After visa: settling in
- 1Collect your temporary residence permit (TRP) card from the Migration Department and declare your place of residence within the set window after arrival.
- 2University dorms (Vilnius University, KTU, VMU) are affordable; Vilnius / Kaunas private rental is moderate — secure it before term starts.
- 3Open a bank account — Lithuania is fintech-friendly, so a local IBAN is quick to set up once you're registered.
