TRP - Retained Citizenship Right (Leidimas laikinai gyventi – teisė į pilietybę)

The TRP for those who have retained the right to Lithuanian citizenship is established by the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and the Law on Citizenship. This permit fills a critical gap for individuals who, due to historical circumstances or migration, lost their Lithuanian citizenship but maintained a formal, recognized legal right to restore it. It provides a legal mechanism for these individuals to reside in Lithuania while they navigate the process of citizenship restoration or simply maintain a long-term connection to the state, honoring their historical ties to the nation.

This visa is intended for foreign nationals who hold official documentation confirming their retained right to Lithuanian citizenship, often linked to ancestry or historical residence. It is ideal for those who are in the process of reclaiming their citizenship or who wish to live in Lithuania based on their inherent legal status. The permit is distinctive because it acknowledges a person's unique legal bond with the Republic of Lithuania, providing a stable, long-term residency option that is independent of employment or business activities, and often simplifying the requirements for legal stay.
