TRP - Studies (Leidimas laikinai gyventi – studijos)

The Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) for studies is governed by the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens of the Republic of Lithuania, which aligns with European Union directives regarding the entry and residence of third-country nationals for educational purposes. Established to facilitate international academic mobility, this permit fills the gap for non-EU students who intend to pursue full-time degree programs or vocational training in Lithuania for periods exceeding the duration of a standard national visa, ensuring they have a secure legal status for the duration of their studies.

This permit is designed for international students admitted to recognized Lithuanian higher education or research institutions. It is ideal for those pursuing bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees. A distinctive feature of this TRP is that it grants students the right to work full-time during their studies without needing a separate work permit, provided they remain enrolled, making Lithuania an attractive and flexible destination for international scholars seeking both academic and professional experience.
