Ready-Made Crypto Company Lithuania — FCIS VASP/CASP Entity 2026

Ready-Made Crypto Company Lithuania — Pre-Licensed FCIS Entity

Buy a ready-made Lithuanian crypto company with an existing FCIS VASP registration and be operational within 2–4 weeks. Lithuania is the EU's most prolific VASP licensing jurisdiction — home to over 1,000 registered crypto entities — and has built the deepest fintech regulatory infrastructure in the Baltic region. Our Lithuanian ready-made entities are clean UAB (private limited company) structures with no trading history, no existing clients, and no liabilities. Full package included: FCIS registration certificate, AML/KYC policy, compliance manual, MLRO documentation, and 3 months post-transfer support. The FCIS registration remains valid under MiCA transitional provisions until 1 July 2026. From €25,000.

Lithuania's FCIS VASP Regulatory Framework

Lithuania implemented its VASP registration framework under the Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Pinigų plovimo ir teroristų finansavimo prevencijos įstatymas), which transposes the EU's 5th and 6th AML Directives. Under this law, companies providing virtual currency exchange services or virtual currency deposit (custody) services must register with the FCIS (Financial Crime Investigation Service — Finansinių nusikaltimų tyrimo tarnyba, FNTT) before commencing operations.

Lithuania's crypto regulatory ecosystem is uniquely deep. With over 1,000 FCIS-registered VASP entities, Lithuania has more licensed crypto companies than any other EU member state. This reflects a deliberate national strategy: the Lithuanian government and Bank of Lithuania actively positioned Vilnius as the Baltic fintech hub, creating business-friendly licensing frameworks that attracted international crypto and fintech companies. Major entities licensed in Lithuania include Revolut (EU banking license from Bank of Lithuania), Contis, and dozens of the EU's largest regulated payment institutions and crypto service providers.

The Lithuanian regulatory infrastructure has matured considerably since the early FCIS registration era. Banks, payment processors, and professional service providers in Vilnius have well-established frameworks for working with FCIS-registered crypto companies — making Lithuania one of the most operationally convenient EU jurisdictions for crypto businesses.

FCIS → Bank of Lithuania: The MiCA Switch

FCIS VASP registrations are valid until 1 July 2026. After that, MiCA CASP authorization from the Bank of Lithuania (Lithuania's MiCA National Competent Authority) is required — a different regulator from FCIS. Our post-transfer support includes consultation on the Bank of Lithuania CASP application. See: Lithuania CASP License.

Lithuania Ready-Made Advantages

Lithuania offers a combination of competitive pricing, deep regulatory ecosystem, and strong EU fintech credibility that makes it one of the most attractive jurisdictions for ready-made crypto company acquisition.

EU's Largest Crypto Licensing Ecosystem

With 1,000+ FCIS-registered VASP entities, Lithuania has more licensed crypto companies than any other EU member state. This scale means: compliance professionals experienced in Lithuanian crypto regulation are plentiful; banks and payment service providers have mature frameworks for onboarding FCIS-registered entities; and the regulatory infrastructure around crypto operations — legal firms, accounting firms, compliance specialists — is the deepest in the Baltic region.

Vilnius — EU Fintech Capital

Vilnius hosts the EU headquarters of Revolut (banking), Contis, Paysera, and dozens of major EU-regulated payment and crypto institutions. The Bank of Lithuania (Lietuvos bankas) runs one of the EU's most innovative regulatory sandbox programs and has positioned Lithuania as the premier destination for regulated EU fintech operations. This institutional depth translates into better banking relationships, better professional service quality, and better regulatory understanding for companies operating from a Lithuanian FCIS-registered entity.

Competitive Pricing

Lithuanian FCIS VASP registrations are among the lowest-cost ready-made options in the EU — from €25,000 — reflecting both the streamlined FCIS registration process and the competitive market for Lithuanian shelf entities. Operating costs in Vilnius are lower than in Western European capitals while remaining comparable to Tallinn. Lithuania's corporate income tax rate of 15% (reduced rates available for small businesses) is competitive within the Baltic region.

Bank of Lithuania as MiCA NCA

For the MiCA CASP transition, Lithuanian entities apply to the Bank of Lithuania — one of the EU's most experienced and business-friendly financial regulators for fintech and crypto. The Bank of Lithuania has explicitly signaled its commitment to processing MiCA CASP authorizations efficiently and is well-resourced for the transition. Companies with existing FCIS registrations are familiar to the Lithuanian regulatory ecosystem, which reduces friction in the CASP transition application.

Lithuania Ready-Made Company FAQ

How many licensed crypto companies are in Lithuania?

