How Lithuanian Citizenship Can Unlock Your Retirement Dreams in the EU

Lithuanian citizenship

If you’re from the U.S., Canada, Australia, or beyond and dream of spending your retirement in Europe, Lithuanian citizenship may be the key to a more flexible, affordable, and secure future. But getting there — especially on your own — can be slow, confusing, and filled with legal potholes.

At IN JURE Law Firm, we specialize in helping people like you restore their Lithuanian citizenship by descent. With over 3,000 successful cases and a 100% success-fee policy, we don’t just make the process easier — we help make your European retirement a reality.

 

Why Lithuanian Citizenship? And Why It Matters for Retirement

Lithuanian citizenship doesn’t just reconnect you with your heritage. It gives you full EU citizenship — meaning:

– The right to live and retire in any EU country, without visas

– Access to national healthcare systems across Europe

– The ability to buy property, open bank accounts, and settle permanently

– Visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone

 

Why Work with IN JURE Instead of Going Solo?

While Lithuania allows descendants to apply for citizenship without legal help, the do-it-yourself (DIY) path is rarely simple. You’ll need to locate ancestral records, prove lineage through certified and translated documents, and meet shifting legal criteria that differ based on emigration dates and political history.

Here’s where IN JURE Law Firm comes in.

 

What We Handle for You:

– Full eligibility assessment before you commit

– Archive searches and retrieval of Lithuanian citizenship proof

– Verification for complex ancestry cases, including Jewish heritage and Soviet-era emigration

– Translation of documents

– Direct submission to the Lithuanian Migration Department

– Tracking of government review timelines and document requests

 

The Timeline: From First Contact to Lithuanian Passport

 

Document Preparation:

DIY: Can take months or years depending on your research ability and access to archives

IN JURE: Completed in 6–8 weeks using internal legal and archival resources

 

Government Review:

Typically takes 12 months or more once submitted to the Migration Department

 

Total Time with IN JURE:

Around 12–15 months from start to finish

 

Why This Matters for Your Retirement

With Lithuanian (and EU) citizenship, retirees gain real lifestyle flexibility:

– Live anywhere in the EU — no long-term visa hurdles

– Access public healthcare in countries like Spain, France, Italy, or Lithuania

– Purchase property in any EU country without restriction

– Benefit from Lithuania’s low cost of living on a fixed pension or retirement income
