TRP - Self-Employment/Freelancer (Leidimas laikinai gyventi – savarankiškas darbas)

The Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) for self-employment is a standard migration instrument that allows non-EU nationals to reside in Lithuania while conducting independent professional activities. It fills the gap for freelancers, digital nomads, and independent consultants who do not have a traditional employer but wish to live and work legally in the country. This permit ensures that self-employed individuals can access the local market and social infrastructure while maintaining their independence as service providers.

This permit is for individuals who intend to engage in lawful, self-directed professional work, such as freelancing or consulting. Applicants must demonstrate that they have the necessary qualifications to perform their work and meet specific financial requirements, including minimum savings and income thresholds to ensure self-sufficiency. It is distinctive because it offers flexibility for those who operate outside of traditional employment contracts, allowing them to legally reside in Lithuania while serving clients globally or locally.
