Guide last updated September 29, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure date from the Schengen Area
  • No visa application form required for short stays
  • Proof of sufficient funds (around EUR 40-60/day is a reasonable guideline)
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel confirmation or host's invitation letter)
  • No biometrics required for visa-free entry
  • Travel health insurance recommended, minimum EUR 30,000 coverage

Visa types

  • Not applicable for stays under 90 days - visa-free tourist and business entry
  • For work, study, or long-term stays, a Lithuanian national (D) visa or residence permit is required, applied for through the Lithuanian embassy/consulate or Migration Department before travel

Entry conditions

  • Canadian passport holders may stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen Area without a visa
  • No paid work is permitted under visa-free entry
  • Border officials may ask for proof of accommodation, return ticket, and funds
  • Entry is typically through Vilnius or Kaunas International Airport
  • Extensions past 90 days are not possible while inside the Schengen Area

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee - visa-free entry applies
  • No processing time - decided at the border on arrival
  • No express option since no visa is needed

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Apply the 90/180-day Schengen rule across all Schengen countries you visit, not just Lithuania
  • Keep digital and printed copies of hotel bookings and return flights
  • Lithuania's e-Residency and long-stay options exist for those wanting to stay longer, but must be arranged before the visa-free period runs out
  • Winter travel (Nov-Mar) can affect connecting flights - build in buffer time
  • Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended, as it is a common (though not legally mandatory for Canadians) requirement checked by airlines
