Lithuania Extends National Sanctions on Russian and Belarusian Citizens for Another Year

Lithuania to Extend Sanctions on Russian and Belarusian Citizens Until 2026

The Lithuanian government plans to extend the national sanctions imposed on citizens of Russia and Belarus, which are currently set to expire on May 3, 2025, for an additional year until May 2, 2026.

Rationale for the Extension

The Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has proposed an amendment to prolong the sanctions, citing continued threats to European security stemming from Russia’s actions. According to the Ministry’s explanatory note:

The reasons for implementing the sanctions remain valid.
Russia’s activities negatively affect the security of EU and NATO members, as well as the broader European continent.

Impact of Sanctions on Russian and Belarusian Nationals

If the sanctions are extended, the following restrictions will remain in place:

Visa Applications
- Russians and Belarusians will remain unable to apply for short-term Schengen visas.
- National visas will only be granted in exceptional cases, with the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs acting as an intermediary.
Residence Permits
- Applications for residence permits will continue to be denied unless the applicant holds:
  - A valid Schengen visa issued by Lithuania or another EU member state.
  - A valid residence permit from Lithuania or another EU country.
Border Checks
- Enhanced checks for Russians and Belarusians entering Lithuania will remain in place to safeguard national security and public safety.
Real Estate Restrictions
- Russian citizens without a Lithuanian residence permit will remain prohibited from purchasing real estate in Lithuania.

Broader Implications

By extending these sanctions, Lithuania aims to maintain its stance on security and solidarity with EU and NATO policies, reinforcing measures to prevent potential risks associated with ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region.
