EU Emergency Travel Document

EU Emergency Travel Document

Information for U.S. immigration authorities

Lithuanian citizens and current residents of Lithuania have to check the information in Lithuanian.

Consulate General of the Republic of Lithuania in Chicago issues the EU Emergency Travel Document (ETD) to Lithuanian citizens and current residents of Lithuania, only to return to Lithuania, if their passport was lost, damaged or expired.

To obtain the ETD, it is necessary to apply in person. If the applicant applies by mail, he/she must pick up the document in person. Only the U.S. Immigrations authorities can apply and receive the document by mail.

Applications for the ETD must be submitted to the consular office via the Lithuanian Migration Information System (MIGRIS). Information on how to submit an application in MIGRIS is available here (in the Lithuanian language).

The ETD is valid for a period of up to 15 days from the date of issuance. The ETD may be issued for a longer period if the trip exceeds 15 days or if other important circumstances prevent the person from returning to Lithuania within 15 calendar days. The validity period indicated on the ETD cannot be extended.
