Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian passport only needs to be valid for the length of your stay in the Bahamas. Airlines sometimes enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Bahamas | Immigration officers at Nassau and Freeport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Immigration may ask how you'll cover your expenses — a quick glance at your phone usually suffices. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the checklist
Even though entry is visa-free, immigration officers can still deny entry if you can't show a return ticket or accommodation. Always carry printed or digital copies of your booking confirmations.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your entry date, you will be denied boarding. No exceptions.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) or other entry point
You'll join the queue for non-Bahamian passport holders. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and note your allowed stay (usually 90 days). The process takes 5–10 minutes if you have all documents ready.
2
Present documents at immigration counter
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer may ask how long you're staying and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay.
3
Collect baggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your luggage from the carousel. Customs is usually straightforward — declare any goods over the duty-free limit. If you have nothing to declare, walk through the green channel.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and re-enter, but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits. For stays over 90 days, apply for a visa or permit before travel.
No, Lithuanian passport holders do not need a visa for transit. You can stay in the airport transit area without a visa. If you need to leave the airport or stay overnight, you'll need to meet the standard entry requirements (valid passport, onward ticket).
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Bahamian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. There are no exceptions for short trips.
No, there is no official requirement to show proof of funds for Lithuanian citizens. However, if you look like you might work illegally or overstay, an officer may ask. Having a credit card or some cash (USD or BSD) is sensible.
The visa-free entry is for tourism and business (meetings, conferences). Remote work for a foreign employer is technically not allowed, but in practice it's rarely checked. For long-term remote work, consider the Bahamas Digital Nomad Visa (BEATS program) which allows stays up to 12 months.
No routine vaccinations are required for entry. However, check if you're up to date on routine shots (MMR, DTP, polio). Yellow fever vaccine is required if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk — not relevant for Lithuania.
The Bahamian dollar (BSD) is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, and USD is widely accepted everywhere. You can use US dollars for all transactions. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels and larger restaurants, but smaller shops and taxis prefer cash.
