Lithuania does not run a passive "golden visa" in the Mediterranean sense — there is no option to buy an apartment or park money in bonds and receive a residence card by return post. What it offers instead is arguably more durable: a family of business and investment routes that grant temporary residence to people who put genuine capital to work in the Lithuanian economy. For entrepreneurs and investors prepared to operate a real company, these routes deliver EU residency in one of the bloc's fastest-growing economies, with Schengen mobility, family inclusion, and a countable path toward permanent residence and citizenship.
