Frequently asked questions

Yes, you need a visa. You must apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate before traveling. There is no visa-on-arrival or visa-free access for Pakistani passport holders.
Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks, but can be longer during peak seasons. Apply at least 6 weeks before your planned travel date to be safe.
You'll need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, proof of sufficient funds (bank statements), travel insurance, and a return ticket. Check the embassy website for the exact list.
No, the visa is not extendable for short-stay visits. You must leave before the visa expires. For longer stays, you would need a different type of visa or residence permit.
You will be denied entry and sent back on the next available flight. Airlines also check for visas before boarding, so you won't be allowed to fly without one.
It's not always required for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs can be high, and insurance covers emergencies. Some visa applications may require proof of insurance.
Lithuania uses the Euro (EUR). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's good to have some cash for small purchases. ATMs are available at the airport and in cities.
