Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Lithuania. Schengen border officers rarely enforce the 3-month validity rule for visa-free travelers, but airlines may check it at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration at Vilnius Airport regularly asks for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Budget airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb reservation, or a letter from your host ready. A printed copy or a screenshot on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Lithuania requires visa-free visitors to show at least €40 per day of stay. A bank statement, credit card, or cash works. In practice, officers rarely ask unless you look like you might overstay. | Recommended |
Schengen area rules apply
Your 90-day visa-free stay counts across all 27 Schengen countries. If you've already spent time in France or Spain earlier in the year, that time counts toward your 90-day limit. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
Overstaying can get you banned
Overstaying even a day can result in a fine (up to €300) and a re-entry ban to the Schengen area. Set a reminder on your phone for a few days before your 90 days are up.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Vilnius Airport or Kaunas Airport
You'll go through Schengen border control. Have your passport ready, and if asked, show your return ticket and accommodation booking. The officer may ask about your trip purpose and length of stay.
2
Get your passport stamped
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — if it's wrong, ask for a correction immediately.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. No additional forms or declarations are needed for standard tourist visits.
