Frequently asked questions
Can I use my Czech national ID or driving licence instead of a passport?
A Czech national identity card is accepted for entry; a driving licence is also accepted as a travel document on this route. A temporary passport is not accepted.
Will I need to show bank statements or cash at the border?
No. You will not be asked to show proof of funds on arrival on this route.
Do I have to fill in an arrival card or register when I arrive?
There is no arrival registration or entry card for this route; you do not need to complete an arrival form on arrival in Lithuania.
Do I have to buy travel insurance before I go?
Travel insurance is recommended for your trip to Lithuania but it is not a condition of entry.
What do I do if my passport is lost or stolen in Lithuania?
If you lose your travel document in Lithuania, contact the Czech Embassy in Vilnius; the embassy issues a replacement travel document for return to the Czech Republic.
What documents does my child need to travel?
Children must travel on their own passport or identity card; a child listed on a parent's ID is not considered covered by that document. Travellers under 18 should also carry a letter of parental consent.
If I drive to Lithuania, what documents should I have with me?
You may travel with a driving licence as part of your identification when travelling by motor vehicle, but you should also carry the vehicle’s registration certificate and proof of compulsory insurance when driving.
Can I travel on a temporary passport?
A temporary passport will not be accepted for entry to Lithuania on this route; you must use an ordinary passport, national identity card, or driving licence.
Can I apply for entry permission at the embassy in Prague?
The Czech Embassy in Vilnius provides consular help and issues replacement travel documents for return; it is available to Czech nationals in Lithuania but is not an application route for entry permissions.
Is my child covered by being listed on my ID card?
A national identity card is valid only for its named holder; every child traveling with a parent must have their own passport or identity card.
Will border officers ask to see an onward ticket or evidence of funds?
You must not expect to be asked for an onward ticket, proof of funds, or an entry card on arrival; these are not required on this route.
Where do I get the visa?
There is no application to make for entry permission: you travel with your travel document and the allowed stay is granted on entry. The Czech Embassy in Vilnius exists for consular help, including issuing a replacement travel document for return to the Czech Republic.
