Entry/Exit Requirements
"A valid passport is required to enter Lithuania. As there
are no direct flights from the U.S. to Lithuania, U.S. citizens
should be aware of passport validity requirements in transit countries.
American citizens do not need a visa to travel to Lithuania for
business or pleasure for up to 90 days. That 90-day period begins
with entry to any of the “Schengen Group” countries:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain,
and Sweden. Multiple visits to Schengen countries may not exceed
90 days in any 6 month period. Travelers remaining in Lithuania
for more than 90 days within any six-month period must apply for
temporary residency. Lithuanian authorities recommend applying or
a residency permit through a Lithuanian embassy or consulate before
initial entry into Lithuania, as processing times can run beyond
90 days. All foreigners of non-European Union countries seeking
entry into Lithuania must carry proof of a medical insurance policy
contracted for payment of all costs of hospitalization and medical
treatment in Lithuania. Visitors unable to demonstrate sufficient
proof of medical insurance must purchase short-term insurance at
the border from a Lithuanian provider for roughly $1.00 per day.
The number of days will be calculated from the day of entry until
the date on the return ticket.
Note: Although European Union regulations require that non-EU visitors
obtain a stamp in their passport upon initial entry to a Schengen
country, many borders are not staffed with officers carrying out
this function. If an American citizen wishes to ensure that his
or her entry is properly documented, it may be necessary to request
a stamp at an official point of entry. Under local law, travelers
without a stamp in their passport may be questioned and asked to
document the length of their stay in Schengen countries at the time
of departure or at any other point during their visit, and could
face possible fines or other repercussions if unable to do so."
