Lithuanian passport holders can travel to Norway visa-free for short stays. As of 2026, you can enter Norway without a visa for tourism, business, or family visits. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay in Norway | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid for the whole time you're in Norway. Schengen rules don't require 6 months beyond departure, but some airlines still enforce that — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration officers at Oslo, Bergen, and other Norwegian airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. This confirms you'll leave the Schengen zone within your 90-day visa-free limit. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from your host ready. Officers rarely check it for short stays, but they can ask — especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least 500 NOK per day (around €45) in cash or on a card you can access. Border officers can ask to see bank statements or a credit card if they suspect you can't support yourself. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the day you land in Norway, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding or entry.
No visa-free work allowed
You cannot take up any paid work during your visa-free stay. This includes remote work for a foreign company if you're physically in Norway. For work, apply for a permit before you travel.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before travel
Check your passport validity (6+ months from entry). Book your return/onward ticket and first night's accommodation. Print or save digital copies of all confirmations. Consider getting travel insurance and a local eSIM.
2
Arrive at a Norwegian airport or border
At Oslo Gardermoen or other airports, follow signs to 'Passport Control' for non-EU/EEA travellers. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer may ask about your trip purpose and length of stay.
3
Present your documents and answer questions
Hand over your passport. If asked, state your purpose (tourism, business, etc.) and how long you plan to stay. Show your return ticket and accommodation if requested. Answer clearly and honestly.
4
Receive entry stamp and proceed
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. You're then free to enter Norway. Keep your passport safe — you'll need it for hotel check-ins and any police checks.

Frequently asked questions
As a Lithuanian passport holder, you can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits. This is the standard Schengen Area rule.
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable for tourism or business. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a residence permit before your 90 days expire. Contact the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) for details.
Yes, you still need a ticket out of Norway or the Schengen Area. Immigration wants proof you'll leave before your 90 days are up. A flight to another Schengen country counts as onward travel.
You must have a passport valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires during your stay, you risk being denied boarding on your return flight or facing issues at immigration. Renew your passport before travel.
It's not mandatory for visa-free entry, but it's strongly recommended. Norway has high medical costs — a simple hospital visit can cost hundreds of euros. Insurance covers that and other emergencies like trip cancellation or lost luggage.
No, visa-free entry does not permit paid work. You can attend business meetings, conferences, or negotiate contracts, but you cannot take up employment. For work, you need a work permit before arriving.
Stay calm. Ask the officer for the reason in writing. You have the right to contact your embassy (Lithuanian Embassy in Oslo). They can provide consular assistance but cannot override immigration decisions. You'll be returned to your point of origin.
