Quick read

  • Lithuania is a small EU and Schengen country where public universities teach many bachelor's and master's programmes in English, often for about €3,500 to €6,500 a year.
  • Indian citizens were the largest group of foreign students in Lithuania at the start of 2025, at about 1,500 people.
  • Full-time degree students from India need a temporary residence permit (TRP) for studies, not a national D visa, and should apply from India before travelling.
  • For 2026–27 you must show about €8,077 for the first year (€577 a month plus €1,153 for a return ticket) and hold health insurance of at least €10,000.
  • Since 22 May 2026, first- and second-year bachelor's students may work up to 20 hours a week; later-year bachelor's, master's and PhD students may work up to 40.
  • Graduates can stay on: the study permit can be extended by 3 months at the end of the course, and a 12-month job-search permit is available after that.

Lithuania is the largest of the three Baltic states, with a population of under three million. It joined the European Union in 2004 and uses the euro. Most universities that teach in English are in Vilnius, the capital, and in Kaunas, the second city.

For Indian families the main attractions are moderate fees, living costs well below Western Europe, and an EU degree recognised across the European Higher Education Area. Business, IT, engineering and data courses are the most common choices.

Lithuania has also tightened its rules for foreign students in 2025 and 2026, after finding that some people used study permits mainly to work. Genuine students who attend and pass their credits are not the target, but you should plan carefully and choose an established university.

Why Indian students choose Lithuania

India became the largest source country for foreign students in Lithuania in 2024. According to the Migration Department, about 1,500 Indian citizens were living in Lithuania on the basis of studies at the start of 2025, ahead of Belarus and Pakistan.

The wider Indian community is also growing. By the end of 2025 just under 8,000 Indian citizens lived in Lithuania, many of them in skilled jobs. This means there are Indian groceries, student associations and alumni in Vilnius and Kaunas, though the community is still small compared with Germany or Ireland.

The rise in numbers has brought closer checks. In 2025 the authorities withdrew hundreds of study permits from students who stopped attending, and universities now track attendance and credits more strictly. Students who treat the course seriously should not be affected.

Cost of studying in Lithuania

Tuition for non-EU students depends on the university and subject. Study in Lithuania lists averages starting from about €1,300 a year for bachelor's and €2,300 for master's, but most English-taught courses that Indian students choose at large public universities cost about €3,500 to €6,500 a year.

Plan my monthly living costs

Cost of living in Lithuania

Most students spend about €450 to €900 a month, depending on the city and whether they live in a dormitory. Vytautas Magnus University estimates total living costs at about €300 to €1,000 a month.

Monthly living costs
Per monthIn EURApprox. in rupees

Rough monthly total€641–1,500≈ ₹67,946 – ₹1.6 lakh

The residence permit only asks you to show €577 a month, but that is a legal minimum, not a comfortable budget. Plan for more if you will rent privately in Vilnius.

Student visa: Temporary residence permit for studies (Leidimas laikinai gyventi)

Since 1 July 2023 Lithuania no longer issues national D visas to full-time degree students. Indian students apply online in the MIGRIS system and then submit originals and fingerprints at the VFS Global centre in India. Studies is one of the grounds the Indian centre still accepts. A decision normally takes up to two months, and the card is then sent to VFS for you to collect before you fly.

Student visa key facts
Key factDetails
State fee€80 (general processing) plus about €110 VFS service fee
Processing timeUp to 2 months, can be extended; universities warn it can take longer in peak season
Funds required (2026–27)€577 a month for 12 months plus €1,153 for return: €8,077
Health coverAt least €10,000, valid for the whole stay
BiometricsFingerprints and photo at VFS Global in India
Permit lengthUsually 1–2 years, renewable while you make study progress

How to apply

  1. Get an offer and pay the first tuition instalment if the university asks for it; the university then issues a mediation letter number.
  2. Fill in the online application for a temporary residence permit (ground: studies) at migracija.lt (MIGRIS) and upload your documents.
  3. Book a VFS Global appointment in India, ideally 3 to 8 months before your course starts, and within 4 months of the MIGRIS request.
  4. Attend the appointment with original documents, give fingerprints and a photo, and pay the state fee and the VFS service fee.
  5. Wait for the decision: up to 2 months in the normal procedure, which the Migration Department can extend if it asks for more documents.
  6. Collect the residence permit card from VFS in person (production and delivery take up to about 20 days), then travel to Lithuania.
  7. Declare your place of residence in Lithuania soon after arrival, within the deadline your university gives you.
  8. Apply to renew at least 3 months before the card expires; you need at least 40 ECTS credits from the last academic year to renew.

