Pakistani passport holders looking to become digital nomads have a strong option in Lithuania. The Digital nomad visa allows remote workers to live legally in Lithuania for up to 12 months. Unlike many traditional visas, eligibility for pakistani citizens is based on income and remote employment — not passport origin. This guide covers the income threshold (Not specified), fees, processing time, tax treatment, and exactly how Pakistani citizens should approach the application.

Calculate Your Compound Access →Pakistani passport holders require a visa to enter Lithuania. This means you will need to obtain a short-stay entry visa from the Lithuania consulate in your country before you can arrive and apply for the digital nomad visa. Factor in consulate processing time (typically 2–6 weeks) on top of the digital nomad visa timeline. Some pakistani applicants apply for the digital nomad visa directly at the consulate without entering first — check the Lithuania embassy website for current guidance.
The Digital nomad visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Pakistani citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:
Important: Documents not in Lithuania's official language or English must be certified translated. Pakistani applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Pakistan.
Tax obligations for Pakistani citizens on the Digital nomad visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Lithuania if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.
Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Pakistan citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Pakistan and Lithuania.
Always consult a tax professional who understands both Pakistan and Lithuania tax law before committing to an extended stay.
Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Lithuania immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.
Pakistani applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Pakistan-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.
Pakistani passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Lithuania before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Lithuania embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.

Entry requirements vary by nationality. pakistani citizens may need a short-stay visa to enter Lithuania before converting to a digital nomad visa, or may be able to apply from their home country at the Lithuania consulate. Check the Lithuania embassy website for current entry requirements for Pakistani passport holders.
Processing time is typically 60 days. Pakistani applicants should apply well in advance and factor in any additional document authentication (apostille, notarisation) that may be required for documents issued abroad. Building in an extra 2–4 weeks buffer is advisable.
