Lithuania MIGRIS Appointment Alert
Appointments at the Lithuanian Migration Department are booked in MIGRIS, the official migration information system. This page explains which MIGRIS service applies to a temporary residence permit (TRP) or national visa case, and offers independent monitoring: when new appointment dates open, you get notified and book the slot yourself in MIGRIS.
Independent service. Not affiliated with the Migration Department of Lithuania. No appointment is sold or booked on your behalf.
Why MIGRIS appointments are hard to get
MIGRIS releases visit capacity in irregular batches, and cancellations return slots to the calendar throughout the day. If you only check manually once or twice a day, the calendar usually looks fully booked — even though slots did appear in between.
Monitoring closes that gap: the publicly available availability data is read at short intervals and compared with the previous snapshot, so a genuinely new date triggers a notification instead of being missed.
Typical cases we see
- Temporary residence permit (TRP) application submission and collection
- Work-based residence cases after an employer's mediation letter
- Family reunification residence cases
- Eligible national visa (D visa) related services
- Declaration of place of residence and related migration services
Always confirm the exact service and office in MIGRIS against your own case; the Migration Department's requirements take precedence over any third-party summary.
How to be ready when a slot opens
- Create and verify your MIGRIS account before you start monitoring.
- Know the exact service name and office you need.
- Keep your case and document details at hand.
- Open the notification immediately — new slots often disappear in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
- What is MIGRIS?
- MIGRIS is the Lithuanian Migration Information System. Applications for temporary residence permits and related migration services are handled through it, and in-person visits at the Migration Department require an appointment booked in MIGRIS.
- Which service should I select for a residence permit?
- For a temporary residence permit you book the service matching your case, typically submission of a TRP application (or its collection once issued). Selecting the wrong service is the most common reason a booked visit cannot be completed.
- Which offices can be monitored?
- Migration Department divisions such as Vilnius and Kaunas, depending on which locations MIGRIS publicly offers for the chosen service.
- Is MIGRIS the same as VFS Global?
- No. VFS Global handles Lithuanian visa applications abroad, for example in Türkiye. MIGRIS is the domestic system used inside Lithuania by the Migration Department.
- Do you book the appointment for me?
- No. You book it yourself in MIGRIS with your own details. This is an independent monitoring and notification service; appointments are not sold and no slot is reserved on your behalf.
- How fast should I react to a notification?
- Newly opened MIGRIS slots are often taken within minutes, so treat every notification as time-critical and have your case details ready before you start booking.
