Schengen area rules apply
Your 90-day visa-free stay counts across all 27 Schengen countries. If you've already spent 30 days in France, you have 60 days left for Lithuania and the rest of Schengen. Use the EU's Schengen calculator to track your days.
Airlines check passport validity
Even if you think you can slip through, airlines will deny boarding if your passport has less than 6 months validity. They face fines for carrying passengers without proper documents. Check your passport now, not at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Vilnius Airport or other border point
You'll join the 'All Passports' queue at the airport. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer may ask your purpose of visit and accommodation details.
2
Present your passport for stamping
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your validity and may ask how long you plan to stay. Answer clearly. They'll stamp the entry date.
3
Show supporting documents if asked
If requested, show your return ticket, hotel booking, or proof of funds. Keep these accessible in your carry-on, not checked luggage.

Frequently asked questions
No. The 90-day visa-free stay is for tourism, business meetings, or family visits. Remote work for a foreign employer is technically not allowed under this status. If you plan to work, you need a specific work visa or a digital nomad visa (Lithuania offers one for remote workers).
Overstaying can result in a fine (typically €50–€200), a ban from re-entering the Schengen area for up to 5 years, and deportation. Always track your days carefully — use a Schengen calculator app.
If you stay longer than 90 days (which requires a visa or residence permit), you must register. For stays under 90 days, no registration is needed.
Yes. The 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen area, not just Lithuania. If you fly into Germany first, that counts toward your 90 days. Keep track of all Schengen entries.
No. Uruguayans get visa-free access, not a visa on arrival. You don't need to apply for anything before travel, but you must meet the entry conditions (valid passport, onward ticket).
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced.
Generally no for visa-free stays. Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances (e.g., medical emergency, force majeure). You'd need to apply at the Migration Department in Vilnius before your 90 days expire.