Lithuania has registered more than 1,000 VASP entities with FCIS — making it the EU's most prolific VASP licensing jurisdiction by entity count. This large ecosystem reflects Lithuania's deliberate fintech hub strategy: the Bank of Lithuania and FCIS created a business-friendly environment that attracted hundreds of international crypto and fintech companies, including major players such as Revolut (EU banking license from the Bank of Lithuania). The depth of Lithuania's regulated crypto ecosystem provides a well-developed infrastructure of compliance professionals, banking relationships, and fintech service providers that newly acquired UAB entities can leverage immediately.

What FCIS license does the Lithuanian company hold?

The Lithuanian ready-made company holds a VASP registration issued by FCIS (Financial Crime Investigation Service — Finansinių nusikaltimų tyrimo tarnyba, FNTT). The registration covers the provision of virtual currency exchange services and/or virtual currency deposit (custody) services under Lithuania's Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. Under MiCA transitional provisions (Article 143), FCIS VASP registrations remain valid until 1 July 2026, after which full MiCA CASP authorization from the Bank of Lithuania — Lithuania's designated MiCA National Competent Authority — is required.

What is included in the Lithuanian ready-made package?

The Lithuanian ready-made package includes: UAB incorporation documents (articles of association, Register of Legal Entities extract, company code, VAT number), FCIS VASP registration certificate and registry entry confirmation, AML/KYC policy compliant with Lithuania's AML Law, compliance manual, MLRO appointment documentation, Share Purchase Agreement preparation and notarization, Register of Legal Entities ownership update filing, FCIS ownership change notification filing, bank account introduction letters, and 3 months of post-transfer compliance support including Bank of Lithuania MiCA CASP transition application assistance.

How does ownership transfer notification work with FCIS?

Under Lithuanian law, a change of beneficial ownership in an FCIS-registered VASP entity must be notified to FCIS. The notification must include the identity of the new beneficial owners, updated Register of Legal Entities extract, and fit and proper declarations for new directors and key function holders — CVs, criminal record certificates (apostilled where required), and financial integrity declarations. FCIS reviews the notification and updates its internal records. The existing VASP registration remains valid during the notification review period. Our Vilnius office manages the complete FCIS notification process from filing to acknowledgment.

Is the Lithuanian VASP license valid under MiCA transition?

Yes — Lithuanian FCIS VASP registrations remain valid under MiCA Article 143 transitional provisions until 1 July 2026. After this date, the entity must hold a full MiCA CASP authorization from the Bank of Lithuania — Lithuania's designated MiCA NCA (separate from FCIS which issued the original VASP registration). Our 3-month post-transfer support includes initial consultation on the Bank of Lithuania CASP transition application. For the full CASP authorization guide, see: Lithuania CASP License Application.

How does ready-made compare to a fresh Lithuanian application?

A fresh FCIS VASP registration in Lithuania takes 4–8 weeks and costs €6,000–€12,000 in professional fees — one of the more streamlined fresh application processes in the EU, reflecting Lithuania's 1,000+ entity ecosystem and FCIS's experience processing registrations. A Lithuanian ready-made company transfers in 2–4 weeks for €25,000–€45,000 all-in. For tight timelines or where bank account establishment speed is critical (existing banking relationships may transfer more smoothly with a ready-made entity), the ready-made option is preferred. Both paths require the same Bank of Lithuania MiCA CASP transition before 1 July 2026. See: Lithuania CASP License Application.

Lithuania — The EU's Fintech Capital

Vilnius has established itself as one of Europe's premier fintech regulatory hubs. The Bank of Lithuania's sandbox program, its fast licensing track for electronic money institutions, and its proactive engagement with the crypto and fintech industry have attracted hundreds of international companies to Lithuania. The result is a dense ecosystem of regulated fintechs, payment institutions, crypto service providers, and their associated professional services infrastructure — all based in or operating through Vilnius.

For a Lithuanian UAB with FCIS registration, the practical benefits of this ecosystem are immediate: banks in Vilnius (including Paysera, Revolut's EU bank, and branches of major Nordic institutions) have mature frameworks for onboarding FCIS-registered crypto companies. Compliance professionals, AML consultants, and legal firms in Vilnius are experienced in Lithuanian crypto regulatory requirements. And the Bank of Lithuania's reputation as a business-friendly but substantive regulator gives Lithuanian-licensed entities strong credibility across the EU financial services market.

Our Vilnius office at Konstitucijos pr. 21A is at the heart of this ecosystem. We have direct working relationships with FCIS licensing officers, Bank of Lithuania supervisory staff, and the leading Lithuanian compliance and banking partners for crypto businesses.
