Video Guide: Important changes to the Lithuania Mediation Number process
A new query regarding the Lithuania study visa has been circulating among students, leading to unnecessary panic. At AA Study Consultant, we believe in providing clear, factual updates. Awais Chaudhary recently addressed this “Shocking Update” to explain the reality of the new bank statement requirements and why students should remain calm.
1. What is the New Bank Statement Requirement?
Traditionally, the bank statement for a Lithuania study visa was only required during the final visa submission at the VFS Global center or embassy. However, due to stricter oversight from Lithuanian immigration, the sequence has shifted for several institutions.
Pre-Mediation Verification: Many universities now request a 3-month bank statement immediately after admission but before issuing your Mediation Number.
Why the Change? The Lithuanian Migration Department (MIGRIS) now requires universities to perform a “pre-assessment” of the student’s financial capability. This ensures that only students with genuine funds proceed to the official immigration portal.
2. The Mediation Number & MIGRIS Link
The Mediation Number is a unique digital code generated by the university through the MIGRIS system. You cannot fill out your Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) application without it.
Efficiency: Once you provide the required statement, universities like KSU (Kazimieras Simonavičius University) typically issue the Mediation number within 3 to 4 days.
The Strategy: As Awais Chaudhary explains, you would eventually need to show these funds for your visa appointment anyway. Moving this step up by just 10 days secures your admission and allows you to file your MIGRIS application immediately.
3. Financial Requirements for 2026
While the video focuses on the timing of the statement, it is crucial to remember the amount required for the 2026 intake:
Monthly Subsistence: Approximately €577 per month (for 12 months).
Return Funds: An additional €1,153 for return travel.
Total Recommended Balance: We suggest maintaining a balance of at least €8,100 to €8,500 to account for currency fluctuations and bank charges.
4. No Need to Panic: The Solution
This update is not a “hurdle” but a way to streamline the process.
Prepare Early: Have your funds ready in a personal or parental bank account as soon as you receive your conditional offer.
Submit to University: Provide the 3-month transaction history to the university’s admission portal.
File MIGRIS: Use the Mediation number provided to submit your online TRP application on the same day.
