What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Vilnius Airport or Kaunas Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (non-EU queue). Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will check your passport, ask about the purpose and length of your stay, and stamp your passport. The process usually takes 1–2 minutes.
2
Present your documents if asked
If the officer asks, show your return ticket, accommodation booking, and proof of funds. Keep them in your hand luggage, not checked bags. Most Chilean travellers are waved through without extra questions.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs (green channel for most tourists). No customs declaration needed for personal items under €430.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can work remotely for a foreign employer while in Lithuania visa-free for up to 90 days. You cannot work for a Lithuanian company or provide services to local clients without a work permit.
You cannot extend the 90-day visa-free stay. You must leave the Schengen area for 90 days before returning. For longer stays (study, work, family reunification), apply for a national visa (D-type) at the Lithuanian embassy in Santiago before travel.
If you stay longer than 15 days, you must register your place of residence with the Migration Department within 15 working days of arrival. For stays under 15 days, no registration is needed.
Yes, there are no internal border checks within the Schengen Area. You can cross by bus, train, or car without showing your passport, but carry it with you — random checks happen near borders.
Overstaying is a violation. You may be fined (typically €50–€200), banned from re-entering the Schengen Area for up to 5 years, or both. The fine is decided by the Migration Department.
No, as a Chilean citizen you can transit through any Schengen airport without a visa, even if you stay in the international transit zone. If you need to enter Lithuania (e.g., to switch airports or stay overnight), the 90-day visa-free rule applies.
It is not mandatory at the border, but it is strongly recommended. If you need medical treatment, costs can be high. Some airlines may ask for proof of insurance before boarding.
