FAMILY MEMBERS OF AN EU CITIZEN OR A CITIZEN OF AN EFTA MEMBER STATE According to the Article 21 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, every citizen of the Union shall have the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States, subject to the limitations and conditions laid down in the Treaties and by the measures adopted to give them effect. These restrictions and conditions are, among others, set out in Directive 2004/38 / EC (eur-lex.europa.eu ↗) on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. If applicants meet the status of a family member* of an EU citizen as laid down in the Directive, the visa authority of the Republic of Lithuania will give them every opportunity to obtain the required visa and provide them with the best conditions to obtain it, including**: - no visa fee; - visas are issued as soon as possible (the processing of a visa application for more than 15 days can only be exceptional and duly justified), and an appointment should be made on more favorable conditions than for other third-country nationals; - a limited list of supporting documents (a proof that there is an EU citizen, from whom certain rights are derived, that the visa applicant is a member of the family of such an EU citizen and that the person applying for a visa accompanies the EU citizen in the host Schengen Member State, or joins him or her there). *family member: - a spouse or a person with whom an EU citizen has contracted a registered partnership. - direct descendants of a citizen and/or spouse or person with whom a registered partnership agreement has been concluded, who are under the age of 21, or who are dependents. - dependent relatives according to the direct upper line of the citizen, spouse or person with whom a registered partnership agreement has been concluded. The Directive 2004/38/EC applies for those family members who together with EU citizen are traveling (or intending to join him/her) to a Member State other than his/her nationality or already living in such a Member State. For instance: a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with spouse, which is a Polish citizen, are going to Lithuania or intends to meet there. The rights granted by the Directive are generally not applicable to EU citizens living in the Member State of their nationality, except of: - Citizens of two EU Member States; - EU citizens returning to the Member State of their citizenship, who have lived in another Member State; - EU citizens who used the right of free movement in another Member State, but did not live there, for example: provided services in another Member State. **The same conditions also apply to family members of a national of an EFTA (European Free Trade Association) Member State.
