Ukrainians will be able to exchange hryvnia cash in Lithuania
Table of contents
Since October 10, all refugees from Ukraine in Lithuania have had the opportunity to easily exchange their cash in hryvnias for euros.
The National Bank of Ukraine and the Bank of Lithuania provided such an opportunity by signing an agreement on August 31, 2022. It provides that any citizen of Ukraine with the status of a refugee can carry out exchange operations in the branches of Šiaulių bankas located in Vilnius, Kaunas, Šiauliai, Klaipeda and Telšiai.
But there are certain limitations:
• limit on the amount of exchange - no more than 10 thousand hryvnias
• only banknotes from 100 to 1000 hryvnias
• damaged or defective banknotes cannot be exchanged for euros
• the exchange rate is set by the NBU (published weekly on the website of the Bank of Lithuania)
There is also a fee for the operation - 2.5 euros. Consider this when you plan to make an exchange.
