Obtaining Lithuanian citizenship is a legal process in which the sequence of stages and compliance with the established norms are important. Experienced lawyers help to avoid mistakes and go through the procedure without unnecessary stress.
The first stage starts with a detailed analysis of your situation and checking whether you meet the requirements of the Lithuanian legislation. Lawyers conduct a professional consultation, during which possible grounds for obtaining citizenship are considered. Special attention is paid to the study of the client's personal history and connections with the country. We check the available documents, assess the factors that may affect the outcome and develop individual recommendations for further steps.
The exact composition of the file depends on the method of obtaining citizenship. In any case, you will need to prepare a completed application form, passport and documents proving that you have fulfilled the immigration conditions. For example, repatriates should prove the presence of roots, and in the case of naturalization demonstrate the period of residence, language skills, the amount of financial resources. Documents issued by foreign authorities require translation into Lithuanian and legalization. Lawyers fully control this process, collect most of the data themselves, handle translations and certifications.
The application is filled out and submitted online through the MIGRIS system. Within 4 months of electronic registration, an appointment must be made for a personal visit to the Migration Department to confirm identity and pay the fee. For a few more months, the case is reviewed and its status can be tracked online. Once the application is approved, a decree is issued granting citizenship. Then, within six months, you must take an oath and receive a certificate of citizenship, after which you officially become a citizen of Lithuania.
You can apply for an internal identity card and a foreign passport at the territorial unit of the Migration Department. When you go there, you fill in an application form, provide a current passport and proof of citizenship. As a standard, the documents are produced in a month, accelerated - in 5 or 1 working day. If necessary, it is possible to register in the social and tax system.

There are only a few exceptions in which it is possible to have two passports - for example, if both passports are obtained at birth or one is automatically obtained by marriage.
