Luxembourg passport holders can enter Lithuania visa-free for stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This has been the case since Lithuania joined the Schengen Area in 2007. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date and you have a return or onward ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Luxembourg passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in Lithuania. Since Lithuania is in the Schengen zone, the 90/180-day rule applies across all Schengen countries — not just Lithuania. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen zone | Immigration officers at Lithuanian border crossings routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy showing your departure from the Schengen area within 90 days. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from your host in Lithuania. Border officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Lithuania doesn't enforce a fixed amount, but officers may ask to see you have enough for accommodation and daily expenses — roughly €50–€100 per day. | Recommended |
Schengen zone rules apply
Lithuania is part of the Schengen Area. Your 90-day allowance counts across all Schengen countries, not just Lithuania. Keep track of your days with the Schengen calculator app.
Border checks possible
Though Lithuania is in Schengen, random border checks can happen at land borders with Poland, Latvia, and Belarus. Always carry your passport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Lithuanian border
At Vilnius Airport or any land border, join the 'All Passports' queue. Have your passport ready.
2
Present your passport
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask about the purpose of your visit, how long you're staying, and where you're staying. Answer honestly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp
If everything is in order, the officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. That stamp starts your 90-day Schengen clock.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim (if you checked bags) and then through customs. Green channel if you have nothing to declare.
