    Hello, everyone. I have been told that Lithuanian citizenship can be restored quite easily in case there is evidence of origin. Nevertheless, the speed is always an important question. My grandfather was a Lithuanian and I would like to endeavor to prove my documents by him. What I mean is that I am working and cannot afford to tour the authorities all over. Anyone can tell me the average length of the entire process, that is, how long it would take since the time of submitting the documents before issuance of the passport? I know it is all dependent on the circumstances, but I would like to have at least a rough time period. They tell us that to some it needs six months, and to others years. How realistic is all this?

    The time frames may actually go up to 12-18 months on average. This is because your archives, legal procedures and processing of your documents are verified by the government agencies. Provided that you already have the basic supporting documents (certificates, old passports, references), it is a quicker process. It will take a longer time in case you need to search through the archival records. The web site lithuanian citizenship by descent describes it step by step: one has to obtain citizenship by first checking his data freely, then restoring citizenship, and finally, get a passport. It also has a lot of support companies that will not make you spend your time. They also provide a Money back guarantee in the normal cases in case citizenship is not possible to be restored. The right preparation so the real time it will take is determined by your circumstance but the time taken as a rule is one and a half year.

    I would recommend you to consider this as a long term project. It is always better to be ready beforehand the fact you have to wait. At this time, you are free to run your business, as the experts will be busy locating and presenting documents. The delay in the process can be sometimes really caused by the volumes of work of the archives or by the necessity to verify the changes of surnames. The key aspect is to retain all the copies and to document each step. By doing this, you will have the full set of information despite the long process taken.
