A visa is required if the purpose of travel is as a long term residency, for long term study, for volunteer activities, for employment or other remunerative activities.

In order to obtain a visa for Japan, the applicant must apply in person to an embassy or consulate. There is no system by which a proxy can carry out the application procedures in Japan. Foreigners who obtain a visa for Japan must pay a visa fee. Generally speaking, the fees are about ¥ 3,000 for a single-entry visa, ¥ 6,000 for a double-entry or multiple-entry visa, and ¥ 700 for a transit visa (fees are collected in local currencies). The issuance of visa takes around 2 weeks.

In case of lost or stolen passport, Japanese nationals should report the loss/theft to the nearest police station (it is advised to go to the police with someone who can speak Lithuanian or Russian).
