Strict passport validity

What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you travel, check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date and has at least one blank page. Print or download your return/onward ticket and have a bank statement or credit card handy just in case.
2
Arrive at Bonriki International Airport (Tarawa)
Most international flights land at Bonriki International Airport on Tarawa. After disembarking, follow the signs to immigration. There are usually two queues: one for residents/citizens and one for visitors. Join the visitor queue.

Present your passport and documents
Hand your passport to the immigration officer. If asked, show your onward ticket and any proof of funds. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp it. This usually takes just a few minutes.
4
Collect your bags and exit
After clearing immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There are no arrival declaration forms required for Kiribati, so you can walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare.

Frequently asked questions
No, you don't need a visa. Lithuanian passport holders can enter Kiribati visa-free for up to 90 days. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you would have to leave Kiribati and re-enter, but that's at the discretion of immigration. It's best to plan your visit within the 90-day limit.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Kiribati immigration. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before you travel.
No, Kiribati does not require an arrival declaration. You just go through immigration and customs after landing. There's no separate form to complete.
Kiribati uses the Australian dollar (AUD). While there are ATMs in Tarawa, they can be unreliable. It's wise to carry some cash in AUD for taxis, small shops, and other expenses.
No vaccinations are required for entry, but it's recommended to be up-to-date on routine vaccines. Check with your doctor about hepatitis A and typhoid, as these can be contracted through contaminated food or water.
Kiribati spans several time zones, but the capital Tarawa is on UTC+12. If you're flying in from Fiji or Australia, adjust your watch accordingly.
