Schengen Short-Stay (Type C) — Business Verified 2026-05-04Lithuania Business Visa (Schengen Short-Stay, Type C)
Lithuania Business Visa (Schengen Type C) for Indian professionals — meetings, scientific / educational / professional events, agreements, trade fairs in Lithuania. MIGRIS invitation required from the Lithuanian host.
No visa is ever guaranteed — the final decision always rests with the Lithuania visa authority. We make sure your file is presented at its strongest.
Lithuania — Schengen member · Embassy New Delhi · MIGRIS portal is the form
One Lithuania visa = all 29 Schengen countries. But you must apply through MIGRIS — not the standard VFS form.
All India applications are decided by the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania, New Delhi through VFS Lithuania centres. The Lithuanian government runs its own electronic immigration portal at migracija.lt/en — every applicant creates a MIGRIS login, picks their nationality, and fills the Schengen visa form there. The standard VFS application form does not work for Lithuania. For business / sponsored visits, the Lithuanian host also submits a MIGRIS invitation letter that the applicant references in their file.
29 Schengen countries
Full Schengen member — Lithuania visa unlocks the whole zone, not just Lithuania.
Embassy New Delhi only
All India files decided by Embassy of Lithuania, New Delhi via VFS centres.
15 calendar days (up to 30)
Apply 6 months before / no later than 15 working days before travel. Satellite VFS adds 2-3 days transit to Delhi.
The MIGRIS rule (the form that gets it right)
- Open
migracija.lt/enand create your MIGRIS login. - Pick India as nationality, then choose Schengen visa application form. Fill, print, sign.
- If you have a Lithuanian inviter (business, family, friends, employer, organisation), ask them to file a MIGRIS invitation letter first — you reference it in your application instead of attaching a hand-signed letter.
- Then book your VFS appointment, attend in person, pay the visa fee + VFS service charge in cash / card / UPI / DD.
Two gotchas Indian sites get wrong: (1) Affidavits are NOT accepted as evidence by the Embassy of Lithuania — substituting an affidavit for a proper bank certificate, ITR, or property registry will get the file rejected. (2) Family members of Lithuanian citizens pay €0 visa fee — but you need the marriage / birth certificate notarised AND an extract from the Lithuanian population register (Gyventojų registras). Indian-citizen marriage certificate alone is not enough.
Diplomatic passport holders: visa-exempt for Lithuania under the bilateral India-Lithuania agreement (Official Delegations). Stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period — no application needed.
Note: SureshotVisa handles the 10 Lithuania Schengen Short-Stay (Type C) categories listed below — Tourism, Business, Study/Internship, Visiting Family/Friends, Cultural & Sports, Official Delegations, Medical Treatment, Seafarer (informational), Airport Transit, and Family Members of EU/EEA/CH citizens — end-to-end through VFS.

Why files get refused
Most Lithuania business visa refusals come down to a few fixable things
Refusals are common now, and the government fee is non-refundable. The good news: almost every reason below is something we can strengthen before you submit.
Missing MIGRIS invitation letter from Lithuanian host
Indian employer cover letter doesn't independently confirm trip details
Wrong application form (VFS Schengen form instead of MIGRIS)
Affidavit submitted in place of proper employment / financial proof
Insufficient ITR or business-registration evidence
What we actually do
We build a stronger file — you don't guess
Check your profile before filing
We tell you honestly if the case is ready — before you spend the government fee.
Review funds & ITR alignment
Bank statement, income and tax records presented the way officers expect.
Structure purpose & cover letter
A clear travel story that answers the officer's real questions.
Show strong ties to India
Job, business, property and family framed as genuine reasons to return.
Sponsor & invitation papers
If family is inviting you, we line their documents up with your profile — a common silent refusal trigger.
Guide the full submission
Online portal or VFS appointment, biometrics and passport steps — supported until the decision.
Refused before?
We rebuild refused Lithuania cases the right way.
Reapplying with the same file usually earns the same answer. We find the real reason first, then rebuild — no guarantees, just a properly prepared reapplication.
Before you reapply, we check:
- What your refusal letter actually says — and what it doesn't.
- Whether the officer's GCMS notes are worth pulling for the real reason.
- Which documents were weak: funds, employment, purpose, or ties.
- Whether reapplying now — or strengthening first — is the smarter move.
Same flat fee whether it's your first application or a reapplication. Read the refusal guide

