The complete newcomer route: check whether you can work, prepare the right documents, choose Wolt, Bolt Food or both, equip yourself, complete your first delivery and measure what the shift actually left you.
Independent guide. We do not collect identity documents and do not decide whether a platform accepts an application. Information checked 8 September 2026.
Requirements change. Use this as a preparation checklist and confirm the final list in the official application.
Citizenship, residence and work rights are separate questions. If you are not sure, check with the Migration Department before paying for equipment or vehicle rental. Platform approval does not replace your legal responsibility.
Wolt's current Lithuania instructions list individual activity code 532000 for a natural person. Register and manage it through Mano VMI. Other contract or fleet arrangements can have different responsibilities.
The platform may ask for identity, residence/work-right and bank-account proof. Names and numbers must match the contract data. Submit only the files requested in the official app.
Gross platform income is not take-home pay. Keep income and allowable-expense records and ask VMI or a qualified accountant which taxes and declarations apply to you. This site does not replace personal tax advice.
Applications and active work are separate. You can apply to both and decide later how to use them. Wolt's current applicant guide explicitly says an independent contractor may work for other delivery companies. Every accepted task still has to be completed safely and properly.
Charged phone, reliable data, notifications enabled, charging cable and power bank. Test screen brightness, sound and navigation before going online.
Use a bag accepted by the platform and keep hot and cold items separated when required. Do not buy equipment before understanding activation conditions.
Working lights, reflective elements, helmet, rain layer, gloves and water. No order price justifies unsafe riding or driving.
An e-bike can reduce fatigue; a car adds fuel, parking and return-distance costs. Compare the whole shift, not only travel speed.
Confirm account activation, deposit, repair responsibility, battery capacity and cancellation terms before signing a monthly rental.
Carry a lock, basic repair kit and emergency contact method. Know how you will finish an accepted delivery if a battery, tyre or phone fails.
Check weather, battery, bag, lights, data and platform status. Start in an area you know.
Read only what is visible: pickup, shown route or time, fee and where the delivery appears to end. Floor, weight or access may become clear only later.
Park legally, identify yourself, verify the order identifier and keep food secure. Record excessive waiting accurately.
Follow visible instructions, protect customer data and contact Support when the address, pin or hand-off cannot be completed safely.
Note tips, unusual waiting, access difficulty, unpaid repositioning and any relevant support conversation.
Go offline deliberately, check that no task remains active, record expenses and calculate the complete session.
This calculator does not estimate taxes or promise earnings. It turns your own completed shift into comparable figures.
“After direct costs” still is not final taxable profit. Tax, depreciation and long-term vehicle costs depend on your situation.
Keep session start and end, all income, tips, total kilometres, waiting and direct expenses. Your first month should reveal which hours, areas and order types work for you.
A screenshot, GPS point or timestamp is a fact. A conclusion about a platform requires more evidence. Couriers.lt is designed around that distinction.
Customer names, exact addresses and access codes are not public courier intelligence. Store only what has a clear purpose and never expose customers to other couriers.
One excellent or terrible order does not define a strategy. Compare complete, clearly labelled time windows and keep uncertainty visible.
Couriers.lt can connect newcomers with bicycle and e-bike rental, repair, delivery bags, safety equipment, insurance and accounting. A paid placement will always be marked as advertising or a partner offer; payment will not turn an unsuitable service into a recommendation.
Compare deposit, weekly or monthly price, included repairs, battery capacity, replacement vehicle and cancellation terms.
Find providers by city, opening hours, emergency repair availability and whether they service courier e-bikes.
List services that understand individual courier activity. Personal tax or insurance suitability still has to be checked for the courier's own case.
A few phrases reduce confusion and show respect. Current Wolt Lithuania guidance also points couriers to the Lithuanian-language requirement for direct services.
We use official sources for eligibility and registration, then add clearly labelled field experience. Platform rules can change; the official application controls your case.
