The Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania[1] (Chinese: 駐立陶宛台灣代表處; Lithuanian: Taivano atstovybė Lietuvoje) is the representative office of Taiwan responsible for the development of relations with Lithuania. As Lithuania has not established official diplomatic relations with Taiwan, the mission does not have diplomatic status but can be considered as a de facto embassy.[2] It is Taiwan's first and only representative office with "Taiwan" instead of "Taipei" in its title in a European country without official relations with Taiwan, and the first such office in the world that uses the adjective "Taiwanese".
