Virtual Office and Physical Office in Vilnius

AT A GLANCE

Every Lithuanian company must have a registered address — the legal address at which it is registered with the Centre of Registers (JAR) and to which official correspondence from VMI, JAR, and other state authorities is sent.
A virtual office provides a registered address in Vilnius from EUR 400 per year, including the services specified in the Virtual Address package. Additional administrative services, meeting rooms and physical office facilities are available under separate service plans.
Mail handling is included: all official correspondence received at the address is scanned and forwarded digitally, with immediate email notification — so remote owners and foreign directors miss nothing important.
For companies that need a physical workspace — for staff, for client meetings, or for regulatory purposes — we provide access to private offices and co-working space in central Vilnius, with flexible monthly terms.
Address registration with JAR and VMI is included in the service — we handle the administrative filings so the address is legally valid from the first day of use.

Short answer

A virtual office in Vilnius provides a Lithuanian company with a legal registered address, official mail handling and forwarding, and access to meeting rooms — without requiring the company to lease its own premises. It satisfies the statutory registered address requirement for JAR registration, is accepted by all major Lithuanian banks for account opening, and presents a professional Vilnius address to clients and counterparties. For companies that need physical workspace, we offer private offices and co-working desks on flexible monthly terms in central Vilnius. Both options are available from day one of company registration.

The Registered Address Requirement for Lithuanian Companies

Under Article 2.49 of the Lithuanian Civil Code and the applicable provisions of the Lithuanian Law on Companies, every Lithuanian company must have a registered office address recorded in the Register of Legal Entities (JAR). The registered office is legally associated with the location of the company’s permanent management body. The registration procedure requires identification of eligible premises and, where applicable, consent from the property owner or co-owners. JADIS is an information system for participants of legal entities and is not a separate law governing registered office addresses.

What the registered address is used for

The registered address serves several distinct legal and practical purposes simultaneously:

JAR registration — the registered address appears on the company’s official register entry and on its extract from the Centre of Registers; it is the address by which the company is publicly identifiable
VMI correspondence — the Lithuanian State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) primarily communicates with registered taxpayers through its electronic self-service system, Mano VMI. Notifications about new documents may also be sent to the taxpayer’s registered email address. Certain documents may be delivered through other legally recognised channels, including postal correspondence where applicable. Companies must therefore monitor their official electronic communication channels as well as their registered office address.
JAR filings and notifications — all official Centre of Registers communications go to the registered address
Court documents — legal proceedings are served at the registered address; a company that does not monitor its registered address may miss court proceedings
Business identity — the registered address appears on invoices, contracts, the company’s website, and all official documents; it is part of the company’s public-facing identity
Bank account applications — banks verify the registered address as part of the KYC process

Consequences of an invalid or unmonitored address

A company that fails to maintain accurate registered office information or monitor its official communication channels may miss important legal and tax notifications. Under Article 2.49 of the Lithuanian Civil Code, correspondence delivered to the registered office or the company’s official electronic delivery address may be considered properly delivered, subject to the applicable legal requirements. However, the validity of notification, the commencement of appeal periods and the enforceability of tax decisions depend on the relevant procedural rules. A tax assessment does not automatically become enforceable solely because it was sent to an unmonitored postal address. A summons to court proceedings served at an unmonitored address can result in judgment being entered in the company’s absence. We emphasise mail monitoring as a core part of the registered address service — not a peripheral feature.

 Using a residential address as the registered address

Founders sometimes register their company at a residential address — their home or the home of a family member. This is legally permissible in most cases, but creates practical problems. Lithuanian banks are significantly more cautious about opening accounts for companies registered at residential addresses — the address signals that the company may lack genuine commercial establishment. Enterprise clients and regulated counterparties may raise questions. Lithuanian companies may register their office at residential or commercial premises, provided that the premises and the necessary owner consent satisfy the registration requirements. The Lithuanian Centre of Registers does not impose a universal requirement for a company’s registered office to be located in premises designated for commercial use. Banks and tax authorities assess the company’s actual activities, ownership, transactions and relevant tax circumstances rather than automatically treating a residential registered address as non-compliant. A virtual office may provide administrative convenience, but it does not guarantee favourable tax treatment, banking approval or recognition of genuine economic substance.

Our Office Service Plans

We offer three service tiers to match different stages of company development — from a minimal registered address for a company operating fully remotely, to a full physical office for companies with a local team.

Virtual Address — Registered address + mail handling

€400 / year

Legal registered address in central Vilnius — suitable for JAR registration and all official correspondence
All official mail received at the address scanned and forwarded digitally within 24 hours
Immediate email notification when official mail is received
Annual registered address service renewal — we review the validity of the address service agreement, verify that the company’s registered office information remains accurate and assist with any legally required changes in JAR or relevant VMI records. Lithuanian law does not impose a universal annual registered address confirmation filing with JAR or VMI when the address remains unchanged.
JAR registration of the address included at setup — no separate filing fee
Company name listed at the address — visible on the building directory where applicable

Virtual Plus — Registered address + mail handling + meeting rooms

 Which plan is right for your company?

