On March 24, Vilnius City Council decided to provide a one-off payment of 252 euros for people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
The one-off payment will be available to people who have fled Ukraine as a result of the Russian aggression and settled in Vilnius. They will be able to receive the allowance before they are granted a temporary residence permit in Lithuania.
The payment will be allocated within 10 working days of the submission of the application and the necessary documents, according to the Vilnius City Council’s press release.
Applicants will be required to provide a personal identity document, a notice issued by the Migration Department on the submission of an application for a temporary residence permit in the Republic of Lithuania and a bank account number.
There are already around 10,000 people in Vilnius who have fled the war in Ukraine. (LRT/Business World Magazine)
