Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate in Pakistan | You need a Schengen visa before traveling to Lithuania. Apply at the Lithuanian embassy or authorized visa application center in Pakistan — processing takes at least 15 calendar days. Submit your application no more than 6 months before your trip.Visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen area | Your passport must have at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. The 3-month validity rule applies to the entire Schengen zone — not just Lithuania. Airlines check this before boarding, so verify your passport expiry before booking. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration officers at Vilnius Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Budget airlines also check this at check-in — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a notarized invitation letter from your host in Lithuania. Officers at border control may ask to see it, especially if you're staying more than a few days. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Carry bank statements from the last 3 months showing sufficient funds for your stay — around €50–€70 per day is a safe benchmark. Credit cards are widely accepted, but having some cash in euros helps. | Recommended |
Visa required — apply well in advance
Pakistan passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Lithuania. Do not book non-refundable flights or accommodation until your visa is approved. Processing can take weeks, so start the application process at least 6 weeks before your intended departure.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Lithuania, not from when you leave Pakistan. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a visa. You must apply at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate before traveling. There is no visa-on-arrival or visa-free access for Pakistani passport holders.
Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks, but can be longer during peak seasons. Apply at least 6 weeks before your planned travel date to be safe.
You'll need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, proof of sufficient funds (bank statements), travel insurance, and a return ticket. Check the embassy website for the exact list.
No, the visa is not extendable for short-stay visits. You must leave before the visa expires. For longer stays, you would need a different type of visa or residence permit.
You will be denied entry and sent back on the next available flight. Airlines also check for visas before boarding, so you won't be allowed to fly without one.
It's not always required for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs can be high, and insurance covers emergencies. Some visa applications may require proof of insurance.
Lithuania uses the Euro (EUR). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's good to have some cash for small purchases. ATMs are available at the airport and in cities.
