Lithuania Travel Update

Lithuania has updated its weekly travel restrictions, with only Malta remaining on the country’s green list. Poland has now been moved to the red list. The general rules for arrivals from abroad remain unchanged: those coming from countries on the red list must self-isolate for ten days and be tested for Covid-19 unless they have recovered from the coronavirus in the past 180 days or have been vaccinated.

Travellers arriving from yellow-zone countries are required to get tested before their trip and take a second test between days 3 and 5 after arrival. Testing can be done at a mobile testing site after registering online (1808.lt) or by phone (1808).

Arrivals from a country on the green list only need to have a pre-departure Covid-19 test.

These requirements do not apply to travellers who have a certificate that they have recovered from the coronavirus, valid for 180 days after the positive test result, and those who are fully vaccinated with at least 14 days elapsed after their second shot. All travellers must also fill in a questionnaire (https://keleiviams.nvsc.lt/lt/form) before coming to Lithuania.

The full list of rules can be found on the Health Ministry website, as well as the government’s dedicated coronavirus website. The three-tier system is based on the weekly maps published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

Requirements for citizens of countries classed red or grey are: 10-day self-isolation; a Covid-19 antigen test (no more than 48 hours before the arrival) or PCR test (no more than 72 hours before arrival). They are: Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Spain (except Tenerife, Mallorca, and Gran Canaria), Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Latvia, Luxembourg Netherlands, Norway, France (except Réunion and Mayotte), Romania, Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany, as well as non-EU and non-EEA countries.

For arrivals from countries classed yellow, no self-isolation is required, but they need a Covid-19 antigen test (no more than 48 hours before the arrival) or PCR test (no more than 72 hours before the arrival). A second test must be taken in Lithuania, between the third and the fifth day of the stay.