The Virtual Address plan is right for most foreign-owned companies in the early stages — a registered address with mail monitoring is all that is legally required. The Virtual Plus plan adds value when the company’s directors or founders visit Lithuania periodically and need meeting space for client or bank meetings. The Physical Office plan is for companies that have local employees who need a workspace, companies in regulated sectors that need to demonstrate physical establishment, or companies that want a more substantial local presence for client-facing reasons.

What the Virtual Office Service Includes in Detail

Registered address — the legal foundation

The registered address we provide is a genuine commercial address in central Vilnius — not a post box number and not a residential address. The building is a registered commercial property. The address satisfies the JAR registration requirement for all standard Lithuanian company types (UAB, MB, UAB subsidiary). When you incorporate a company with us, the registered address is registered with JAR as part of the incorporation process. For existing companies switching their registered address to ours, we manage the JAR amendment filing and notify VMI of the address change.

Mail handling — the operational core

Reliable management of official correspondence is an important part of virtual office services for companies managed from abroad. Lithuanian public authorities increasingly use electronic communication systems, including Mano VMI, the Centre of Registers’ electronic services, Sodra’s electronic systems and other official digital channels. Depending on the procedure and recipient, legally significant communications may also be delivered by post or through an official electronic delivery system. Companies should monitor both their registered postal address and their electronic accounts to avoid missing legally binding notifications or deadlines. We handle the full mail process: we receive letters at the address, scan them within 24 hours of receipt (same-day for letters marked urgent), and send the digital copy to the designated email address. We flag items that require a response and advise on deadlines.

What we do not handle

The virtual office handles official correspondence and business mail. We do not accept or store large package deliveries, courier shipments of physical goods, or cash. For companies whose operations require regular courier deliveries, a physical office or warehouse address is more appropriate. For registered mail or certified letters that require a signature at collection, we collect and forward these with the daily mail.

Address management over time

The registered address service requires ongoing monitoring to ensure that the company retains the legal right to use the premises and that its information in the Register of Legal Entities (JAR) remains accurate. A formal filing is required when the registered office address changes, but the ordinary renewal of an address service agreement does not itself require an annual JAR filing. Lithuanian companies are not subject to a universal annual confirmation requirement for their registered office addresses. We assist with reviewing the address arrangements and preparing statutory filings when a reportable change occurs. When a company decides to take physical premises and move its registered address, we manage the JAR amendment and the VMI notification to ensure the transition is seamless.

Physical Office Options in Vilnius

For companies with local employees, companies in regulated sectors that need to demonstrate genuine physical establishment, or companies at the growth stage where a physical presence is commercially important, we provide access to a range of physical workspace options in central Vilnius.

Co-working desks

Co-working desks in a modern Vilnius business centre are available on a flexible monthly basis from €150/month per desk. They are suitable for companies with one or two local employees who need a professional work environment without the overhead of a private office. Co-working members have access to shared meeting rooms, printing, kitchen facilities, and the business address for official correspondence. The building’s business address can be used as the company’s registered address.

Private offices

Private offices for 2–10 people are available from €300/month. Private offices provide a dedicated, lockable workspace for the company’s local team — suitable for companies that need confidentiality, regular client meetings in a professional environment, or a space where remote calls can be taken without background noise. Private offices include the address as the registered address, dedicated high-speed internet, and access to shared meeting rooms. Most private office clients are subsidiaries of foreign companies that have established a small Lithuanian team.

Scaling options

The physical office service is designed to scale as the company grows. A company that starts with a co-working desk can move to a private office when the team reaches 3–4 people, and to a larger private office when the team grows further — all at the same Vilnius address, without changing the registered address or the banking details. This continuity of address through the growth phase has practical value: it avoids the administrative friction of multiple JAR address changes in a short period.

 Location matters for some regulated activities

For financial services companies seeking a licence from the Bank of Lithuania, the registered address and, more importantly, the genuine establishment — meaning actual business activity and a genuine management presence — at the Lithuanian address is part of the licensing assessment. A virtual address alone is not sufficient for financial licence purposes; the Bank of Lithuania expects to see evidence of genuine establishment. For these companies, a physical office with staff present is part of the licensing preparation. We advise on this distinction at the outset for companies that are both setting up and seeking a financial licence.

Getting Started: Address Setup Process

Select the plan

We confirm the appropriate service plan based on the company’s current stage, ownership structure, and any regulatory requirements. For companies setting up a financial licence, we advise on the establishment requirements before selecting a plan.

