Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Lithuanian passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see mfa.gov.md.
⚠ Not from an official source: items marked below come from secondary sources (law firms, employer-of-record guides, IOM, Wikipedia), not the destination government. They are not verified and may be out of date; confirm with the embassy or immigration authority.
These are the main routes and what they require. Whether you qualify depends on your circumstances; the official page decides.
