Mongolian passport holders need a visa to enter Lithuania. You must apply at a Lithuanian embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option for tourism. Plan ahead, as processing can take a couple of weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate | You need a Schengen visa before traveling to Lithuania. Apply at the nearest Lithuanian embassy or consulate in your home country. Processing takes at least 15 calendar days — submit your application well in advance.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your passport needs at least 3 months of validity after your intended departure date from the Schengen zone. It must have been issued within the last 10 years. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Vilnius Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you'll leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Budget airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air also check this at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter for your entire stay | Border officers may ask for a confirmed hotel reservation or a notarized invitation letter from your host in Lithuania. The booking must cover every night of your stay. A hostel or Airbnb confirmation works too. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the trip | Lithuania requires at least €40 per day of stay in cash, bank statements, or a credit card. Have a recent bank statement or a letter from your employer ready. Immigration rarely asks, but consular officers check this during the visa interview. | 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.

A Lithuanian visa lets you travel to all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. But you must enter through Lithuania or make it your main destination.
