Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date from Lithuania | Your Colombian passport needs at least 3 months of validity left after your planned exit from Lithuania. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Lithuania follows Schengen rules on this. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Vilnius Airport ask for a return or onward ticket to confirm you leave within 90 days. A bus ticket to Poland or a flight to London works. Without one, expect to be questioned — they can deny entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb reservation, or a letter from a friend in Lithuania ready. Border officers rarely ask for it, but if they do and you have nothing, they may refuse entry. Print it or have it on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Officers may ask how you will pay for your trip. Have a bank statement or credit card showing at least €50 per day of your stay. Cash is fine too — they just want to see you are not stranded. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Lithuania, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding or entry. Check your passport now.
90-day limit applies to all Schengen countries
The 90-day visa-free stay is for the entire Schengen area, not just Lithuania. If you've already spent time in France, Germany, or any other Schengen country, that time counts toward your 90-day limit. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Vilnius Airport (VNO) or Kaunas Airport (KUN)
You'll go through passport control. Join the 'All Passports' queue. Have your passport, boarding pass, and return ticket ready. The officer may ask your purpose of visit and accommodation address. Answer clearly — tourism, business, or visiting friends.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport. The officer will scan it and check the Schengen Information System (SIS). If everything is fine, they'll stamp your passport with the entry date. No visa sticker is needed.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no goods to declare. You're free to enter Lithuania.

Frequently asked questions
No. The 90-day visa-free stay is for tourism, business meetings, and short-term study. You cannot take up employment or freelance work without a work permit or a national visa (D visa). If you plan to work, apply for a Lithuanian work visa before traveling.
No, the visa-free stay cannot be extended. You must leave the Schengen area after 90 days. If you need to stay longer, apply for a national visa (D visa) or a residence permit before your 90 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from re-entering the Schengen area.
Overstaying is a violation of Schengen rules. You may be fined (typically €50–€200), deported, and banned from re-entering the Schengen area for up to 5 years. Always track your days carefully — use a travel app or calendar.
If you're transiting through a Lithuanian airport but not leaving the international transit area, you do not need a visa. However, if you need to enter Lithuania (e.g., to switch airports or stay overnight), you must meet the visa-free entry requirements.
Yes. The 90-day visa-free stay applies to the entire Schengen area (29 European countries). You can travel freely between them, but the total time spent in any Schengen country counts toward your 90-day limit. Keep track of your entry and exit dates.
Always carry your passport (valid 6+ months), return ticket, and proof of accommodation. It's also wise to have travel insurance details and enough funds for your stay (around €50–€100 per day). Immigration may ask to see any of these.
No. There is no visa on arrival. Colombian citizens can enter Lithuania visa-free for up to 90 days. If you need to stay longer or work, you must apply for a visa at a Lithuanian embassy or consulate before traveling.
