How to Start OnlyFans in Lithuania

Is it legal?

Yes. Creating 18+ content as an adult is legal, and the platform pays out to Lithuanian accounts. Regular income is registered and declared with VMI.

Step 1. Verification

Passport, ID card or leidimas gyventi (residence permit) + selfie, 1–3 days. Your data goes to compliance only: how it works.

Step 2. Legal setup: individuali veikla

• The application for individuali veikla pagal pažymą is filed online with VMI — the certificate arrives almost immediately, free of charge;
• Pick a neutral activity (digital content creation / online services);
• EU citizens and residence permit holders can register with no extra permits.

Step 3. Taxes

• GPM 5–15% on profit (the rate grows with annual profit);
• Expenses: actuals with receipts OR a flat 30% with no receipts — for a model with minimal costs the flat option is almost always better and simpler;
• Sodra contributions (social + health) on part of the income — build them into your math;
• The annual declaration is filed online; the "set aside 25–30%" rule — from the general guide.

Payouts

SEPA to a Lithuanian account (including Revolut LT — many models live right inside it), 3–5 business days after escrow. Details — on withdrawing money.

Privacy in Lithuania

• Geo-block Lithuania — the country is small and communities are tight: a mandatory first step;
• Add a block on your home country as well;
• A persona and separate accounts — the full protocol.

Common mistakes when starting in Lithuania

• Regular incoming transfers from Fenix to a personal account with no certificate — VMI cross-checks bank data;
• Collecting receipts for €50 of expenses instead of taking the flat 30%;
• An open page in a country where "everyone knows everyone".

FAQ

I'm a foreigner with a residence permit in Lithuania — can I?

Yes, a residence permit gives you the right to individuali veikla. Verification works with your home country's passport or your Lithuanian document.

Individuali veikla or an MB (small partnership)?

For a solo model — veikla: simpler and cheaper. An MB makes sense for teams and larger turnover — that's already a conversation with an accountant.
