What to know before you apply

Lithuania has no dedicated digital nomad or remote-work visa. The Law on the Legal Status of Aliens (consolidated text on the official e-seimas portal) lists the grounds for a temporary residence permit in Article 40(1) and the grounds for a national (D) visa in Article 17 — work, study, family reunification, business/lawful activity and similar — with no category for working remotely for a foreign employer. The national (D) visa is issued for no more than 12 months and applications go through MIGRIS (migracija.lt) and the Migration Department's external service provider. The closest routes that exist: (1) Article 40(1)(16) with Article 49-5, a temporary residence permit for citizens of Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and South Korea who intend to work or engage in other lawful activity in Lithuania; (2) self-employment/'lawful activity' permits, which the EU Immigration Portal states are open only to narrow categories (sportsmen, trainers, performers, accredited journalists, persons implementing governmental programmes, members of recognised religious communities) — residence permits for 2 years or the duration of the activity, renewable, with health insurance of EUR 6000 (permit) or EUR 30 000 (national visa); (3) the start-up visa for founders. Third-party sites marketing a 'Lithuania digital nomad visa' with a EUR 5460/month income test are describing a repackaged D visa 'other cases' category; no such threshold appears in any official source reached. EMN Lithuania recorded (Sept 2022) that Lithuania did not have such a visa but was considering one; no adopted scheme was found. NOT VERIFIED: the Migration Department site (migracija.lt / migracija.lrv.lt) is a JavaScript application that returned no readable content, and keliauk.urm.lt and the mfa.lt embassy sites returned HTTP 403, so the statutory text on e-seimas plus the EU Immigration Portal were used instead.

What it means for your tax days

A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Lithuania's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way.

Does a digital nomad visa in Lithuania make you tax resident?

A visa and tax residency are different things: the visa lets you stay, the tax rules follow the days you actually spend. Check Lithuania's tax authority for the day test that applies to you.

How does Stretch help with the Lithuania stay?

Log the day you land and Stretch counts the days against the permission you are on, shows the date you must be out, and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days. It also tallies the days that count towards tax residency, so the 183-day question answers itself. The counting and the alerts are free, forever.
