In 1927, the grandfather of the person was issued a Lithuanian Passport for travels abroad and he left for Brasilia. In 1927, the grandmother and the great-grandmother of the person left for Brasilia as well. The great-grandmother of the person was issued a Lithuanian Passport for travels abroad, too. After leaving Lithuania, the great-grandparents and the grandfather of the applicant remained for permanent residence in Brasilia. They were granted a citizenship of Brasilia. The applicant was born in Brasilia.

For the applicant and his mother, the citizenship of Lithuania was restored without renouncing the citizenship of Brasilia because of establishment of the fact of having a citizenship of Lithuania prior to 15 June 1940 and the fact of leaving Lithuania prior to 11 March 1990 (Double citizenship).
