Can we do static linking with third-party librarires using LGPL licence?

[Awareness]

We can't do static linking with Qt librarires if we are using LGPL licence,if I understood right.What about doing static linking with third-party librarires using LGPL licence?

Also,I heard that all Qt commercial licenses are perpetual,and they include first 12 months of maintenance and support.So,if we buy a commercial licence now,can we freely(without paying additional money) upgrade to commercial Qt 6.0 when it becomes available?

Of course you can - but it has implications on what you have to do with your own code. The LGPL and its effects is explained on many pages in the Web - you won't get anything better by asking here.
LPGPL is LGPL no matter if it is Qt or any other 3rd party library, but the Qt commercial license is specific - if you want to know more about I recommend to read it.

But as soon as you are using any other 3rd party library that is LGPL you probably don't want to link your application statically and I don't see many reasons for buying a commercial license.

If the current trend continues then Qt 6.0 will be available around 2020 or later so you shouldn't really bother your mind with that problem right now.
