Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Lithuania. Schengen border officers rarely enforce the 6-month rule for Taiwanese passports, but your airline might — check with them before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration at Vilnius Airport will ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — a flight reservation or bus ticket out of the Schengen zone works. Budget airlines check this before boarding too. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Keep a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host handy. Border officers rarely ask for it, but if they do, a simple booking.com printout or an Airbnb receipt covers you. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing at least €50 per day of your stay. Officers almost never check this for Taiwanese passport holders, but it's smart to have a screenshot on your phone. | Recommended |
Schengen Area rules apply
Your 90-day visa-free stay is for the entire Schengen Area, not just Lithuania. If you've already spent time in other Schengen countries (e.g., France, Germany) before arriving, that time counts toward your 90-day limit.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save photos of your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking on your phone and in cloud storage. If your documents are lost or stolen, these copies make replacement much easier.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before departure
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), return ticket, accommodation booking, and travel insurance. Save digital copies on your phone and print backups.
2
Arrive at Vilnius Airport (or other border)
At passport control, join the 'Non-EU' queue. Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly and briefly. Expect a stamp in your passport.
3
Enter Lithuania and start your stay
Once stamped, you're in. Your 90-day clock starts from that day. Keep your documents accessible in case of spot checks.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is limited to 90 days within any 180-day period. Extensions are not available for visa-free visitors. For longer stays, you'd need to apply for a national visa (D-type) before traveling.
No, for stays under 90 days, no registration is required. If you plan to stay longer (with a visa), you must register with the Migration Department within 15 days of arrival.
No, visa-free entry does not permit employment. For work, you need a work visa or residence permit. Business meetings and conferences are allowed as long as you're not paid by a Lithuanian company.
Overstaying can result in a fine (typically €50–€200), a ban from the Schengen Area for up to 5 years, and deportation. Always track your days carefully.
Yes, but the 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen Area, not just Lithuania. Days spent in other Schengen countries count toward your total.
No, if you're transiting through a Lithuanian airport and staying airside, no visa is needed. But if you need to enter the country (e.g., to switch airports), the visa-free rules apply.
No, it's not required by law for visa-free travelers. However, it's strongly recommended because medical costs in Lithuania can be high, and your home insurance may not cover you abroad.
