Lithuania Family Reunification Visa
The Lithuania Family Reunification Visa allows eligible family members of a sponsor legally residing in Lithuania to obtain a National Visa (D) and subsequently a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) to join their sponsor. In most cases, the applicant is eligible if their sponsor has legally resided in Lithuania for at least two years, holds a residence permit valid for at least one year, and shows reasonable prospects of acquiring permanent residence. Certain categories of sponsors are exempt from the two-year residence requirement, allowing family members to apply immediately. Applications are processed by the Migration Department under the Ministry of the Interior via the Lithuanian Migration Information System (MIGRIS). As with all Lithuania visa and residence categories, the decision to approve a Family Reunification application rests solely with the competent Lithuanian Diplomatic Mission or the Migration Department, based on the sponsor’s status and the documentation submitted.
Eligibility
- Applicant is an eligible family member of a sponsor legally residing in Lithuania
- Sponsor generally has resided legally in Lithuania for at least 2 years and holds a residence permit valid for at least 1 year (unless exempt under specific categories)
- Sponsor shows reasonable prospects of acquiring permanent residence, where applicable
- Sponsor can demonstrate sufficient income and suitable accommodation to support the family member(s)
- Applicant holds a valid travel document
- Applicant is able to provide biometric data as part of the process

Lithuania Tourist Visa Processing Time
According to the Migration Department, a decision on a National Visa (D) application, including for family reunification purposes, is generally made within 15 calendar days of the request, extendable by up to 45 calendar days in individual cases. Where a Temporary Residence Permit is required, the Migration Department generally takes up to 2 months to reach a first-time decision under the standard procedure, and applications should generally be submitted at least 2 months in advance. Processing speed depends on verification of the sponsor’s status, the family relationship, and the completeness of supporting documents. Applicants are advised to review the current requirements on migracija.lt and apply as early as possible.
