About this Visa
The Lithuania student visa lets you study at a Lithuanian university for 1-3 years. It's actually two documents: a visa to enter the country and a residence permit to stay legally while studying. Students from any country can apply—there are no country bans or restrictions. Whether you're from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, or anywhere else, you follow the same process as everyone. This is one of the easiest student visas in Europe. Almost 99% of applicants with the right documents get approved. The costs are low, and the requirements are fair.
