Residence permit for spouses or registered partners of foreign nationals or Lithuanian residents, valid for up to 2 years and renewable for up to 4.
The Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) for family reunification is governed by the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens of the Republic of Lithuania. This legal framework aligns with European Union directives aimed at protecting the right to family life, ensuring that foreign nationals can reside with their spouses or registered partners who are either Lithuanian citizens or hold a valid residence permit. It fills the gap for individuals seeking to maintain family unity while living in Lithuania, providing a structured pathway for legal immigration based on established personal relationships.
This permit is designed for the spouse or registered partner of a Lithuanian citizen or a foreign national already residing in the country with a residence permit. It is ideal for those who have entered into a legally recognized marriage or partnership and wish to relocate to Lithuania to build a life together. What makes this visa distinctive is its focus on the integrity of the family unit, often allowing for a more straightforward path to residency compared to employment-based permits, provided that the applicant meets the necessary financial stability and health insurance requirements.
The sponsor must be a Lithuanian citizen or a foreign national holding a valid residence permit (temporary or permanent).
The marriage or registered partnership must be legally recognized.
Both spouses/partners must generally be at least 21 years of age (exceptions apply for EU long-term residents).
The sponsor must have sufficient financial resources to support the family.
The sponsor must have suitable accommodation.
If the sponsor holds a temporary residence permit, they must have resided in Lithuania for at least 2 years (with exceptions for specific categories like highly qualified workers or researchers).
The sponsor's residence permit must be valid for at least one more year.
