  • How much does an average house cost in Lithuania?

    The cost of an average house in Lithuania varies depending on the location. In Vilnius, the capital, the average price per 1 m² for a residential property is around €4,500 to 5,000. In smaller towns and rural areas, prices are significantly lower, sometimes around €3,000 per 1 m².

  • Is Lithuania a cheap place to live?

    Compared to Western European countries, Lithuania is generally considered a more affordable place to live. The cost of living, including housing, food, and transportation, is lower than in many other EU countries. However, prices in major cities like Vilnius can be higher than in rural areas.

  • Is it a good idea to move to Lithuania?

    Whether it is a good idea to move to Lithuania depends on personal preferences and circumstances. Lithuania offers a high quality of life, with good healthcare, education, and infrastructure. It is also part of the EU, making it attractive for those seeking residency in a European country. However, factors such as climate, language, and job opportunities should be considered.

  • Is there property tax in Lithuania?

    Yes, Lithuania has a property tax. The rate varies depending on the value of the property and can range between 0.3 to 3% annually. Residential properties valued below a certain threshold may be exempt from tax, while higher-value properties are subject to the tax.

  • Can you own property in Lithuania?

    Yes, both Lithuanians and foreigners can own property in Lithuania. Property ownership rights are protected by law, and foreigners have the same rights to own property as Lithuanian citizens, with the exception of agricultural and forest land for non-EU/EEA nationals.
