TRP - Guardian/Caretaker of Lithuanian Citizen (Leidimas laikinai gyventi – globėjas)

The TRP for a guardian or caretaker is established under the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens, specifically addressing the legal necessity of providing care for vulnerable Lithuanian citizens. This permit is designed to bridge the gap between legal guardianship obligations and the immigration status of the appointed caregiver. By allowing a foreign national to reside in Lithuania to fulfill their duties, the law ensures that the rights and welfare of the Lithuanian citizen under their care are protected, recognizing that effective guardianship often requires the physical presence of the appointed individual.

This visa is intended for foreign nationals who have been officially appointed as guardians or caretakers for a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania. It is ideal for individuals in legal, professional, or familial roles who have received a formal, state-recognized appointment to manage the affairs or well-being of a Lithuanian citizen. The permit is highly distinctive because it is entirely dependent on the specific legal relationship between the guardian and the ward, prioritizing the humanitarian and legal needs of the Lithuanian citizen over standard economic or employment-based immigration criteria.
