According to the Article 21 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, every citizen of the Union shall have the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States, subject to the limitations and conditions laid down in the Treaties and by the measures adopted to give them effect. These restrictions and conditions are, among others, set out in Directive 2004/38 / EC on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. If applicants meet the status of a family member* of an EU citizen as laid down in the Directive, the visa authority of the Republic of Lithuania will give them every opportunity to obtain the required visa and provide them with the best conditions to obtain it, including**:

The Directive 2004/38/EC applies for those family members who together with EU citizen are traveling (or intending to join him/her) to a Member State other than his/her nationality or already living in such a Member State.

For instance: a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with spouse, which is a Polish citizen, are going to Lithuania or intends to meet there.

• Citizens of two EU Member States;
