After arriving in Lithuania, every international student must complete two essential steps: registering for a residence permit and securing health insurance. Both are legally mandatory and critical for your status as a student in the country.
📋 Lithuanian Residence Permit
You must register your residence within 3 months of arrival to obtain the Lithuanian residence card. This card is essential for opening a bank account and working legally in the country.
Required Documents for Residence Registration:
- Original passport
- University acceptance letter
- Rental agreement or dormitory confirmation
- Valid health insurance policy
- Proof of financial means
🏥 Health Insurance for International Students
Health insurance is a mandatory requirement. You can obtain comprehensive coverage for between €30 and €80 per month. Healthcare quality in Lithuania is good and doctors in major cities generally speak English.
Available Insurance Options:
- Private insurance: €30-80/month with comprehensive coverage
- University group insurance: some universities offer discounted group policies
- European health card: may be accepted for the first months in some cases
Timeline and Deadlines:
- Register your residence within 3 months of arrival
- Obtain health insurance before your visa is issued
- Renew your residence permit annually as long as you are enrolled
