Bangladesh passport holders: Single entry for Lithuania. Fee: EUR 90 (~USD 103.96). Processing: Up to 14 working days from the New Delhi VFS centre (add approx. 2 extra days if lodged via a non-Delhi Indian VFS office); some Bangladesh-facing sources cite 15-20 working days overall once Indian-visa and travel logistics are included. Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.
Overview
MAJOR CORRECTION: Lithuania has NO representation arrangement with any other Schengen state in Bangladesh and NO VFS or embassy visa centre in Dhaka (confirmed: Sweden's own Dhaka VFS one-pager lists Finland/Iceland/Latvia/Luxembourg/Slovenia as represented, but explicitly NOT Lithuania; the EEAS Bangladesh representation matrix likewise omits Lithuania). Bangladeshi applicants must travel in person to New Delhi, India and submit their application at the Lithuanian Embassy's VFS Global visa application centre there — biometrics and document submission cannot be done in Dhaka. Standard Schengen (C) visa fee: EUR 90 (~USD 104 / ~BDT 12,864), payable in INR in New Delhi.
Visa types: Lithuania — Schengen C visa: Tourist, Business, Family/Friends Visit, Transit, Cultural/Sports, Medical (all require an in-person application in New Delhi, India). National D visa: Student, Worker, EU Blue Card, Family Reunification, Long-term Residence, Researcher, Startup Visa.

How to apply
Requirements
Passport & photo
Required documents: IMPORTANT ADDITION: because Lithuania has no Bangladesh consular presence, Bangladeshi applicants require a valid Indian visa (commonly cited as an 'X-Double Entry' visa, issued for travel to India specifically to apply at a foreign mission accredited to both India and Bangladesh) in order to travel to New Delhi to lodge the Lithuania application in person. All other standard Schengen documents also apply: valid passport (3+ months beyond stay, 2 blank pages), online application via Lithuania's Electronic Visa Application (visa.vrm.lt/epm), biometric photo, travel medical insurance (EUR 30,000+), flight booking, hotel reservation/invitation, financial proof, employment letter.
Visa types (3)
Schengen member. EUR 90 fee unchanged, but CORRECTED application location: no representation arrangement exists in Bangladesh — must apply in person at VFS Global New Delhi, India.
Lithuania Schengen C Business Visa — must be lodged in person in New Delhi; no Dhaka VFS centre exists for Lithuania.
Schengen Airport Transit Visa (Type A) - required for Bangladeshi passport holders changing planes airside at a Lithuania airport en route to a non-Schengen third country. Keeps you airside; does not permit entry into Lithuania or the Schengen Area.
Common rejection reasons
Common rejections: (1) CORRECTED — no Dhaka processing exists at all; applicants who assume Poland/Sweden represents Lithuania in Bangladesh will be misdirected; (2) missing the Indian entry visa needed to travel to New Delhi to apply; (3) insufficient EUR 40/day funds; (4) weak ties to BD; (5) travel insurance below EUR 30,000.
