LITHUANIA PLANS TO OPEN AN EMBASSY IN BRAZIL

Up to six staff members could work at the Lithuanian embassy planned to be established in Brazil, and annual maintenance costs are preliminarily estimated at 0.7–1 million euros, according to Lithuania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (URM).

“It is planned that the establishment and launch of the embassy in Brazil will be implemented in stages: in 2026, the estimated funding need is around 200–300 thousand euros, intended only for a few months of operations,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a response sent to ELTA. “In subsequent years, the embassy’s operating costs will depend on the final composition of the mission and the scope of its activities. At present, it is planned that up to 6 staff members would work at the embassy, and special attachés from other institutions may also be assigned. Taking this into account, annual maintenance costs could preliminarily reach up to 0.7–1 million euros. One-off establishment costs (purchase of transport, rental and furnishing of premises, long-term and short-term assets, security solutions, etc.) would be planned separately and could amount to approximately 300–500 thousand euros,” the ministry emphasized.

In addition, the ministry stresses that the establishment of the embassy would help strengthen ties across the region. “Brazil is considered a strategic partner and a natural regional hub. There is already ongoing dialogue with this country, in which mutual interest is seen in strengthening political and economic relations and increasing Lithuania’s visibility in the region. This could be achieved through the establishment of a Lithuanian embassy in Brazil,” the URM stated. “A permanent diplomatic representation would allow operations not only in Brazil but also across a broader Latin American region, and would also create conditions for systematic dialogue with government institutions and business, better use of economic diplomacy potential, and coordination of EU initiatives in the region. This is particularly important for more actively supporting Lithuanian businesses, opening markets for high value-added exports, and attracting investment. This direction is in line with Lithuania’s broader strategy to be present where new political and economic centers are emerging and to ensure long-term representation of our interests.”

UPDATE:
PRACTICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING TIGHTENED
FOR APPLICANTS SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS FOR THE RESTORATION OF LITHUANIAN CITIZENSHIP

The Migration Department has begun strictly requiring that, when submitting a passport, it is no longer sufficient to provide only the personal data page.

Applicants are now required to submit all passport pages containing visas, entry/exit stamps, residence permits, or any other official markings. The document package must be certified with an Apostille and accompanied by an official translation into Lithuanian.

Formally, this requirement is not new.

Officials rely on a specific legal act and, formally, have grounds to require all pages containing official records. In practice, however, officers previously tended to accept documents more flexibly.

The Migration Department has recently started enforcing formal document submission requirements much more strictly. As a result, applicants are now being asked to provide all passport pages containing official records, and in many cases applications are either not accepted or applicants are requested to supplement their files.

If the passport contains no stamps or official records, it is possible to submit a declaration or a special explanatory statement.

Therefore, we currently recommend following the stricter practice now being applied rather than relying on previous practices. This will help avoid additional requests and potential delays in the processing of your case.

Legislation establishes general rules, but the actual practical application of those rules often becomes apparent only during the document acceptance stage. Legal professionals generally understand this distinction.
