What happens if my passport is damaged — can I use a temporary document?
If your passport is damaged or otherwise unacceptable for travel, a valid passport or national identity card is required; a temporary passport is not accepted for entry on this route.
Does my child need a consent letter or extra documents to travel?
Children and minors travel on the same accepted documents as adults: a passport or a national identity card. No parental consent letter or extra paperwork is required for travellers under 18.
Can I take paid work or study while visiting on this permission?
This tourist entry does not permit paid work or study. If you plan to work or study you must follow the separate procedures that are not part of this tourist admission.
Do I need to register with local authorities when I arrive as a tourist?
There is no requirement to register your stay on arrival for short tourist visits. The Swiss requirement to register residence applies to people living in Switzerland for longer than 90 days, not to short tourist trips.
Where can I get consular help if I need it while in Switzerland?
Swiss consular help for Lithuanians is available from the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania to the Swiss Confederation in Bern and from the Swiss Embassy accredited to Lithuania; these missions provide consular assistance, not tourist-entry applications.
What will the border officer check at passport control?
Border officers may check that your travel document is valid for the period of your stay; you must present a passport or national identity card that covers your intended time abroad. A driving licence will not be accepted.
Can I transit through Switzerland on my way to another country?
Transit rules are not covered by these facts; for this tourist route note that your permitted short visit is a single entry allowing up to 90 days and you travel on a passport or national identity card.
Is the European Health Insurance Card enough for healthcare in Switzerland?
Swiss guidance recommends ensuring medical evacuation and some transport costs are covered by travel insurance, because the European Health Insurance Card may not cover all medical or transport costs in Switzerland.
Where do I get the visa?
No application is required for this tourist entry; you travel with your passport or national identity card and receive no separate permit. For consular help, the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania to the Swiss Confederation in Bern and the Swiss Embassy accredited to Lithuania can assist; their websites are listed on this page for consular matters only.
