Also, certain documents (mostly translated into Lithuanian) will be required, such as the VAT registration form, a copy of the articles of association, an extract from the trade register, a certificate of VAT liability, proof of the tax representative, etc. The complete procedure is predefined and, in most cases, lasts around one month. From the perspective of fiscalization, it is important to state that a fiscal representative is necessary in Lithuania.
