Lithuania Schengen visa cost

The cost of obtaining a Lithuania Schengen visa includes the following:

• expenses for document preparation, such as photo cost; cost of document translation, if this is needed; a notary fee for consent of the parental authority or legal guardian for minors travelling alone or with one parent;
• medical insurance cost — expenses depend on the chosen insurance company;
• visa fee — €80, €40, €35, or none, depending on the country and category of an applicant;
• service fee if applying to a visa centre — €15.90 if there is a Lithuanian visa authority in the country, and €30 if there is none.

Visa and service fees are not refundable even if the application has been rejected.

Some categories of foreigners are free of visa fees. Among them are:

• children under six years;
• students, postgraduates, and accompanying teachers who are travelling for study or educational training;
• researchers travelling to carry out scientific research or participate in a scientific seminar or conference;
• representatives of non-profit organisations over 25 participating in seminars, conferences, sports, cultural or educational events organised by non-profit organisations.

Applications for a Lithuania Schengen visa are submitted no more than 6 months prior to the intended visit. Seafarers performing their duties are allowed to apply earlier but no more than 9 months before their trip to Lithuania.

Define the primary purpose of your visit and find out what documents to prepare and what visa type to apply for.

Check the official website of a Lithuanian visa authority in your country to learn if you should submit an application to the Embassy or Consulate directly or apply via an approved visa centre. Check the location and working hours of the necessary organisation.

Gather all documents as requested by the Lithuanian visa authority in your country. Make a new photo of yourself. Purchase health insurance. Fill in the visa application form.

Make an appointment with your Lithuanian visa authority or visa centre.

At this step, you submit your international passport and a pack of supporting documents, pay visa and service fees, and undergo fingerprinting.

Every applicant has to apply in person. If you obtain visas for children of any age, they should also be present at the submission. 

A Lithuanian visa authority reviews your application and makes a decision. Usually, this process takes about 15 calendar days, but this period can be extended for up to a maximum of 45 days in cases when further scrutiny of the application is needed.

After the decision on your application is made, you can pick up your documents. If you are refused, you will receive your passport and a standard refusal form stating the reasons for the decision.

Although the Lithuania visa rejection rate has been low over the years, a chance of getting a refusal still exists. If your application has been rejected and you believe that this might be caused by misunderstanding or incorrect information, you can appeal the decision.

An appeal should be written in Lithuanian and sent to the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court within 14 days from the date you received the decision. All the documents submitted together with the appeal should have a notarised translation into Lithuanian. You will also have to pay a stamp duty of €30 or €22.5 if you submit the appeal electronically.

If your appeal was rejected or you choose not to appeal, you can apply for a visa once again. To reduce the risk of rejection, make sure to check that your application is correct:

• you have not stayed on the Schengen Area territory for 90 days during the current 180-day period;
• you provided a valid travel document that corresponds to the Consulate’s requirements and has no signs of damage;
• you provided sufficient justifications for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay;
• you provided proof of sufficient means of subsistence and of your intention to leave the Schengen Area before the expiry of the visa you applied for;
• all the documents you provided are authentic and trustworthy.

To travel visa-free to Lithuania and the rest of Europe, a person can obtain a residence permit in one of the EU countries. One of the options available to non-EU citizens is to get a residence permit by investment .

Some of the EU countries offering a residence permit by investment, or a so-called “golden visa”, are Greece, Spain, and Portugal.

Under the Greece Golden Visa program, foreigners are granted a residence permit for investment of at least €250,000. Investment options include purchasing real estate, 10-year renting of a hotel in a tourist resort complex, purchasing a land plot for construction or farming, opening a deposit in a Greek bank, and purchasing shares and corporate or government bonds.

To get a Portugal residence permit, an applicant has to invest €250,000 or more and choose one of the five options: purchasing investment fund units, supporting arts or research activities, setting up a company, or investing in a business.

A Spain residence permit is granted for investment of at least €500,000 in real estate, shares of Spanish companies, investment fund units, or government bonds, or for opening a deposit in a Spanish bank.

Entry requirements

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of the current rules for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Lithuania set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the  Lithuanian Embassy in the UK .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Lithuania.

Passport validity requirements

Lithuania follows Schengen area rules . Your passport must: 

• have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
• have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.  

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Visa requirements

You can travel without a visa to the Schengen area, which includes Lithuania, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This applies if you travel: 

• as a tourist
• to visit family or friends
• to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events
• for short-term studies or training

The requirements for working in Lithuania are different.  

If you’re travelling to other Schengen countries as well, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day visa-free limit. Visits to Schengen countries in the 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.

Make sure you get your passport stamped on entry and exit.

If you’re a visitor, border guards will look at your entry and exit stamps to check you have not overstayed the 90-day visa-free limit for the Schengen area. 

If your passport is missing a stamp, show evidence of when and where you entered or left the Schengen area (for example, boarding passes or tickets) and ask the border guards to add the date and location in your passport. 

At Lithuanian border control, you may need to:

• show proof of your accommodation, for example, a hotel booking confirmation or proof of address for a second home
• show proof of your travel insurance
• show a return or onward ticket
• prove that you have enough money for your stay – the amount varies depending on your accommodation

Staying longer than 90 days in a 180-day period

To stay longer, you must meet the Lithuanian government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa or permit you need with the  Lithuanian Embassy in the UK  .

If you stay in Lithuania with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

Read about  passport stamping if you live in Lithuania . 

