New Zealand →LithuaniaWorking Holiday in Lithuania for New Zealanders (2026)
Requirements, application steps and preparation before departure.
Step 1
Check requirements and language preparation
Length of stay
Up to 12 months
References: NZ-LT-MINISTRY-18 NZ-LT-AUCKLAND-18 NZ-LT-FEE-18
Initial funds
The ministry requires one minimum monthly wage for each month, plus departure resources. Its EUR 4,560 yearly example is historical. Confirm the current wage-based calculation; no new euro total is inferred.
References: NZ-LT-MINISTRY-18 NZ-LT-AUCKLAND-18 NZ-LT-FEE-18
Visa fee
The ministry page lists an older EUR 60 consular fee. Current Migration guidance lists EUR 140 for a national-visa application in Lithuania and the Auckland service lists EUR 110 separately. Confirm the charge applicable to the actual filing route; these are not one automatic total.
References: NZ-LT-MINISTRY-18 NZ-LT-AUCKLAND-18 NZ-LT-FEE-18
Annual quota
Ministry describes the bilateral allocation; not evidence of current places.
References: NZ-LT-MINISTRY-18 NZ-LT-AUCKLAND-18 NZ-LT-FEE-18
Application dates and timing
No current annual filing window established. The national visa is described as valid up to twelve months from issue; confirm granted dates.

A language examination is not established by this New Zealand-specific ministry page.

Insurance
Cover valid for the entire stay
References: NZ-LT-MINISTRY-18 NZ-LT-AUCKLAND-18 NZ-LT-FEE-18
Documents and participation
Application for a multiple-entry national visa, travel document, support/departure resources and full-stay health insurance. Current Migration filing requirements must be checked in MIGRIS.
References: NZ-LT-MINISTRY-18 NZ-LT-AUCKLAND-18 NZ-LT-FEE-18
Step 2
Apply through the official route
- Confirm the New Zealand scheme category with Lithuania’s Migration Department and obtain its current MIGRIS checklist.
- Prepare support based on the current minimum monthly wage, return travel, passport and whole-stay health cover.
- Use the confirmed national-visa route; the Auckland external-service appointment must be booked through MIGRIS, not directly with an intermediary.
- Pay the applicable official and service charges only after confirmation, attend identity/document submission and await the visa decision.
Step 3
Read your approval and entry conditions
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4
Get ready for the trip
Do not use the old EUR 4,560 example as today’s budget. Separate living support, departure, insurance and processing costs. The January 2024 ministry explanation and current Migration service pages use different fee and filing contexts.
- Passport, visa and requested evidence accessible offline.
- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.
- First accommodation and airport transport arranged.
Step 5
Start your Working Holiday
The ministry says scheme participants do not need a separate work permit, but work and study remain secondary and limited to six months. Check the visa’s issue-based dates and obtain any local registration instructions before acting.
Work
Up to 6 months under the published scheme
Study
Up to 6 months
