I approached Citipassport to obtain Lithuanian citizenship for the entire family. We had documents proving the Lithuanian origin of my great-grandfather, but professional assistance was required.

I am a biochemist by profession and wanted to work in European laboratories. Lithuanian citizenship gave me such an opportunity without additional permits. Citipassport specialists helped me understand the requirements of the repatriation program and gather all necessary documents. I especially appreciated the individual approach and constant communication at all stages. I am now undergoing retraining in Germany and intend to remain here.
Dmitry Peshnya seafarer, 37 years old, Khabarovsk

A seafarer with 15 years of experience, I had grown tired of constant problems with visas and permits. A Lithuanian passport resolved all issues relating to document circulation and employment on European vessels. Citipassport handled the entire process professionally, without delays or problems. The processing took 1 year, and I now work on conditions significantly better than before. I recommend it to all colleagues in the maritime field.
