Moroccan passport holders need a visa to enter Lithuania in 2026. You must apply for a Schengen visa at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate before you travel, as there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option for this route.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate | Moroccan passport holders need a Schengen visa before traveling to Lithuania. Apply at the Lithuanian embassy in Rabat or the nearest Schengen consulate. Processing takes up to 15 calendar days, so submit your application at least 3 weeks before departure.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your passport needs at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. The 3-month validity rule is strictly enforced at Lithuanian border control — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of confirmed departure from the Schengen area | Border officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. A bus or train ticket to a non-Schengen country also works. Airlines check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter for the entire stay | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a notarized invitation letter from your host in Lithuania. The booking must cover every night of your stay — border officers sometimes call hotels to verify. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash showing you can support yourself | Carry bank statements from the last 3 months showing at least €50 per day of your stay. Credit cards are accepted but border officers prefer to see cash or a recent bank balance. ATMs are widely available in Vilnius. | Recommended |
