Applicants who require a Lithuanian temporary residence permit must also be prepared to submit a criminal record / police clearance certificate from every country in which they have lived for more than 6 months during the previous 2 years. The certificate must normally be issued no earlier than 6 months before the residence permit application and, where required, must be legalised or apostilled.

This certificate is not part of the academic admission assessment. It is required by the Migration Department of the Republic of Lithuania for the residence permit application.

For example, if you start your studies in September 2027 and graduate in September 2030, your passport must be valid until at least March 2031.

Applicants whose passport does not meet this validity requirement will not be considered.
