Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Lithuania. Schengen rules don't require 6 months beyond departure, but your airline might — check with them before you fly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Lithuanian border checkpoints routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus booking out of the Schengen zone ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number covers this. I've been asked for it at Vilnius Airport twice. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Lithuania requires you to have at least €40 per day of your stay. A bank statement or credit card with available limit works. They rarely check it, but have it ready. | Recommended |
90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen area
Your 90 visa-free days are shared across all 27 Schengen countries (including Lithuania). Once you've used 90 days in any combination, you must leave the Schengen zone for 90 days before returning.
No registration needed for short stays
If you stay less than 90 days, you don't need to register with local authorities. Just enter and enjoy your trip.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Vilnius Airport (or other Schengen entry point)
You'll go through Schengen border control. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking ready. The officer may ask about your travel plans and funds. The queue is usually 10–20 minutes.
2
Present your passport for stamping
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. This stamp is your proof of legal entry. Keep it safe — you'll need it when leaving.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. No additional forms or declarations are needed for standard tourist visits.
