In brief
The official yearbook shows absence-based cancellations, but is not a complete statutory checklist. Confirm the current rule and exceptions for your grant basis before a long India stay.

Identify your precise permit category
Next stepThe Migration Department handles temporary permits and permanent EU residence permits. Practical preparation: retain the decision and separate these from EU-citizen/family permanent rights before applying any absence rule.
Check the permanent-permit absence ground
The 2025 official yearbook reports cancellation for more than twelve consecutive months in a non-EU state, or twenty-four months for specified Article 53(1)(8¹)/(8²) grants. It also lists another-EU residence beyond six years or acquisition of its long-term status. Confirm your category and exceptions directly.
Review temporary and family permissions separately
The same yearbook records temporary-permit cancellation grounds including residence abroad beyond six months and employment termination, and linked family consequences. Those are risk flags for an authority review, not a universal grace period.
Use MIGRIS for Lithuanian citizenship renunciation
The MFA’s current renunciation page directs applications through MIGRIS. It says statelessness prevents consideration and identifies criminal-proceeding/conviction and specified mobilisation restrictions. Obtain the current evidence checklist and appropriate mission appointment instructions.
Coordinate nationality decisions before passport changes
Practical preparation: tell both the Lithuanian and Indian authorities which citizenship is currently held and what approval/assurance the other authority can issue. Keep a lawful nationality and travel-document path; do not renounce first in expectation of Indian approval. Check each child separately.
