established by the Republic of Lithuania to uphold the right to family life for foreign nationals already residing legally in the country. It is governed by the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and serves as a vital instrument for those whose family members (such as spouses, children, or dependent parents) need to join them in Lithuania for periods exceeding 90 days. This visa fills the gap for families awaiting the processing of their temporary residence permits, ensuring they can remain together during the transition period.
This visa is intended for the immediate family members of Lithuanian citizens or foreign nationals who hold a valid residence permit in Lithuania. The applicant must provide official documentation verifying the family relationship and demonstrate that the sponsor in Lithuania has the financial means to support them. A key requirement is comprehensive health insurance. This visa is distinctive because it prioritizes family unity, providing a stable, temporary legal status that allows relatives to relocate and settle into the country while their long-term residency applications are being finalized.
