Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Lithuania in 2026. Apply at a Lithuanian embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option. Processing can take several weeks, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your passport needs at least two blank pages for entry stamps. The 3-month validity rule applies to the entire Schengen zone — not just Lithuania. Airlines check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Border officers routinely ask for a return flight or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Budget airlines at Vilnius Airport check this strictly before issuing a boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a notarized invitation letter from your host in Lithuania. Immigration may ask for this at the border, especially if you're staying with friends or family. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Carry bank statements from the last 3 months or enough cash to cover €50 per day of your stay. Border officers rarely check this for visa holders, but it's safer to have proof ready. | Recommended |
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take 15–30 days, and appointments may be limited. Start your application at least 6 weeks before your trip to avoid delays.
Schengen area rules apply
A Lithuanian visa allows you to travel to all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Your total stay in the Schengen zone cannot exceed 90 days.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: valid passport (6+ months validity, 1 blank page), completed visa application form, return ticket, accommodation proof, travel insurance, bank statements, and visa fee. Make copies of everything.
2
Submit application at Lithuanian embassy
Book an appointment at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate responsible for your country (e.g., in Maputo or the nearest Schengen embassy if Lithuania has no local mission). Submit your application in person. Processing takes 15–30 days on average.
3
Wait for visa decision
The embassy will process your application and may call you for an interview. Once approved, you'll receive a visa sticker in your passport. Check the validity dates carefully.
4
Travel to Lithuania
At the border (airport in Vilnius, Kaunas, or Palanga), present your passport with the visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer clearly and calmly.

Frequently asked questions
No. Lithuania does not offer visa on arrival for Mozambican passport holders. You must obtain a Schengen visa from a Lithuanian embassy or consulate before traveling.
Standard processing takes 15 calendar days, but it can extend to 30 days or more during peak seasons. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before your planned travel.
The Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults, €40 for children aged 6–12, and free for children under 6. This fee is non-refundable.
Yes, immigration officers may ask for proof that you have enough money for your stay. Bank statements or a credit card with sufficient limit usually suffice. The guideline is about €50–€100 per day.
Schengen short-stay visas (type C) are not extendable except in exceptional circumstances like force majeure. Overstaying can result in fines and a ban from the Schengen area.
If you are transiting through a Lithuanian airport to a non-Schengen destination, you may need an airport transit visa. Check with the embassy if your itinerary requires one.
Lithuania does not have an embassy in Mozambique. You may need to apply at the nearest Lithuanian embassy in a neighboring country (e.g., South Africa) or through a consulate that handles Schengen visas. Contact the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for guidance.
