Lithuania is a Baltic country in the European Union and the Schengen area. Its universities and colleges offer many Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes taught in English, at tuition fees well below Western Europe. Here is how the student permit works for Cameroonians.
Tuition fees for 2027
| Programme | Tuition per year |
|---|---|
| Business & AI, International Business, Marketing & Advertising, Digital Communication, International Trade & Customs Logistics, Project Management | €3,800 |
| Tourism & Recreation | €3,500–€3,800 |
| Programming & Multimedia, Information & Cyber Security, Computer Games & Animation | €4,400 |
| General Practice Nursing | €4,100–€4,400 |
| Master’s in Business Management | €4,690 |
Step 1: Admission
You apply to the university with your GCE A Level, BAC or Bachelor’s certificates and transcripts, your passport and usually proof of English. Once admitted, you pay the tuition deposit the school asks for and receive your admission documents.
Step 2: Choose your permit: national visa or temporary residence permit (TRP)
Lithuania offers two routes, both managed through its online system MIGRIS:
| National (D) visa | Temporary residence permit (TRP) | |
|---|---|---|
| Valid for | Up to 1 year, cannot be renewed | 2 years (or the length of your studies), renewable |
| Decision time | Within 15 days | Within 3 months (45 days with an extra fee) |
| Health insurance | At least €30,000 cover | At least €6,000 cover |
Most degree students end up on a TRP, because it covers the whole programme. Your university tells you which route it supports.
Step 3: Where Cameroonians submit
Lithuania has no embassy in Cameroon, and its visa centres generally accept only citizens of the country where the centre is located. Cameroonian students therefore submit at a Lithuanian embassy or consulate abroad that accepts them, or in Lithuania itself once they are there legally. The accepted locations change, so we confirm the current option for your file before you book any travel.
Step 4: Proof of funds and documents
You must show you have sufficient money to live in Lithuania for the period of study, usually with bank statements, and/or regular income. You also need your admission letter, proof of tuition payment, accommodation details and health insurance.
Working while you study, and after
- During studies: you may work up to 20 hours a week (full time during the summer holidays set by your school).
- After graduation: you can apply for a 12-month residence permit to look for work or start a business.
- Family: family members generally cannot join Bachelor’s or Master’s students.
