Hello,

I would very much appreciate your help.
I am from Lithuania and I was a student 01/05/2003- 30/04/2004 (15h a week) and had a student visa till July 2004. Was I exempt from WRS.

Thank you very much,
Kind regards,
Monika

As far as I understand, you were extent to register, as you were student, so for the period you were student, for that period.

As Lithuania was not a part of the EU until 1st May 2004, I am not sure if the period listed above can be considered for the purpose of acquiring PR. You can't have exercised treaty rights if you did not have any rights to exercise.

Besides, after 1st May 2004, if you had any period as a student, you would be required to have CSI or a non-UK EHIC card for that period to qualify.
