How to apply

  • Application Submission: Angola citizens must apply for a Schengen visa at the Lithuanian Embassy or Consulate in Angola, or through an authorized visa application center like VFS Global, if available. The primary jurisdiction for Lithuania is usually handled by the Embassy of France, Germany, or another Schengen country in Angola if there is no dedicated Lithuanian mission.
  • Document Checklist: Gather all required documents as listed in the 'What you need' section. Ensure all documents are translated into Lithuanian or English if not originally in these languages.
  • Appointment: Schedule an appointment online through the VFS Global website or directly with the relevant Embassy/Consulate.

  • Biometrics: Your fingerprints and photograph will be taken.
  • Interview: While not always mandatory for short-stay visas, an interview may be required at the discretion of the visa officer, especially if there are doubts about your intentions or documentation.
  • Passport Return: Once a decision is made, your passport will be returned to you, either via courier or for collection at the visa application center.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: The standard Schengen visa fee for adults is EUR 80. For children aged 6-12, the fee is EUR 40. Children under 6 are exempt.
  • VFS Global Service Fee: If applying through VFS Global, an additional service fee (approximately EUR 20-30) will apply.
  • Total Cost Estimate: Expect a total cost of approximately EUR 100-110 for a standard short-stay visa when using VFS Global.
  • Standard Processing Time: The standard processing time is typically 15 working days. However, it can take up to 45 days in individual cases or when additional documentation is requested.

  • Long-stay Visa (Type D) Processing: Processing times for Type D visas are significantly longer, often taking several weeks to months.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • Apply in Advance: It is highly recommended to apply for your Schengen visa at least 1-2 months before your intended travel date to allow ample time for processing and potential delays.
  • Common Rejection Reasons for Angola Applicants: Incomplete documentation, insufficient financial proof, lack of a clear travel itinerary, weak ties to the home country (e.g., employment, family), and previous visa violations are common reasons for rejection. Ensure all documents are accurate and verifiable.
  • VFS Global vs. Direct Embassy Application: Applying through VFS Global is often more convenient due to more accessible appointment slots and streamlined processes. However, for complex cases or long-stay visas, a direct application at the Embassy/Consulate might be necessary or preferred.
  • Travel Advisories: Always check for any current travel advisories issued by your government or the Lithuanian authorities regarding travel to Schengen countries.
  • Extension Options: Extending a Schengen visa within the Schengen Area is generally very difficult and only permitted in exceptional circumstances (e.g., serious illness, force majeure). For longer stays, you must apply for the appropriate visa category before travel.
