The validity of the current Lithuanian Provisional Law on Citizenship was extended until July 1, 2010 in response to the failure of the Lithuanian unicameral Parliament, known as Seimas, to adopt a new Law on Citizenship by the end of 2009.

The current Law on Citizenship was to be effective until 1 January 2010, to be then replaced by a new Law on Citizenship. By the Republic of Lithuania Law on Amendment of Article 3 of the Law on Amending of the Law on Citizenship, of 1 December 2009, No. XI-508 (Official Gazette, 2009, 147-6551), the Seimas extended the validity of the current Provisional Law on Citizenship until 1 July 2010.
