Women modeling agencies in Lithuania

This catalogue lists 17 agencies in Lithuania, including Supermodels, Deimantės modelių agentūra, Modilinos Model Management and Baltic Model Management. It includes every agency that represents models; we do not vouch for them, and each profile shows the facts we found, good and bad.

Published guide rates in Lithuania are roughly €40–90 an hour and €260–430 or more for a full shoot day, with an extra fee for image usage on advertising jobs. There is not much work locally, so most models combine it with studies, and those earning steadily usually work abroad. Rates, commission and what is left after tax are covered in detail in the jurgita.com guide "How much do models make".

Lithuania has no specific law capping commission, so it is set in your contract – usually around 20% of the fee. When you work abroad, the agency representing you there takes its commission and your Lithuanian mother agency normally receives about 10% out of that share, not on top of it. Advanced costs such as test shoots, travel and the model apartment are deducted separately and must appear on your statement.

Kids' boards work with very young children, while fashion agencies usually scout new faces from 14 to 16. For a child under 14 the parents sign the contract; a minor aged 14–18 signs personally but only with parental consent (Civil Code, Articles 2.7 and 2.8). Under an employment contract you can work independently from 16; a child aged 14–16 needs written consent from a parent, a medical certificate and, during the school year, the school's consent, and working hours are limited.

Most models work under an individual activity certificate registered with the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) and invoice the agency or client themselves. In 2026, income tax on annual profit up to €20,000 works out at 5%, rising gradually to 20% at €42,500. On top of that come social insurance (12.52%) and health insurance (6.98%) contributions on 90% of taxable profit. You can deduct 30% of income as expenses without receipts. Some clients use a copyright or service contract and withhold the tax themselves.

A mother agency is the agency in your home country that discovered you or first started working with you. It prepares you, introduces you to agencies abroad, negotiates terms and keeps track of how you are doing. Lithuanian citizens need no work permit in the EU; outside the EU the foreign agency usually handles the visa. It often prepays flights and the model apartment, but that is an advance later deducted from your earnings.

Warning signs: being asked to pay for registration, a place on the board or a course as a condition of representation; promises of work before anyone has seen plain photos and measurements; a 'casting' in a hotel room or private flat, or without parents; requests for lingerie photos; no company details or address; refusing to let you take the contract home. You can check the company in the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities, and if money was taken or you were threatened, go to the police.

You do not need professional photos to apply: digitals taken on a phone without make-up are enough. Once an agency takes you on, it usually arranges test shoots and comp cards, advances the cost and deducts it from your earnings later – and that should be written in your contract. If you book a test yourself, in Lithuania it costs from a few dozen to a few hundred euros. Paying for a portfolio as a condition of joining is a warning sign.

Most agencies accept applications online and hold open calls at their offices in Vilnius and Kaunas; some run annual scouting tours around other Lithuanian towns. How to prepare, what to wear and what to bring is covered in the jurgita.com guide "Model casting: how to prepare", and the open call of Supermodels, the agency that owns this site, is described in "Supermodels open call".
