The money, honestly

What you spend. What simply stays yours.

Most agents blur these two numbers together. The visa asks you to show funds — that money remains yours to live on in Lithuania. What you actually spend on the visa process is far smaller.

Step by step

Admission to boarding, one clear path.

  1. 1

    Get admission

    Apply to a Lithuanian higher-education institution, clear its motivation/English interview and receive the admission (mediation) confirmation it files with the Migration Department.

  2. 2

    Arrange funds & papers

    Season a bank balance covering €577/month + €1,153 return funds; apostille academic documents; buy €30,000 Schengen-wide medical insurance.

  3. 3

    File the D visa in MIGRIS

    Create a MIGRIS account, complete the national visa (D) application online, upload document scans and book a VFS appointment.

  4. 4

    Submit at VFS Global

    Give biometrics, show originals and pay €140 + service charge at the Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru centre.

  5. 5

    Wait for the decision

    The visa section decides in about 14 working days; satellite-centre files take 2–3 extra days in transit. No status calls speed it up.

  6. 6

    Fly, then switch to TRP

    Enter on the multi-entry D visa and apply through MIGRIS for the study temporary residence permit (state fee €80, urgent €320) before the visa expires.

Learn from refusals

Why Lithuania refuses student files

  • Doubts about genuine study intent — weak motivation interview, unexplained study gaps or course-profile mismatch

  • Funds not credible: sudden large deposits, unverifiable bank letters or thin sponsor income proof

  • Incomplete or inauthentic documents — the visa section can refuse without asking for missing papers

  • Already refused once?See how we rebuild refused files

Lithuania universities and what they charge you

8 institutions we costed at the non-EU rate — the fee an Indian passport-holder pays, which is often several times the EU figure quoted elsewhere. Every row links to the page the fee was read from.

Lithuania does not set tuition nationally — each university's senate or council approves its own annual fee per programme, and state-funded places are effectively reserved for Lithuanian/EU applicants, so an Indian student...

Checked against official sources on 2026-08-27. Fees are per year and exclude the semester contribution some universities charge. They move every intake — open the source before you budget.

Country-wide, public universities run from €3,600 to €9,000 a year for a non-EU student, and separately you must prove €577 a month. Tuition and the money you show are different things — see the split above.

Country figures read from vilniustech.lt, vu.lt, studyin.lt.

Lithuania student-visa FAQs

Is IELTS mandatory for the visa?

The visa itself has no language test. Universities typically want IELTS ~5.5–6.0 or their own English interview, and the Migration Department may also interview you about your study plan.

Is the €577/month money spent?

No. It is proof of funds shown in a bank account and remains your money to live on. What you actually spend on the process is roughly ₹28,000–45,000 (fee, insurance, apostille, service charges).

Do I get a visa or a residence permit?

Both, in sequence: most Indian students enter on a multi-entry National Visa D, then switch to a study Temporary Residence Permit via MIGRIS after arriving in Lithuania.

Can I work during my studies?

Yes — with a study residence permit you can work without a separate work permit, but the hours were cut back in 2026: since the migration-law amendments in force on 22 May 2026, first- and second-year bachelor's students may work no more than 20 hours a week (mandatory course internships and summer holidays excepted). Later-year, master's and PhD students may work full-time. Never budget your funds proof around a job.
