Step-by-Step Application Process

Acquire an Approved Invitation

Ensure your host in Lithuania submits an electronic invitation request to the Migration Department and provides you with the approval number.

Gather Documentation

Compile your financial statements, travel insurance, and the invitation number along with the standard Schengen application form.

Apply at VFS Global

Schedule an appointment at the nearest VFS Global center or designated embassy to submit your biometric data and application in person.

Required Documents

—Syrian passport valid for at least 3 months after departure
—Completed Schengen visa application form
—Two recent passport-sized biometric photographs
—Schengen travel medical insurance (minimum €30,000 coverage)
—Electronic Invitation Number approved by Lithuanian authorities
—Confirmed round-trip flight reservations
—Comprehensive 6-month bank statements
—Proof of socio-economic ties to your country of residence

Important Tips

•Do not apply for a tourist visa without a verified electronic invitation; rejection is almost guaranteed for Syrian passports.
•Ensure your bank statements demonstrate a stable, long-term source of income, not just a recent lump-sum deposit.
•Your travel insurance must explicitly state coverage for all Schengen member states.
•If you are residing outside of Syria, you must provide proof of legal, long-term residency in that country.

Easiest Way to Get It

Securing a verified electronic invitation number from a legitimate Lithuanian business partner or family member is the most secure path to obtaining this visa.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