Arriving from Belarus, Ukraine or Russia 

If you arrive in Lithuania from Belarus, Ukraine or Russia, including the Kaliningrad Oblast, and need help, call +370 5246 2900 and select ‘calling about an emergency involving a British national’. You can also  contact  FCDO  online .

British nationals can travel to Lithuania from Belarus, Russia or Ukraine by car or bus.

Lithuania Visa Requirements: How To Obtain Your Visa

Now that you’re finally ready for your trip to Lithuania, it’s time for you to apply for your visa. If you’re thinking about the Lithuania Visa requirements that you’ll need to fulfil at the embassy, don’t worry about it. We have every information you need to get you started with your visa application.

TYPES OF VISAS REQUIREMENTS FOR LITHUANIA:

Lithuania is a part of the Schengen area, which means, you’ll need a Schengen visa to travel here. If you’re not familiar with the term ‘Schengen visa’, it is simply a visa that is commonly applicable to all the 26 European countries that signed the Schengen agreement supporting the idea of ‘Europe without borders’. You just need to obtain a visa for the country you’re arriving first or intending to stay longer, and you’ll be able to travel across any Schengen country with the same visa!

If you’re planning to get the visa for Lithuania, it is good to know that the Lithuania visa requirements vary depending on the purpose and duration of your stay in the country. If you’re a tourist or a business person, you may just need a short-term visiting visa that has a maximum validity of 3 months. However, if the purpose of your visit is to pursue your study or career, you may need a long-term visa, such as a student visa or a job visa. Here, we’ve gathered all the information you need about the Lithuania visa requirements for both short-term and long-term visas.

LITHUANIA VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR SHORT TERM STAY:

The short-stay visa for Lithuania is required if you’re intending to stay there for a short period of time or if it is the country of arrival during your inter-Schengen visit. Short-term Lithuania Visa requirements include:

• First, you need to fill the visa application, which you can download by clicking on this link. You can fill the details electronically. Take a printout of it once completely filled, and then sign in the required fields.
• Be ready with two whole-face photographs that are printed in the passport format. You need to ensure that your face has at least 75-80% coverage, with a light background.
• Obviously, you need a valid passport with at least two blank pages to mark your entry and exit from Lithuania. Your passport should be issued within the past 10 years, and should be valid for not less than 3 months from the returning date. Photocopies of the previous visas should also be included, along with the other Lithuania Visa requirements.
• A  cover letter , duly signed by the applicant is one of the mandatory Lithuania Visa requirements. It should discuss all the necessary details about the trip, including the information about the places you plan to visit, the exact duration of your visit, your means of transportation within Lithuania, the hotels and resorts you’ll stay in, and whether you intend to visit any other countries during your trip. This will give an assurance to the Lithuanian Embassy that you have a fixed plan for the visit.
• The documents showing your return to your home country, such as your flight return-tickets reservation or travel itinerary are inevitable.
• Likewise, you need to show the  Hotel reservation for visa  as proof of your accommodation in Lithuania. Hence, the reservations for your stay at the hotels of your choice must be made even before applying for the visa. We know that there can be situations where you might change plans. So, reserving the hotels without actually paying the whole amount through a reputed agency is always advisable, as it can go easy on the pocket.
• Travel Insurance  policy is a mandatory requirement for Schengen visa. It should cover a minimum of 30,000EUR and needs to be valid in all the Schengen countries.
• You will be asked to furnish the details about your means of subsistence. It should basically prove that you have enough financial backup for the whole tour, without requiring any further financial assistance until return. The two important documents you need to submit are: your bank statement for the past 3 months, duly signed and sealed by your Bank, as well as your Income Tax Returns documents for the last 2 years.
• The other documents that will come in handy for you during the visa application are: a  no objection letter from your employer  (or school/university, in case you’re a student), residential address proofs, and proof of marital status such as your marriage certificate, child’s birth certificate, spouse’s death certificate, ration card, or your birth certificate (if you’re unmarried).

LITHUANIA VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR LONG-TERM STAY:

In case you’re planning to stay in Lithuania for a longer duration, you’ll be required to take a long-term visa. The long-term Lithuania Visa requirements are the same as that of the short-term visa, except for some additional documents. Depending on the purpose of your long-term stay in Lithuania, here are some additional documents you’ll require, apart from the ones that are discussed in the Lithuania Visa requirements for short-term stay:

• If the purpose of your visit is for your further studies, research, or training, you need to show the enrollment certificate for the course and the course completion certificate for any previous courses done.
• If you’re a spouse of a Lithuanian citizen and want to reside in Lithuania, you need to show the proof of your spouse’s Lithuanian citizenship, such as their ID card, consular card, certificate of Lithuanian nationality or naturalisation order. You may also need to submit the Lithuanian Marriage Certificate as well as the Lithuanian family record book as proofs.
• When you apply for a long-term visa, you will, probably, be asked to obtain a Health Insurance policy from Lithuania to cover any medical emergencies during your stay. In case, you’re not able to obtain one on your own, you can have any citizen of Lithuania, as in charge of all your medical expenses and health care services.
• The documents proving your proficiency with the official language is another important long-term visa requirement. Since Lithuanian is the official language, you will be required to pass a language test to show that you won’t fail to communicate while in Lithuania.

We understand that the Lithuania visa requirements can be quite elaborate and a bit confusing too. Still, you don’t have to worry, as we have the friendliest support crew that can assist you throughout the course of your visa application. Since reliability is our main concern, you can get your  flight reservation for visa  or  hotel reservation for visa  application from  Visa Reservation  to ensure that there are no hiccups along your visa application process!
