New Ways to Collect Residence Permits in Lithuania

From 05 April 2023, the Migration Department has started to provide additional document collection services for foreigners.

Now when applying for issuance of a residence permit in Lithuania, a certificate confirming the right of an EU citizen to reside in Lithuania, or a residence permit card of a family member of an EU citizen, a foreign national will be able to collect the produced card at a different division of the Migration Department than the one where the application was submitted.

Until now, it was possible to collect such documents only at the division where the person submitted the application for the issue or replacement of the residence permit.

The foreigners will be able to express their wish to collect a document from another division by filling in the application for the issue of the document at MIGRIS system or upon arrival at the customer service unit of the Migration Department.

One more novelty is the possibility for foreigners to choose the delivery of the produced residence permit card by courier at their preferred address. Until now, such a service was available only to Lithuanian citizens, who wished to receive the ordered personal documents.
