Lithuania Spouse Visa 2026: Travel with Your Family
The Truth About Same-Day Travel and Application Myths
Expert Briefing: Understanding the MIGRIS process for Spouse & Dependents.
Lithuania remains one of the most family-friendly Schengen countries for international students. However, there are many misconceptions regarding the Lithuania Spouse Visa policy. Awais Chaudhary (AA Study Consultant) clarifies the latest authentic process for students who wish to travel with their partners [00:00:12].
1. Master’s Degree Privilege
Currently, the spouse visa facility is primarily available for students enrolled in Master’s Degree programs. It is important to note that:
- Same Day Travel: You can travel together with your spouse on the same level [00:00:26].
- No Recent Ban: Despite rumors, the spouse visa route is fully operational as of the latest 2026 updates [00:00:17].
2. The Correct MIGRIS Application Sequence
Many consultants mistakenly claim that the spouse must wait for the main applicant’s TRP approval. Awais Chaudhary clarifies the real-time process:
- Main Applicant Submission: First, the main student files their MIGRIS form.
- Pre-Assessment Clearance: Once the student’s pre-assessment is cleared (usually in 24-72 hours), the data is moved to the external provider [00:00:54].
- Spouse Filing: Immediately after this, the spouse and children can file their MIGRIS forms [00:01:04].
- Joint Appointments: You can book biometric appointments together or separately [00:01:08].
3. The Spouse Visa Interview
Unlike some other countries, Lithuania conducts interviews for both the student and the spouse [00:01:14].
Language Assistance
If the spouse is not fluent in English, Lithuania allows them to sit with a translator during the interview [00:01:19]. This makes the process accessible for families from all backgrounds.
4. Expert Recommendations for Success
While same-day processing is possible, we often suggest a safer alternative to minimize risks:
- The Safe Route: Let the main applicant’s TRP be approved first, then apply for the spouse. This ensures the student’s status is secure [00:01:35].
- Financial Proof: Remember to show additional maintenance funds (approx. €577/month for the student and a similar amount for the spouse) in your bank statement.
- Marriage Proof: Ensure your Marriage Registration Certificate (MRC) is attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
