About the Lithuanian Embassy in The Hague
The ambassador is Laimonas Talat-kelpša, who presented credentials to the King of the Netherlands on 13 May 2026. Unlike in most countries, the embassies in the Netherlands are not in the capital Amsterdam but in The Hague, the seat of government. One honorary consulate supports Lithuanian citizens in other parts of the Netherlands.
Consular services
The consular section typically handles:
- Lithuanian passports and emergency travel documents
- Registration of births, marriages and deaths
- Certificates for pensions abroad
- Visas for travellers who need one for Lithuania
- Help for citizens in difficulty – illness, arrest or loss of documents
Documents checklist
The most frequent applications and the documents the Lithuanian authorities ask for:
Lithuanian passport or ID card (application abroad)
- Register for an appointment via the Ministry’s Keliauk portal (in some countries applications go through an external service provider)
- Everyone over 2 years old must be present
- Your old Lithuanian passport or ID card and a valid passport or ID of your country of residence
- The consular fee (card payment at many missions)
- Lost, damaged or expired document: the consular post can issue a travel document valid only for returning to Lithuania
