Company Registration in Lithuania
We handle company registration in Lithuania from start to finish without you having to travel, and after registration we take care of corporate support: changes, filings and questions from banks.
Lithuania is a member of the EU and the eurozone, with well-developed digital infrastructure for business. Company registration in Lithuania suits those who work with European clients, build a fintech or IT product and want a legal entity inside the EU. The main form for small and medium businesses is the UAB, a private limited company. We run the registration remotely, from choosing the form to entry in the Register of Legal Entities, and the whole process usually takes 2–4 weeks.
In Lithuania the hard part is not registration but what comes after it: a bank or payment institution account, reporting, and keeping beneficial owner details up to date. So we do not leave the company once it has its registration code; we keep handling its corporate matters.

Timeline
Usually 2–4 weeks including document preparation; the bank account is a separate stage.
Timelines are approximate: government agencies, consulates and banks set them.
What to watch out for
- Opening an account for a non-resident in Lithuania can be difficult; the bank decides, and a payment institution sometimes helps
- Financial and crypto services require a license; such a business cannot operate without one
- Outdated beneficial owner details in the register lead to fines and questions from the bank
- As of October 2026, Lithuania accepts almost no visa applications from citizens of Russia and Belarus, and almost no residence applications from Russian citizens, so as a rule they cannot relocate through a Lithuanian company
- EU rules cap personal deposits of Russian citizens without EU residence at €100,000 per bank. The cap does not directly apply to a Lithuanian company's account, but banks check such owners more strictly
FAQ
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is on request. Government fees, translations, insurance and other mandatory costs are paid separately; we send the full estimate before you sign.
Can I open a company in Lithuania remotely?
Yes. We handle the registration remotely, by power of attorney or with an electronic signature. A personal visit may be needed for the bank if it asks for a meeting with the manager or the owners.
How long does company registration in Lithuania take?
Roughly 2–4 weeks, including document preparation. Opening an account is a separate process, and its timing depends on the bank and on whether it asks for a meeting. We plan both stages so you know what to expect.
Which legal form should I choose?
For most entrepreneurs a UAB, the Lithuanian equivalent of a limited liability company, is the right fit. If you plan a licensed activity, the requirements for the form and capital may be different. We go through this at the consultation.
What does corporate support include?
Shareholder and manager resolutions, changes in the register, updates to beneficial owner details and help with bank requests. If needed, we add bookkeeping. Keeping these records current helps avoid fines and questions from the bank.
Is Lithuania a good fit for fintech?
Lithuania is known as a jurisdiction for payment and electronic money institutions. But these activities are licensed, and the requirements for capital, staff and procedures are high. First we assess whether this is realistic for your project.
Do you guarantee the result?
No. Decisions are made by government agencies, consulates and banks. We are responsible for preparing and checking documents, filing and support, and we tell you about the risks upfront.
