What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, insurance, bank statements, flight and hotel bookings, and the completed application form. Make copies of everything.
2
Submit your application
Submit the application in person at the Lithuanian embassy in Tashkent (or the embassy handling Lithuania in your region). You may need to book an appointment online first.
3
Attend the interview
At the appointment, you'll submit documents, pay the fee, and possibly answer a few questions about your trip. Biometrics (fingerprints) will be taken if you haven't given them in the last 5 years.

Wait for processing
Processing usually takes 15 calendar days, but can extend to 30–45 days during peak season. Track your application online if the embassy provides a tracking number.
5
Collect your passport
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check that all details (name, dates, validity) are correct before leaving the embassy.
6
Arrive in Lithuania
At Vilnius Airport or any border crossing, present your passport with the visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof — have them ready on your phone.
