Spain to Lithuania visa requirements

No. As an EU citizen, a Spanish ordinary passport holder needs no visa to visit Lithuania. Both countries are EU and Schengen members, so you enjoy full freedom of movement and may stay indefinitely. Spain and Lithuania are both European Union member states and members of the Schengen Area (Lithuania joined the EU on 1 May 2004 and Schengen on 21 December 2007). Under EU freedom of movement, Spanish citizens may enter, travel, reside and work in Lithuania without any visa. There are no internal Schengen border controls between Spain and Lithuania, so the Schengen 90/180-day limit does NOT apply to EU citizens; that limit only affects visa-exempt third-country nationals. A valid Spanish passport OR national ID card (DNI) is sufficient for travel. ETIAS, the EU travel authorisation expected to become mandatory in late 2026, applies only to visa-exempt non-EU nationals and will NOT be required for Spanish citizens. For stays in Lithuania longer than 90 days, EU citizens only complete a simple registration of their place of residence with Lithuanian authorities (Migration Department), not a visa process.

/02 — The process

How to apply

/01
Confirm your travel document is valid
Carry a valid Spanish passport or national ID card (DNI). EU citizens can enter Lithuania with either; the document should be valid for the duration of your stay.
· Passport or DNI· Must be valid for stay
/02
Book travel and accommodation
No visa, ETIAS or pre-authorisation is needed for a Spanish citizen. Book flights and accommodation freely; most flights from Spain to Vilnius/Kaunas are intra-Schengen with no passport control.
· No visa needed· No ETIAS for EU citizens
/03
Travel to Lithuania
Enter Lithuania directly. As an intra-Schengen route there are normally no systematic border checks, though you must still carry ID and present it if asked by authorities.
· Intra-Schengen travel· Carry ID at all times
/04
Stay up to 90 days freely as a tourist
For a short visit no formalities are required. The Schengen 90/180 rule does not restrict EU citizens, so you may move freely across Lithuania and the rest of Schengen.
· No 90/180 limit for EU citizens
/05
Register residence only if staying over 90 days
If you intend to stay longer than 3 months, declare your place of residence to the Lithuanian Migration Department (Migracijos departamentas) to obtain an EU citizen residence certificate. This is registration, not a visa.
· Migration Department· Over 90 days only
