Jordanian passport holders need a visa to enter Lithuania. You must apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option. Plan ahead, as processing can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate | Jordanian passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Lithuania. Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate in your country of residence — processing takes at least 15 calendar days. Submit your application no more than 6 months before your trip.Visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your passport must have at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. The 3-month validity rule applies to your entire stay in the Schengen zone — not just Lithuania. Airlines check this at check-in, so don't risk it. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Border officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. A bus or train ticket to a non-Schengen country works too. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask where you're staying for your entire trip. A hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a formal invitation from a host in Lithuania covers this. Keep a copy on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Lithuania expects visitors to have at least €40 per day of stay. A bank statement from the last 3 months, a credit card with a decent limit, or cash works. Officers rarely ask, but having it avoids hassle. | Recommended |
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take up to 45 days. Do not book non-refundable flights or accommodation until you have the visa in hand.
Schengen area rules apply
Lithuania is part of the Schengen zone. Your visa allows you to travel to any Schengen country for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Keep track of your days — overstaying can lead to fines or a ban.

Frequently asked questions
If you are transiting through a Lithuanian airport and staying airside (not passing through passport control), you generally do not need a visa. However, if you need to enter the Schengen area (e.g., to switch terminals or collect luggage), you will need a Schengen visa. Check with your airline before booking.
Standard processing is 15 calendar days from the date the embassy receives your complete application. It can take up to 45 days if additional checks are needed. Apply at least 4-6 weeks before your planned travel.
The Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults. Children aged 6-12 pay €40. Children under 6 are free. Some categories (e.g., students, researchers) may qualify for reduced fees. Payment is usually in local currency at the embassy's exchange rate.
Schengen short-stay visas are generally not extendable. In exceptional circumstances (e.g., force majeure, humanitarian reasons), you can apply for an extension at the Migration Department in Lithuania, but it is rarely granted for tourism.
If you hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa issued by another Schengen state, you can use it to enter Lithuania as long as it is still valid and covers the period of your stay. The visa must be for tourism or business, not a national visa.
No, there is no police registration requirement for short stays (up to 90 days). Your hotel or host will register your stay automatically. If staying in a private home, the host should notify the Migration Department within 3 working days.
You will receive a written explanation. You can appeal the decision within 30 days to the embassy or consulate that issued the rejection. Alternatively, you can reapply with additional supporting documents. Common reasons for rejection include insufficient funds, unclear travel plans, or doubts about returning.
