Malaysian passport holders can enter Lithuania visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This covers tourism, business meetings, and short family visits. As of 2026, no visa is needed for stays under 90 days.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date from Lithuania | Your passport needs at least 3 months of validity after your planned exit from Lithuania. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Since Lithuania is in Schengen, the 90-day limit applies across all 27 Schengen countries combined, not just Lithuania. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Lithuanian border control routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Budget airlines flying into Vilnius or Kaunas are especially strict about checking this before they issue your boarding pass. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying for your first night. A hotel confirmation email or a letter from a friend in Lithuania with their address works. If you are couchsurfing, have the host's contact details written down. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Lithuanian immigration can ask for proof you have at least €40 per day of your stay. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. They rarely ask, but if you look tired or uncertain, they might. | Recommended |
90-day limit applies to all Schengen countries
Your 90-day visa-free stay is for the entire Schengen Area, not just Lithuania. If you've already spent time in France, Germany, or any other Schengen country, that counts toward your 90-day limit. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
No arrival declaration needed
Unlike some other EU countries, Lithuania does not require Malaysian passport holders to fill out an arrival declaration or register online before travel. Just show up with your passport and onward ticket.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Vilnius Airport (or other Schengen entry point)
You'll join the 'All Passports' queue at passport control. Have your passport ready, and if asked, state your purpose (tourism, business). The officer may ask for your return ticket or accommodation — have them accessible on your phone.
2
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry. This stamp is your proof of legal entry. Keep it safe — you'll need it when leaving.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim (if any), then customs. No additional forms or declarations needed for standard tourist visits.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is limited to 90 days within any 180-day period. For longer stays (e.g., work, study, family reunion), you must apply for a national visa (D-type) at the Lithuanian embassy in Kuala Lumpur before travel. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, or a re-entry ban.
If you stay more than 90 days (which requires a visa), you must register your residence with the Migration Department within 30 days. For visa-free stays under 90 days, no registration is needed.
Yes. Lithuania is part of the Schengen Area. You can enter via any Schengen country (e.g., Germany, Poland, Finland) and then travel to Lithuania. The 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen zone, not just Lithuania.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before travel. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced for visa-free entries.
No, it's not mandatory for visa-free entry. However, it's strongly recommended. If you need medical care, costs can be high. Some airlines may ask for proof of insurance at check-in, though this is rare.
No. The visa-free regime is for tourism, business meetings, and short family visits only. Remote work for a foreign employer is technically not allowed without a work permit or a digital nomad visa. Lithuania does offer a Digital Nomad Visa (D-type) for longer stays — check with the embassy.
Overstaying is a violation of Schengen rules. You may be fined (typically €100–€500), deported, and banned from re-entering the Schengen Area for up to 5 years. Always track your days carefully.
