The core set is a valid passport, the completed application form, recent photos to spec, evidence of funds, proof of travel medical insurance, your travel itinerary, and proof of where you'll stay. Some routes ask for extra documents.
How long is the Tourist Visa valid and how long can I stay?
You can stay up to 90 days per visit, while the Tourist Visa remains valid for 180 days from the date of issue. Overstaying can lead to fines or future entry bans, so track your permitted dates carefully.

Can I extend my Tourist Visa once I'm in Lithuania?
An extension may be possible at the discretion of Lithuania's immigration authority. Lodge the request before your current tourist visa lapses.
What happens if my application is denied?
A refusal usually comes with a stated ground. You can address the gap and reapply, or follow the embassy's appeal route. Note that the fee is normally non-refundable.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes. As a Schengen destination, Lithuania requires travel medical insurance with a minimum of €30,000 in coverage, valid across all Schengen states for the entire stay.
Can I work on a Tourist Visa?
No. Tourist visas strictly prohibit employment. Working without authorization can result in deportation and future entry bans.

Can I work or study on a tourist visa?
No. Tourist visas are for tourism, family visits, and short meetings only. Working or studying requires a different visa, and violation triggers deportation.
What will the immigration officer ask?
Passport with visa, hotel booking, return ticket, financial proof for the stay, and sometimes itinerary. Be ready to answer simple questions about your visit's purpose.

Submit honest, complete documents; show strong home-country ties (job, family, property); book a refundable itinerary; avoid form errors. Accuracy in every field matters.
