Short answer

A Lithuania national long-term (D) visa or temporary residence permit requires health insurance valid for the whole period of stay, with a minimum amount of EUR 5,792, covering basic medical assistance costs and return for health reasons (Source: LT_LONGSTAYD_URM_2026, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, Consular Information “Health Insurance”, Resolution No 230 of 1 March 2005; verified 2026-06-17). The EUR 30,000 figure that often appears for Lithuania is the short-term (C) visa minimum, not the national (D) visa.

What the authority requires

The MFA Consular Information “Health Insurance” page, citing Resolution No 230 of 1 March 2005, states:

  • “This Resolution requires that aliens who arrive in the Republic of Lithuania or who seek to receive a temporary residence permit in the Republic of Lithuania be covered by health insurance contracts (policies).” (Source: LT_LONGSTAYD_URM_2026; verified 2026-06-17)
  • The policy must cover “all basic medical assistance costs and travel expenses which may arise in connection with the return, for health reasons, of the alien to homeland (medical transportation, including escort by medical brigade or a doctor)”.
  • “The minimum amount of health insurance in respect of a single alien shall be: EUR 5 792 … in case of issuing … a long-term (D) visa or a temporary residence permit.” (EUR 30,000 applies to a short-term (C) visa.)
  • “A health insurance contract shall be valid throughout the period of the alien’s stay in the Republic of Lithuania.”

How we evaluate

The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Three rules are encoded from the Consular Information page: insurance is mandatory, a minimum of EUR 5,792, and validity for the whole period of stay. The page states the policy may be issued by “an insurance undertaking of any state” (so no EU-licence condition is encoded), and the return-for-health-reasons (repatriation) wording is preserved in the evidence excerpt.

Because EUR 5,792 is a modest threshold, products that document a coverage limit at or above it and cover the whole period are GREEN: Genki Native, Genki Traveler, AXA Schengen Europe Travel and World Nomads. SafetyWing shows YELLOW because it is a monthly subscription that can lapse before the stay ends. Products that do not document a coverage limit (for example the Spanish domestic health policies) stay UNKNOWN rather than a guess. This is the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle in action. See /methodology/ for the full logic.
