Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate | Apply for a Schengen visa at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Processing takes at least 15 calendar days — apply well before your travel date. You'll need a completed application form, passport photos, travel insurance, and proof of accommodation and funds.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your Indonesian passport must have at least two blank pages for entry stamps. The 3-month validity rule is strictly enforced at Lithuanian border control — airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Vilnius Airport will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Budget airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a notarized invitation letter from a host in Lithuania ready. Border officers may ask to see it during passport control. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry bank statements or a credit card showing sufficient funds — around €50–70 per day of your stay is a safe benchmark. Immigration may ask for this if you look short on cash. | Recommended |
Transit visa required
Indonesian passport holders need an airport transit visa even if you're just changing planes in Lithuania and staying airside. Exceptions apply if you hold a valid Schengen visa or a visa for the UK, Ireland, or the US.
Overstay penalties are steep
Overstaying your visa in Lithuania costs €30–100 per day and can lead to deportation. A history of overstays in the Schengen area is one of the top reasons for future visa denials.
