Lithuania to Poland
Do I need a visa for Poland?
A Lithuanian citizen does not need a visa or any travel authorisation to enter Poland for a tourist trip. One entry permits a stay of up to 90 days. This entry does not allow paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel with an accepted identity document: a Lithuanian passport or a Lithuanian national identity card are both valid for entry to Poland. A driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Poland?
No vaccinations are required for Lithuanian tourists travelling to Poland. You may consult national public‑health recommendations for routine or travel vaccines, but none are mandated for entry.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
One entry permits a tourist stay of up to 90 days. The traveller does not need to complete arrival registration or an entry card for short tourist visits. Information on extending a stay beyond 90 days and residence registration is provided separately for longer stays.

Travellers under 18 need the same accepted travel documents as adults: a passport or national identity card. No additional parental‑consent letters or notarised permissions are required for this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended but it is not a condition of entry to Poland. Buy insurance that suits your needs to cover health, property and documents while abroad.
Frequently asked questions

What if I want to stay longer than a tourist visit?
For stays longer than 90 days the Lithuanian MFA page notes that residence registration is required; this guidance applies only to short tourist trips of up to 90 days and not to longer residence procedures.

No application is required before travel: you board with your passport or national identity card and receive no separate visa or electronic authorisation.
