Lithuania: visa and entry requirements
Lithuania is part of the Schengen area: citizens of other Schengen or EU countries can enter with just a valid ID card.
For non-EU visitors, entry for tourism for up to 90 days is generally possible without a visa for a large number of nationalities. Always check the updated requirements, including the upcoming ETIAS for visa-exempt countries.

Lithuania is generally considered a very safe country, with violent crime rare.
The usual precautions apply against theft and pickpocketing in crowded tourist areas. Always check your country's updated travel advisories.

No mandatory vaccinations are required for entry from other EU or non-EU countries. The healthcare system is of good standard; travel insurance is nonetheless recommended (EHIC card for EU citizens).
Tap water is safe throughout the country.
Lithuania: currency, payments and connectivity
The currency is the euro. Credit cards are widely accepted throughout the country, even in small towns.
The official language is Lithuanian; English is common especially among younger people and in the tourism sector. A tip (10%) is appreciated but not always expected at restaurants.