Documents checklist

  • Passport issued in the last 10 years, valid at least 3 months beyond the permit, with two blank pages, plus copies of all stamped pages
  • Mediation letter number from your Lithuanian university
  • Proof of funds: bank statement showing at least €8,077 for 2026–27, with recent transaction history (own or sponsor's, with a notarised affidavit of sponsorship)
  • Health insurance with at least €10,000 cover, valid in Schengen for the whole permit period (some universities ask for €30,000)
  • Police clearance certificate issued within the last 6 months and apostilled (from every country you lived in for over 6 months in the last 2 years)
  • Proof of accommodation in Lithuania, or a signed commitment to declare your address after arrival
  • Digital passport-style photo
  • Receipt for the state fee
  • Academic certificates and transcripts if the university or Migration Department asks for them
  • List of countries you have visited or lived in over the past 10 years (some universities ask for this)

Working while you study

Non-EU students with a study permit do not need a separate work permit. New limits came into force on 22 May 2026: first- and second-year bachelor's students may work no more than 20 hours a week, while later-year bachelor's, master's and PhD students may work up to 40. Working beyond your limit can lead to your permit being refused for renewal or withdrawn.

Work rules for students
RuleWhat it means
Bachelor's, years 1 and 2Up to 20 hours a week during studies
Bachelor's years 3–4, master's and PhDUp to 40 hours a week
Summer holidays and compulsory internshipsNot counted towards the 20-hour limit
Minimum wage (2026)€1,153 a month or €7.05 an hour, gross
Permits issued before 21 May 2026Exempt from the new 20-hour limit, but employers may still apply it, so check with your university

Post-study work visa: Temporary residence permit for job search after graduation

Graduates of Lithuanian universities can stay on to look for work. In your final year the study permit can be extended by 3 months after the course ends, and you can then apply for a 12-month permit for job search or self-employment, so up to about 15 months in total. This permit is only for people who hold a study-based residence permit, not a visa.

Post-study work options
Details
Extension at the end of studiesUp to 3 months after the course ends
Job-search permit12 months, for job search or self-employment; no work permit needed during this time
EligibilityGraduated from a Lithuanian university while holding a valid study residence permit

CostThe Migration Department says no state fee is charged once for this permit; some universities quote €220, so check before paying
What it leads toA work-based permit or EU Blue Card; Lithuanian graduates are exempt from the work quota and some qualification checks for 5 years after graduating

Announced changes

From 1 November 2026, people who entered Lithuania on a Schengen visa (including one issued by another country) will no longer be able to apply inside Lithuania for a study- or work-based permit, so apply from India. Other measures debated in 2025, such as a list of institutions allowed to admit foreign students and limits on master's students bringing family, should be checked with your university before you apply.

Jobs and career opportunities

Lithuania's job market is small but has skills shortages in IT, engineering and finance. The national average gross salary was about €2,427 a month in the third quarter of 2025, and IT pays well above that. Outside English-speaking tech and shared-service companies, most jobs expect Lithuanian.

Graduate jobs and salaries
SectorTypical rolesTypical salary
IT and softwareJunior developer, QA tester, DevOps engineer, data analystAround €1,500–€2,500 a month gross (starting); the IT sector average is about €3,200–€4,300
Fintech and financeCompliance analyst, risk analyst, financial operations associateAround €1,600–€2,800 a month gross (starting)
Shared services and business supportOperations analyst, accounts assistant, multilingual customer supportAround €1,400–€2,200 a month gross (starting)

Best student cities in Lithuania

  • Vilnius

    The capital and main job market, home to Vilnius University, VILNIUS TECH, ISM and Mykolas Romeris University, and most tech and fintech firms.

    The most expensive city: a room in a shared flat is around €300–€500 a month; dormitories are much cheaper.

  • Kaunas

    A large student city with Kaunas University of Technology, Vytautas Magnus University and the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, plus a growing engineering and IT scene.

    Cheaper than Vilnius: dormitory rooms around €100–€220 a month and shared flats from around €250.

