Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in Lithuania. As a Schengen member, Lithuania enforces the 90/180-day rule — you can stay 90 days within any 180-day period across all Schengen countries, not just Lithuania. | 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 leave the Schengen zone within your 90-day visa-free limit. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from your host with their address and contact details ready to show. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Lithuania can ask you to show you have enough funds — roughly €50–€70 per day of your stay. A bank statement or credit card with available limit works fine. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Border officers at Lithuanian entry points will check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you go — you will be turned away.
Schengen 90/180-day rule applies
Your 90-day visa-free stay covers all Schengen countries combined, not just Lithuania. Keep track of your days using the Schengen calculator app. Overstaying even by one day can cause problems.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before travel
Check your passport validity (6+ months), print or save your return ticket, accommodation booking, and travel insurance. Have them easily accessible on your phone or in a folder.
2
Arrive at a Lithuanian border checkpoint
You'll enter through Vilnius Airport, Kaunas Airport, or a land border from Poland or Latvia. Join the 'Non-EU' queue. Have your passport ready.
3
Present your passport and answer questions
The border officer will check your passport, may ask your purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They may also ask to see your return ticket or accommodation proof.
4
Receive entry stamp
If everything is in order, you'll get an entry stamp in your passport. This starts your 90-day Schengen clock. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it for exit.
