How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India ordinary-employment intake is unavailable for this scope | required | visa application | The Migration Department’s country-list notice retains India restrictions: accepted temporary-residence grounds include highly skilled work and specified other categories, with ordinary employment outside them; national-visa applications cannot be submitted in India. A degree, twelve-month contract or employer mediation letter does not automatically convert ordinary work into the highly skilled route. Do not book an unsupported category or treat this as all Lithuanian work being unavailable. |
| Ordinary work requires the applicable Lithuanian residence permission | required | visa application | The official28 June 2024 notice establishes that from 1 July 2024 ordinary employment generally requires a Lithuanian temporary residence permit. A national/Schengen visa or another country’s residence permit alone does not authorise this job. Listed exceptions must actually apply; this guide does not assume one. Submitting a residence application does not grant stay or work rights after existing permission expires. |
| New Delhi and Mumbai TRP centres do not override eligibility | required | visa application | The official India service page lists New Delhi and Mumbai for temporary-residence-permit services, not national visas. For an eligible category, booking is through MIGRIS only after application status becomes “Submitted to external service provider.” A listed centre, service fee or available appointment does not establish eligibility for ordinary employment. No account, application, appointment or payment was created. |
| Separate in-country filing restriction starts 1 November 2026 | required | visa application | The official15 October notice, updated 22 October 2026, says that from 1 November 2026 ordinary-work in-country applications require an eligible Lithuanian temporary permit/national visa, another EU/Schengen residence permit, or lawful visa-free stay. A Schengen visa or another country’s national visa will no longer suffice for that filing. This is a future submission rule on the26 October check date; it is not permission to work while waiting or a verified workaround from India. Highly skilled cases and permit renewals have separate conditions. |
| No assumed third-country filing workaround | recommended | visa application | The official country-list notice normally limits external-provider submission to citizens of the country where the provider is located, with defined exceptions. No applicable exception establishing another-country ordinary-work submission for this Indian applicant was verified. Obtain authoritative case-specific eligibility before arranging travel or document processing; a generic employer invitation is insufficient. |
| No obsolete national-D document packet or automatic paid processing | recommended | visa application | No complete current ordinary-work application or applicable India personalised checklist was inspected. Passport/photo/signatures, PCC validity/history, education or experience conditions, insurance, funds, translation, apostille and collection/arrival details are not verified as a filing packet for this unavailable local branch. Do not reuse older VFS national-D lists or purchase blanket services from them. Other accepted categories require their own separately reviewed guidance. |

FAQs
Are all documents for Lithuania work automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
