Lithuania Visitor Visa (Family & Friends Visit)
The Lithuania Visitor Visa for a Family & Friends Visit is a Schengen short-stay Category C visa issued to foreign nationals travelling to Lithuania specifically to visit relatives or friends. As Lithuania is part of the Schengen area, the visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area, provided Lithuania is the applicant’s main destination. A letter of mediation from the host person or organisation in Lithuania, submitted electronically through the Lithuanian Migration Information System (MIGRIS), can support the application. As with all Lithuania visa categories, the decision to approve a Visitor Visa (Family & Friends Visit) application rests solely with the competent Lithuanian Diplomatic Mission or the Migration Department, based on the documentation submitted.

Lithuania Tourist Visa Processing Time
Lithuania processes Visitor Visa applications for family and friends visits under the standard Schengen Visa Code timelines. Standard processing is typically completed within 15 calendar days of a complete application, though this can extend up to 30 calendar days, and on an exceptional basis, up to 60 calendar days, where further scrutiny is required. Processing speed depends on the completeness of the invitation or letter of mediation, verification of the host’s status in Lithuania, and application volumes at the relevant Mission or Visa Centre. Applicants are advised to submit their application well ahead of the intended travel date and to avoid booking non-refundable travel until the visa decision is confirmed.
