"It's easier to pay the mortgage than the rent"

(name changed), a resident of Minsk

, moved to Vilnius in 2020 and will soon be moving into his apartment.

He took out a mortgage from a Lithuanian bank and now pays 550 euros per month, but this amount varies depending on the mortgage rate.

In order for the bank to agree to such an option, it is enough to have a temporary residence permit of the Blue card type.

It is issued mainly to foreigners who have an employment contract in Lithuania.

"I decided that it was easier to pay the mortgage than the rent, throwing the money away.

I was looking for an apartment through a website where notices from developers are posted.

I imagined where I wanted an apartment, so I found it quickly - somewhere within a week.

A mortgage for Belarusians in Lithuania assumes that you have 30% of your money for housing, 70% is provided by the bank," he says.

The apartment cost 140,000 euros, it is a two-room apartment: bedroom, living room, kitchen, unfurnished.

The apartment is relatively close to the center.

"The longest was the application review procedure by the bank, it can take a month.

I took out a mortgage for 25 years, there is a function of early repayment without any penalties," says Oleg.

The conditions under which EU banks agree to issue mortgage loans to citizens of Belarus are approximately the same throughout the EU.

As a rule, this is the presence of a permanent residence permit, a permanent job with at least an average salary and a relatively large down payment.

However, each application is considered individually, the final decision rests with the bank.
