VILNIUS REMOTE WORK GUIDE · 2026

Can a UK Citizen
Work Remotely in Vilnius?

Visa rules, tax triggers and the real cost of working from Vilnius — distilled into one practical guide.

● Reviewed 11 August 202620 data points3 key sources
THE QUICK ANSWER
No dedicated nomad visa

No clear general-purpose nomad route.

UK citizens can visit Lithuania for up to 90 days in any 180 across Schengen. Lithuania has startup, employment and other residence routes, but no broadly available digital-nomad visa for ordinary overseas remote work.

Bottom lineLithuania does not currently provide a general DNV. Visitor status and a residence permit for another purpose should not be presented as equivalent remote-work authorisation.

01 · VISA POSITION

No dedicated digital-nomad visa

Lithuania does not currently provide a general DNV. Visitor status and a residence permit for another purpose should not be presented as equivalent remote-work authorisation.

Key checks
  • Do not treat Schengen visitor status as work permission
  • Use a residence route matching a recognised purpose for longer stays
  • No Lithuanian employment without authorisation
  • Track Schengen days and tax residence
  • Consider employer payroll and permanent-establishment risk
02 · TAX WATCH-OUTS

Visa permission and tax residence are separate.

Lithuanian residence commonly arises at 183 days or through the centre of interests. Work physically performed there can create Lithuanian-source income.

03 · COST OF LIVING

Plan on ~€1,600/month.

Vilnius offers strong digital infrastructure at moderate EU-city cost. Around €1,600 monthly is a practical solo baseline.