  • Klaipėda

    The port city on the Baltic coast, with Klaipėda University and LCC International University; strong in maritime and logistics studies.

    Rents are generally a little lower than in Vilnius.

  • Šiauliai

    A smaller northern city with Vilnius University's Šiauliai Academy; quiet, with lower costs.

    Among the cheapest options, but fewer part-time jobs and a very small Indian community.

Peer-country figures are broad indications for comparison only and change often. Check each country's official migration and university sites before deciding.

Challenges to plan for

  • Language outside the tech bubbleMany part-time and graduate jobs outside IT and shared services expect Lithuanian. A basic language course in the first year helps a lot.
  • Tighter migration checksRules changed in 2026, and permits are withdrawn from students who stop attending or fail to earn credits. You need at least 40 ECTS credits a year to renew.
  • Permit timingThe residence permit can take two months or longer, and some students miss the start of term. Apply as soon as you have the mediation letter.
  • Long, dark wintersWinters are cold, often below zero, with short days from November to February. Budget for warm clothing.
  • A small job marketSalaries are rising but remain below Western Europe, and graduate openings are concentrated in Vilnius. Do not count on part-time work to pay tuition.

Is Lithuania right for you?

A good fit if you…

  • You want an English-taught EU degree in business, IT, engineering or data at a moderate cost.
  • You can show about €8,000 in funds plus the first year's tuition without heavy loans.
  • You are a master's or later-year student who wants to work part-time alongside studies.
  • You are open to learning some Lithuanian and building a career in a smaller market.

Think twice if you…

  • You mainly want to work rather than study; the authorities now check attendance and credits closely.
  • You plan to fund your living costs from part-time work in the first two years of a bachelor's.
  • You want a large Indian community and many English-speaking jobs outside tech.
  • You dislike cold, dark winters.

About Lithuania

Lithuania is the largest and southernmost of the three Baltic states, bordered by Latvia, Belarus, Poland and Russia's Kaliningrad region. It is a member of the European Union, the eurozone and the Schengen area. Vilnius, the capital, has one of Europe's largest surviving old towns, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Kaunas is the second city and a major student centre.

Universities in Vilnius and Kaunas offer a wide choice of English-taught degrees, especially in business, IT, engineering and medicine, at fairly low fees and living costs. The country has a fast-growing tech and fintech sector. Non-EU students need a national (D) visa or temporary residence permit for study, and English is widely spoken by younger people.

Studying in Lithuania: FAQs

Do Indian students need a visa or a residence permit to study in Lithuania?

Full-time degree students need a temporary residence permit for studies. National D visas have not been issued to full-time students since 1 July 2023. You apply online in MIGRIS and submit originals at the VFS Global centre in India.

How much money do I need to show for the residence permit?

For 2026–27 you need about €8,077: €577 a month for 12 months plus €1,153 for a return ticket. This is separate from tuition. The bank statement can be yours or a sponsor's, with an affidavit of sponsorship.

Can I work while studying in Lithuania?

Yes, without a separate work permit. Since 22 May 2026, first- and second-year bachelor's students can work up to 20 hours a week, while later-year bachelor's, master's and PhD students can work up to 40. The 20-hour cap does not apply in summer holidays or compulsory internships.

Can I stay in Lithuania after my degree?

Yes. Your study permit can be extended for 3 months after the course ends, and you can then apply for a 12-month permit to look for work or start a business. Once you find a job, you switch to a work-based permit or an EU Blue Card.

What is the total cost of a master's in Lithuania?

As a rough guide, tuition is about €4,000 to €7,500 a year and living costs about €450 to €900 a month. A two-year master's often totals around €18,000 to €35,000, before scholarships.

Is IELTS compulsory?

Most universities ask for proof of B2 English, such as IELTS Academic around 5.5 to 6.5 or TOEFL iBT. Some accept other tests or hold their own interview, so check each programme.

Is a Lithuanian degree recognised in India?

Degrees from accredited Lithuanian universities follow the European ECTS system. If you plan to work in government roles or study further in India, check equivalence with the Association of Indian Universities before you enrol.

When should I apply?

Apply between October and April for a September start, and earlier if you want a scholarship, since some deadlines fall in early April. Leave at least three months for the residence permit after you receive the mediation letter.
