Lithuania has extended temporary protection for Ukrainians until March 4, 2027, in accordance with the EU decision.

The process will be exactly the same as last year - there will be no changes or additional requirements when submitting applications.

Persons who wish to change their digital temporary residence permits will first need to go to the migration information system of Lithuania MIGRIS www.migracija.lt, in the column for foreigners, indicate your citizenship and in the list of cases that will open, select "I am a person who left Ukraine due to hostilities", and then "Submit an application for a change of passport".

Foreigners will have to fill out the applications that will be opened, book a date for a visit to the selected customer service department, come in person to the selected customer service department at the appointed time and present a valid identity document - a biometric passport of a citizen of Ukraine.

The Migration Department notes that Ukrainian war refugees will be able to choose any customer service department for visits, regardless of their place of residence in Lithuania. Refugees will also be served in those departments that usually serve only Lithuanian citizens. November 4 is the first day when it will be possible to book a visit by filling out the application correctly.

Minors under the age of 2 will also need to come to selected customer service offices of the Department of Migration accompanied by at least one parent or guardian. The image of minor children under 2 years of age will be able to be scanned from an age-appropriate photo of the child provided by the applicant's parent or guardian.

An application for changing a digital permit for temporary residence for minor children under the age of 16 must be submitted (filled out) by parents or guardians.

Each Ukrainian refugee from the war will receive a digital document in the MIGRIS account that he used to fill out the application. Extend your status on time and stay confident about tomorrow! More information here:
