Lithuania: a practical, lower-cost entry point into the EU
Lithuania doesn’t run a dedicated digital-nomad product; the standard route is a national visa or work-based residence permit tied to a confirmed employment offer, at a lower cost of entry than Western Europe.
Overview
For most applicants, the route into Lithuania starts with a national (type D) visa or a work-based residence permit tied to a confirmed employment offer, typically beginning with a Schengen visa and converting, once in-country, into a 2-year renewable residence permit. Lithuania’s appeal is a materially lower cost of living and entry compared with Western Europe, while still offering the long-term mobility benefits of EU residence once your status is established.
