STEP 5 – Collect your TRP card

Collect your TRP card after receiving confirmation from MIGRIS.

Police clearance certificate, which is mandatory to provide when applying for Temporary Residence Permit of Lithuania –  is an original paper document and such document must be certified by Apostille or legalized   double legalized (by the authority of the issuing country and by the authority of Lithuania) depending on the country of issue of the Police clearance certificate.

!NOTE: in case you are from the country, which is NOT a participant of the Hague Apostille Convention (check here: https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=41) your documents needs double legalization:

Your certificate confirming the absence of any criminal record can be double-legalized at Lithuanian Embassies abroad, which are accredited for the country, which issue the certificate (for example, Lithuanian Embassy in India double legalize documents which are issued by Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh – https://in.mfa.lt/in/en/travel-and-residence/consular-issues/Legalisation_of_documents). Always check where the closest Lithuanian embassy is and carefully check its web-site regarding double legalization. It may be faster option in some cases.

If your document is from certain countries and you can not obtain a double legalization at the closest Lithuanian Embassy you have a possibility to send by courier service such as DHL, TNT or FEDEX (NEVER by ordinary mail) the certificate confirming the absence of any criminal record already  properly legalized by issuing country to the University that a representative of University would deliver the document to the Consular Department of the MFA of Lithuania. After that student will have to collect his/her respective document by using courier of student’s order.

WORKING IN LITHUANIA DURING THE STUDIES AND AFTER GRADUATION 

Non-EU students willing to work during their studies in the Republic of Lithuania must firstly obtain a Temporary Residence Permit (on the grounds of studies)  and then can work  during their studies at Mykolas Romeris University. No additional work permits are required. 

After graduation, non-EU students, who have TRP while studying, can apply for a new Temporary Residence Permit for 12 additional months for job search and self-employment purposes in Lithuania.  During these 12 additional months, no additional work permits are required from the recent graduates. Students are able not only to search for a job but also to start working. In this case, the alien is released from the obligation to acquire a decision of the Employment Service that his / her work meets the needs of the labour market of the Republic of Lithuania.

All information about application for TRP as a graduate is here: https://www.migracija.lt/noriu-gauti/pakeisti-leidim%C4%85-laikinai-gyventi2   (section ” I am a foreigner who has completed studies or training under a formal vocational training programme in Lithuania, or a researcher who has completed scientific research and experimental development work”)

Later on, if employment in the Republic of Lithuania continues, the graduate should timely apply to renew his/her Temporary Residence Permit on the grounds of the Employment contract and also obtain a work permit from the Public Employment Service . In order to obtain a Work Permit, either an Employer or a graduate himself can apply.

Information provided in the  Public Employment Service Under the Ministry of Social Security and Labour of the Republic of Lithuania

Please note that such TRP will be valid for 1 year during which you can look for employment or work without any extra work permits.  You do not need University’s mediation for such TRP. You are providing to Migration department your Bachelor or Master degree’s Diploma and Diploma Supplement.

It is not so easy to go for studies  abroad and to get used to the new environment, especially when cultural and other differences between your country and Lithuania as well as language barrier are significant. 

For this reason at Mykolas Romeris University we asked our students- volunteers to help international students to adapt in the new environment. Since academic year 2006/2007 Mentors’ programme was organized by the Committee for International Relations of Students’ Representative Body where students are working to ease some worries of students’ life. Such mentors help during the first month of academic year to all new undergraduate students to orient themselves in the university and around. 

In Mykolas Romeris University, Mentoring system is also offered by ESN MRU Vilnius, a part of Erasmus Student Network (ESN), which is the biggest student association in Europe, established on the 16th October 1989 and legally registered in 1990 for supporting and developing student exchange. As of March 2017, ESN is present in more than 800 Higher Education Institutions from 40 countries.

ESN MRU Vilnius is a local section of ESN Lithuania with the main aim to help incoming and outgoing international exchange students in Mykolas Romeris University. ESN MRU Vilnius was established on the 10th of February, 2010 and is located in Mykolas Romeris University, Room II-214.

The section has lots of active, friendly and really fun members and around 200 exchange students every semester. ESN MRU Vilnius has 9 board members and coordinators who engage in organizing big and small events starting from Introductory Week and during each semester..

Mentors are MRU students volunteers – your contemporaries. Most of them already have been Erasmus students so we know with what kind of problems exchange students face and peculiarities of Erasmus traditions. All incoming exchange students get personal mentors which can answer most of the questions about life, entertainments and places to visit in Lithuania.
