If you do not need a visa to enter, the total period of stay in the country should not exceed 90 days within 180 days. This applies to those cases when you are traveling as a tourist, visiting family or friends, attending business meetings, cultural or sporting events.

A longer stay is possible, but you must apply for a visa or residence permit.

All tourists from outside the Schengen area must have biometric passports issued less than 10 years before the date of entry into the country (check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 6 months after the day you plan to leave (check the "expiration date"), as well as issue an insurance policy for the entire period of stay in the country.

From January 1, 2024, or when the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) comes into force, citizens of Kosovo will not need a visa to enter the EU either.  In the meantime, Kosovo remains the only country in the Western Balkans where citizens need a visa to enter the EU

If you do not have a biometric passport or are a citizen of a country that cannot enter Lithuania without a visa, you need to obtain a short-term Schengen visa.

The list of documents that must be submitted together with the visa application, as well as the visa processing procedure, can be found here:

Please note that you do not need to apply for a visa if you have a valid residence permit issued by a member state of the Schengen Agreement, or a valid visa with the category D for a long stay (a national visa considered equivalent to a residence permit) issued by a member state of the Schengen Agreement.
