List of Portuguese ambassadors in Lithuania

The Portuguese embassy in Copenhagen, of which Lithuania belongs to the administrative district

The list of Portuguese ambassadors in Lithuania lists the ambassadors of the Republic of Portugal in Lithuania . The two states entered into diplomatic relations in 1923, which were renewed in 1991. In the period from the incorporation of Lithuania into the Soviet Union in 1940 to the renewed restoration of Lithuania's independence in 1990, the relationship was determined by Portuguese-Soviet relations .

Portugal did not set up its own embassy in Lithuania at first; the country belonged to the administrative district of the Portuguese ambassador in the Danish capital Copenhagen , who double-accredited himself for this in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius . In 2005, Portugal opened its own embassy in Vilnius, which was closed again in 2012 as part of Portugal's extensive austerity measures after the deep economic crisis there from 2010. Since then, the Portuguese representative in Denmark has been responsible for Lithuania again (as of 2019).

Portugal has an honorary consulate in Vilnius .
