One of the bases for immigration to Lithuania is an intention of an alien to study in Lithuania.

If an alien wishes to study in Lithuania, he (she) shall, first of all, choose an education institution and a study programme. If the alien satisfies all the requirements set by the education institution for admittance as well as any other requirements, the alien may apply for issue a Temporary Residence Permit in Lithuania on the base of his (her) intention to study in Lithuania. The documents for issue a Residence Permit in Lithuania may be submitted to a diplomatic mission or a consular institution in a foreign state or to the Migration Service in Lithuania.
