"Assistance to Migrants" avoid traps and obstacles. Consultation and information service in Lithuania ‍

In Lithuania, tens of thousands of Belarusians have found refuge, forced to leave their homeland. In this neighboring country, they seek safe living conditions and the opportunity for a fresh start. Since 2020, around 70,000 of our compatriots have arrived in Lithuania, but their numbers have since decreased. As of January 1, 2025, 57,511 were officially registered. Belarusian citizens face numerous challenges.

‍

A Country to Live in foundation helps Belarusians who left their homeland due to political persecution overcome migration difficulties. We organize free consultations on legalization and other issues related to their new life in Lithuania.

‍

In 2024, our specialists handled 139 requests, including cases such as:

- refusal by Lithuania to grant asylum or a residence permit;

- obtaining a foreign citizen's passport;

- developing an action plan in case Lithuania’s migration service declares a national-level threat;

- choosing a country for legalization under the Dublin Regulation, among others.

‍

Our goal is to provide Belarusians with essential information and help them avoid mistakes that could delay the legalization process or create additional problems. Many have already benefited from our assistance, successfully navigating the traps and obstacles in the legalization process.

‍

We continue to work and support Belarusians who cannot navigate life in Lithuania without proper information and guidance. Your donations can change the lives of those seeking safety and a fresh start in a foreign country.
