Study in Lithuania · Guidance from Vilnius
Get professional guidance for university applications, accommodation, airport pickup and settling in Lithuania.
Step by step
Ten steps, from the first call to the end of your first semester in Lithuania. The calendar below is an example for an intake starting in September.
About thirty minutes online, with the student and the parents, covering your goal, your grades and your budget. Free, and it commits you to nothing.
A realistic short list that fits your profile. Each programme's requirements, fees and deadlines are checked together against the university's official pages.
Diploma, transcript and passport checked; apostille and sworn English translation handled in the right order.
The university application and, where required, a recognition application to SKVC. Preparation for an interview or English test if the programme has one.
Collecting the admission letter, paying tuition directly to the university, and gathering the documents the school issues for the residence permit.
The application through MIGRIS, health insurance and the other documents requested, and appointment tracking. The housing search starts at this stage.
Collecting the residence card, confirming the accommodation, timing the flight and planning what to bring.
Met in Vilnius, taken to the address, keys handed over and the tenancy agreement read through together.
Address declaration, bank account, phone line, student card and course registration. We go to the appointments together.
One contact you can actually reach. Problems get solved together, before they grow.
The dates are indicative and vary by university, programme and intake. For programmes starting in February the calendar shifts roughly six months earlier. Starting document preparation without waiting for the admission letter is the single step that prevents most delays.
Who this is for
For a student, not being alone here. For a university, knowing that the students it admits still have someone beside them once they arrive.
One continuous process with one person — from university and programme choice to the application file, housing and the shape of your first semester.
Student guidance from abroad, plus practical support once students reach Lithuania. I work independently and am not an official representative of any university.
Also
Two more questions come up often: students arriving for a single term on Erasmus, and parents who want to visit their child.
Your application runs through your own university; my work is the part that happens here. Short-term accommodation, airport pickup, your first week and someone to call all term.
If you want to visit your child, I help with the invitation, the accommodation documents and putting the application file together. The consulate decides; nobody can guarantee a visa.
The hard part
For international students, the difficult part usually begins after the admission letter arrives. Admission is the start of the process, not the end of it.
That's where local support matters.
Who you're working with
The person you speak to, the person who views your flat and the person who meets you at the airport are the same. The whole service is run by one person: that's both its advantage and its limit.
Secondary support
Practical communication support for daily life, university and official procedures. Not a language course; it runs alongside the main service.
What I do
The service splits into two stages: the preparation done while you are still in Türkiye, and the settlement period after you land. The same person handles both.
Working through schools and programmes that fit your profile, budget and goal.
Tracking each step, checking the file is complete, putting every deadline on a calendar.
Which document comes from where, in what order, and with which translation or certification.
Dorm and rental options researched against your campus and budget, checked in person where possible.
Flight timing, a plan for the first week, and what to bring with you.
Met at Vilnius Airport and taken to your accommodation.
Keys, reading the contract together, recording the condition of the flat.
Shops, transport, campus, pharmacy — where things are in your first days.
Going through mobile and internet options and getting you connected.
Residence permit, bank account and municipal registration — guidance and company at appointments.
Enrolment day, student card, course system and your first steps on campus.
Why Lithuania
Lithuania deserves an honest description: it isn't the right choice for every student, but for a particular profile it makes real sense.
Your degree and student status sit inside the European framework, and degrees are awarded under the Bologna system.
There are many bachelor's and master's programmes taught in English — Lithuanian is not a requirement.
A developed IT, engineering and fintech ecosystem, plus established medicine, dentistry and veterinary programmes open to international students.
Cities, daily life, transport, the international environment and who Lithuania actually makes sense for — all on one page.

Universities
I am not an official representative of any of these institutions. This list covers universities that run English-taught programmes and that international students ask about most often.
Lithuania's oldest and broadest university, founded in 1579. It runs English-taught programmes across medicine, computing, law, business and the humanities.

Explore university →For parents
Sending your child to a country they don't know is the hardest item on the list. What this service offers a parent is simple: a contact in Lithuania you can actually reach.
Your child is met, reaches their address safely, and you are told once they have.
Housing isn't picked from a listing and left at that; it is checked on site where possible.
You are updated at the milestones that matter — enrolment, the residence permit application, moving in.
You reach me directly by phone or WhatsApp whenever you need to; there is no call centre or assistant in between.
So your child doesn't withdraw because of the language, I provide practical communication support in English and Lithuanian for daily life and official matters.
Recognition files, emails to the university and correspondence with institutions all run in English; we read and write those texts together.
Students and parents can reach me directly by phone or WhatsApp whenever they need to. This is not guardianship or medical care; what it offers is a real point of contact in Lithuania, always reachable for practical matters.
Your money
Paying someone you haven't met, in a country you don't know, is the most fragile part of this. The answer isn't reassurance — it's a structure you can inspect.
Scope, duration, cancellation and refund terms are in writing before anything begins. I don't work on verbal promises.
The second instalment is paid after you land in Lithuania. It isn't requested before you get here.
Payment goes through a bank and is documented. I don't accept cash.
Tuition, rent and deposits are paid directly to the university or landlord, never into my account.
Payment only comes up once you've seen the scope.
If you withdraw, the refund terms are written into the agreement and read through together beforehand.
Fee
There is one service fee, paid in two equal instalments. No hidden items, no commission, nothing added later.
Tell me your situation and we'll go through realistic options. The consultation is free and commits you to nothing.
We are not a government body
Study in Lithuania is an independent, privately owned education consultancy. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government authority, embassy, consulate, the Lithuanian Migration Department (Migracijos departamentas), VFS Global or any university. We do not issue, obtain, expedite or guarantee visas, residence permits or any other official document, and we cannot influence any authority’s decision. Every official application is filed by the student in their own name with the competent authority — we provide information, guidance, translation and practical support only. Official state fees are paid directly to the authority concerned and are not included in our consultancy fee.
