FAQ

Do I have to go through an interview while applying for Lithuania visa?

It depends. During the examination of an application, the consular office may call the applicant for an interview.

What documents do I have to take with me when I travel to Lithuania on a Schengen visa?

Mere possession of a Schengen visa does not mean that the holder has an automatic right to enter the Schengen Area (i.e. the territory of the countries that issue Schengen permit).

At the Schengen external border, the visa holder may be requested to produce documents justifying the purpose and conditions of the intended stay and that they have sufficient means of subsistence, both for the period of the intended stay and for the return to their country of origin or transit to a third state into which they are sure to be admitted, or are in a position to acquire such means lawfully. The applicant should also have adequate travel medical insurance valid throughout the territory of the Member States and cover the entire period of intended stay or transit.

What is the maximum period for which a visa can be granted in case of a Personal Invitation/Private Visit?

Depending on the invitation details, a visa can be granted for up to a maximum of 90 days in 6 months (Short-term visa) with a validity of from one year to 5 years.

Is travel insurance necessary for Lithuania?

If you need a visa for traveling to Lithuania (Schengen visa):

  • Then yes. Lithuania travel insurance is necessary for applying for the Schengen visa. The Lithuania visa travel insurance requirement is a minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR

If you a citizen of a country that does not need a visa for traveling to Lithuania:

  • Then buying travel insurance for Lithuania is not mandatory for visits of less than 90 days. However, given the cost of healthcare in Lithuania, and that domestic health insurance offers little health insurance outside your home country, it is strongly recommended to buy travel insurance for Lithuania.

Can I change my hotel reservation after getting a Lithuania visa?

You can change your hotel reservation with the condition that you notify the authority issuing a visa before your travel. There is a high possibility that your hotel will inform the Lithuanian embassy or consulate in the case of reservation cancellation. So, it is recommended to do it before your hotel to avoid the misunderstanding that you provided false information to the embassy/consulate. In other cases, your Lithuania visa can be annulled.

Will I get my Lithuanian visa at the end of the visa process?

The issuance or refusal of a visa is the sole right of The Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania. In the absence of sufficient evidence that you will not leave the Schengen area until the expiration date of your visa, your visa application can be rejected.

 

Can someone else apply for Lithuania visa on my behalf?

As per the VIS rules, from 12 October 2015, all applicants applying for a Schengen visa must come to Lithuania Visa Application Center/Embassy/Consulate submit biometric data for ten fingerprints and a photo. In the following 59 months, the applicant can leave the application without visiting the Visa Application Center.

In case it is a child under the age of 12 for a short-stay visa, a child under the age of 6 for a long-stay visa, or if it is physically impossible, she/he need not come for submission in person.

If you want to submit your application through an agent/representative he/she needs to present his/her own ID and an authorization letter issued by the applicant. If you have never been to the Schengen area, your visa application must be submitted  in person.

Can Lithuania Embassy/Consulate request me to provide additional documents or information?

Yes, the Embassy/Consulate reserve the right to call applicants in for necessary verification or a personal interview at a later time. Likewise, the Embassy reserves the right to request additional documents not contained in the harmonized list of documents, when necessary.