Your fee, justified
₹16,999 fee — what exactly is included?
Our professional fee isn't just form-filling. It covers complete Lithuania visitor visa preparation, document & refusal-risk review, financial-proof structuring, submission support and post-filing guidance. Tap any item to see what's inside.
Before we prepare your Lithuania visitor visa file, we understand your complete profile — every applicant is different, so no two files are built the same way.
- Purpose of travel
- Employment or business background
- Monthly income & savings
- Funds available for the trip
- Family ties in India
- Property / assets, if any
- Previous travel history
- Relatives, friends or a sponsor in Lithuania, if any
- Previous visa refusals, if any
- Planned trip duration
- Who is paying for the trip
- Whether the trip is realistic for your profile
A visitor visa isn't approved just because documents are attached — the purpose, funds, travel plan and return ties all have to support each other.
We don't hand everyone the same checklist. After understanding your profile, we build one for your exact case type:
- Salaried
- Business owner
- Self-employed
- Farmer / agriculture income
- Student or minor
- Retired parent
- Housewife / dependent
- Family visit
- Tourist visit
- Business visitor
- Previous refusal
- Sponsor-supported
- First-time traveller
This avoids missing key documents — and avoids piling on documents that aren't explained properly.
We review your documents before preparing and submitting, checking they're complete, readable, consistent and well-arranged:
- Passport & photographs
- Bank statements
- Salary slips
- ITR / Form 16
- Employment & leave-approval letters
- Business / GST / registration proof
- Income proof
- Property documents, if any
- Family & marriage documents, if applicable
- Invitation & sponsor documents, if applicable
- Previous refusal letter, if any
- Travel history, itinerary & stay proof
Funds are one of the most common refusal triggers. A high balance alone isn't enough if the money doesn't look genuine, stable, and tied to your income. We check:
- Whether the balance is reasonable for the trip
- Average balance vs trip cost
- Sudden large deposits that need explaining
- Salary / business income vs bank statement
- ITR vs income profile
- Whether you can afford the trip without leaning entirely on a sponsor
- Whether sponsor support is properly explained
- Whether funds look genuine and traceable
We help structure the financial side professionally so it reads as genuine, not borrowed for the application.
We help present a clear, realistic purpose — tourism, a holiday, a family/relative visit, an event, a business meeting, or parents visiting children — and make sure it lines up with your dates, funds, itinerary and documents.
A weak or vague purpose makes a file look doubtful. We keep it clear, simple and professional.
We prepare or structure the main explanation letter — a professional summary that makes your case easy for the officer to understand. It covers:
- Who you are and why you want to visit
- How long you'll stay and where
- Who is paying for the trip
- What you do in India
- Which financial documents are attached
- Your family ties in India
- Why you'll return after the visit
- If previously refused — what has changed since
This is not a guarantee letter — it's a clear, professional explanation of your case.
The officer must be satisfied you'll leave Lithuania after your authorized stay. We identify and present your reasons to return:
- Job continuity or business ownership
- Regular income source
- Spouse / children / parents in India
- Dependents and family responsibilities
- Property or assets in India
- Education or business commitments
- Previous travel compliance, if any
If someone in Lithuania is inviting you, we guide the sponsor-side documents:
- Invitation letter
- Sponsor status proof (passport / PR / citizenship)
- Sponsor employment & income proof
- Sponsor bank statement, if needed
- Relationship & communication proof
- Who bears expenses & stay arrangement
A sponsor supports the case but never guarantees approval — your own purpose, funds and ties must still be strong. We also flag if a file is leaning too heavily on the sponsor.
We guide or assist with the application form and details (online portal or the VFS/embassy form, depending on Lithuania), and check consistency between the form and your documents:
- Personal, passport & travel-history details
- Employment & education history
- Family information
- Purpose of visit & funding details
- Sponsor information, if applicable
- Previous-refusal declarations
- Background questions
- Correct document categories
Wrong, incomplete or inconsistent information can hurt this application — and future ones too.
How a file is lodged depends on the country — some are fully online, while others (most Schengen states) need you to complete the form first, then book a VFS appointment and submit a physical file in person. We guide the exact Lithuania process:
- Completing the application form first, where required, to unlock the appointment
- Booking the VFS / embassy appointment
- Arranging documents in the right order — for upload or the VFS counter
- Guiding the visa-fee payment
- Final review before submission or your VFS visit
- What to carry to the appointment (originals, photos, forms)
- Submitting / lodging and saving the confirmation
- What happens after submission
After submission, if biometrics are required, we guide you through:
- Biometrics Instruction Letter
- VFS appointment booking
- Documents to carry
- What to expect at the VFS centre
- How biometrics update in your application
- What to do once biometrics are done
Biometrics fee is separate, paid to the authority / VFS as applicable.
Our support doesn't stop at submission. We stay connected and guide you on:
- How to check application updates
- What official messages mean
- What to do if more documents are requested
- What to do after a Passport Request
- VFS passport submission & courier return
- Decision-update explanation
- Next steps after approval
- Basic guidance if refused
What's not included (paid direct, at actual cost)
- Government / embassy visa fee
- Biometrics fee
- VFS service charges
- VFS courier & SMS charges
- VFS premium-lounge charges
- Travel insurance
- Flight tickets
- Hotel bookings
- Translation charges
- Notary / attestation
- Medical exam, if ever required
- Any other third-party charges
No agency can guarantee a visa — the final decision is always the visa officer's. Our role is to prepare, review, structure and present your file professionally from the documents and profile you provide.

