Lithuanian citizenship
Lithuanian citizenship is an enduring legal bond between a person and the Republic of Lithuania, based on mutual rights and obligations. It may be acquired by birth, naturalisation or the simplified procedure, and restored on the basis of Lithuanian descent — in certain cases while retaining a foreign citizenship.
This category covers the restoration of Lithuanian citizenship by descent, dual citizenship, citizenship matters concerning children and spouses, loss, renunciation and reinstatement of citizenship, as well as the required documents, their retrieval from archives and Apostille legalisation.
