Question 1

Can Pakistani students study in Lithuania in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pakistani students remain eligible for the Australian Subclass 500 Student visa in 2026. Lithuania has strengthened its Genuine Student (GS) test, so application quality matters more than ever — making ICEF-approved agent guidance crucial.

Question 2

What is the Lithuania student visa fee for Pakistani students in 2026?

Accepted Answer

The Australian Subclass 500 visa fee is A$1,600 per applicant from July 2024 (subject to annual review). Health insurance (OSHC) is mandatory and costs approximately A$600–A$900 per year.

Question 3

What is the Genuine Student (GS) statement?

Accepted Answer

From 2024, Lithuania replaced GTE with a Genuine Student declaration. You must demonstrate genuine academic intent, clear career links to Pakistan, sufficient funds, and accurate course progression. Our counsellors structure your statement and conduct mock interviews.

Question 4

How much financial capacity do Pakistani students need for Lithuania?

Accepted Answer

From May 2024, you must show tuition plus A$29,710 for the first year of living costs for yourself (plus additional for family if applicable). Bank statements should be stable — not last-minute deposits. Sponsor income must align with support capacity.

KRAYR partners with Monash, University of Melbourne, UNSW, University of Sydney, ANU, RMIT, Deakin, University of Wollongong, Macquarie, La Trobe, and 10 others across the Group of Eight and top tier.