What it costs

The journey.
7 steps from intake to approval. Curved spine on the right shows the natural pace — never as linear as government sites pretend.
- 01
Confirm Lithuania is your main Schengen destination
Apply via Lithuania if your itinerary spends most time (or has its main purpose) there. If splitting time evenly between Schengen states, apply through the country of first entry.
- 02
Create a MIGRIS login at migracija.lt/en
Open the Lithuanian government's electronic immigration portal at migracija.lt/en, pick India from the nationality list, then select the Schengen visa application form. Fill, print, sign. This is the only application form that works — generic VFS forms get rejected at counter.
- 03
Get a MIGRIS invitation letter (where required)
For Business / Visiting Family-Friends (when relying on an invitation) / Cultural-Sports / Medical Treatment / Seafarer categories, the Lithuanian host files the invitation letter through MIGRIS. You reference it in your application — no hand-signed letter needed.

What works
4 levers that flip a borderline case.
- Get the Lithuanian host to file the MIGRIS invitation 3–4 weeks before your trip — Lithuanian-side processing varies.
- Both the MIGRIS invitation AND your Indian employer's cover letter must INDEPENDENTLY confirm: identity, purpose, and period/place of stay. Single-letter applications get refused.
- MIGRIS form is mandatory — the standard VFS Schengen form will get the file bounced at counter.
- If the trip purpose is signing an agreement / closing a deal, attach a copy of the draft agreement / MoU as supporting evidence.
What kills cases
Top 3 refusal triggers we see.
- 1Missing MIGRIS invitation letter from Lithuanian host
- 2Indian employer cover letter doesn't independently confirm trip details
- 3Wrong application form (VFS Schengen form instead of MIGRIS)

Before you apply
Two ways to file your Lithuania visa.
One quietly burns your fee, your trip and your record. The other gets it right the first time.
Do it yourself
The risky route
- You guess which papers Lithuania actually wants — one missing or wrongly-framed document triggers a refusal.
- You copy a cover letter off YouTube or Google — often the exact template embassies already flag as weak.
- You apply during a known peak-rejection window without realising it.
- Embassy & VFS fees are non-refundable — refused means your money, flights and leave are gone.
- One refusal stamp follows you for life — every future visa, anywhere, must declare it.
The gamble
One mistake = fee, flights & record gone

Why DIY goes wrong
How a self-filed application turns into a refusal.
- 1
You feel ready
A few YouTube videos make the process look simple.
- 2
You file it yourself
You submit a sensitive Lithuania visa file on your own.
- 3
One detail misreads
A small framing slip looks like weak ties or unclear intent.
- 4
Refusal
Now every future visa, anywhere, must declare it.
Once you've been refused, you learn the hard way how much the small details mattered. We'd rather you never collect that first stamp.