Complete the address registration agreement

We prepare an agreement governing the provision of registered address and related administrative services. For registration in JAR, the company must have the legal right to use the proposed premises, and the consent of the property owner or relevant co-owners must be provided where required by the Lithuanian registration rules. A commercial virtual office service agreement does not automatically replace the legally required property owner consent. The applicable requirements arise from the Lithuanian Civil Code and the rules governing the Register of Legal Entities, rather than from a separate Law on Legal Entities.

JAR registration of the address

For new companies: the address is registered with JAR as part of the incorporation process — no separate step required. For existing companies switching their address: we file the address change with JAR (€150 fee) and notify VMI. The new address is legally effective from the date of JAR registration.

Mail monitoring begins

From the date of JAR registration, all official correspondence addressed to the company at the Vilnius address is received, scanned, and forwarded digitally within 24 hours. We send an email notification for every piece of mail received, with the scanned document attached. Mail that requires action is flagged with the deadline and our advice on next steps.

Ongoing service and annual renewal

The address service renews monthly. We periodically review the company’s registered office details and the continued validity of the address service agreement. Changes to the registered office are submitted to JAR whenever legally required. There is no universal obligation to submit an annual JAR data confirmation each January when company information remains unchanged. Changes to the service plan take effect in accordance with the agreed contractual terms.

Pricing

All office services are priced at fixed monthly rates. Setup fees are charged once at the start of the engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

A properly registered virtual office address may be accepted by Lithuanian banks, electronic money institutions and payment institutions for corporate account opening. However, acceptance is not guaranteed and depends on the institution’s AML/KYC procedures, the company’s business activities, ownership structure, geographical exposure and evidence of genuine economic operations. A commercial registered address does not automatically establish economic substance or ensure successful onboarding. Residential registered addresses are not prohibited, although financial institutions may request additional information where necessary. We have managed account openings for hundreds of companies using our virtual office address and have not encountered a refusal on the grounds of the address type.

Yes — the registered address is the company’s legal address and should appear on all official company documents: invoices, contracts, correspondence, and the company’s website. EU consumer law and VAT regulations require that companies display their registered address on invoices and their website. The virtual office address satisfies this requirement completely. A company may generally use its lawfully registered office address on invoices, contracts, its website and other corporate documents without separately describing the address as a virtual office in every instance. However, companies must not provide misleading information about their actual business presence, operating premises or place of establishment. Additional disclosure requirements may apply to regulated activities, consumer-facing services and circumstances where the location of actual operations is legally or commercially material.

Standard mail is scanned and forwarded by email within 24 hours of receipt during business days. Mail received on Friday afternoon is typically forwarded by Monday morning. For letters marked as urgent — registered mail, court documents, or items marked ‘Svarbu’ (important) — we send an immediate notification and scan by the end of the same business day. We include the Lithuanian postal date stamp in the scan so the recipient can confirm when the letter was sent and calculate any response deadlines accurately.

Lithuania has several public holidays on which the Lithuanian post does not deliver and our office is closed (Christmas, Midsummer, Independence Day, etc.). Letters delivered immediately before or on a public holiday are scanned on the next business day. We maintain a public holiday calendar for Lithuania and notify clients in advance of any extended closure periods. For time-sensitive correspondence expected around public holiday periods, we advise clients to monitor for arrival and contact us if anything urgent has not been confirmed as received.

Yes. Multiple companies can be registered at the same address — this is standard practice for virtual office providers and is legally unrestricted. The Centre of Registers does not limit how many companies can share a registered address. VMI does not treat shared addresses as a flag for unusual activity in the context of virtual office services. For reference, major law firms, accounting firms, and corporate service providers register dozens or hundreds of client companies at the same address — this is entirely normal and expected.

For financial services licences — EMI, PI, investment firm, MiCA CASP — the Bank of Lithuania assesses whether the company has genuine and stable establishment in Lithuania. A virtual address alone is not sufficient for this purpose: the Bank expects to see evidence of actual business activity being conducted from Lithuania, including staff based in Lithuania, a management presence, and operational premises. A physical office where key staff are based provides part of this evidence. We advise companies preparing for financial licensing to take a physical office from the outset of the licensing process — and we coordinate this alongside the licence application management.

The Virtual Address service is offered on an annual basis at EUR 400 per year, while monthly subscription arrangements may be available for other service packages. Cancellation, renewal and notice periods are governed by the applicable service agreement. Before terminating the address service, a company must arrange another eligible registered office address and register the change with JAR where required. If the company is being dissolved, we continue the address service until the JAR strike-off is confirmed — ensuring that the company does not miss any correspondence during the winding-up process. If the company is moving to its own physical premises, we manage the registered address change filing with JAR as part of the transition.
