Alright, so I’ve been meaning to hit up Lithuania for a while now, and I finally got around to sorting out the visa situation. Honestly, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. Let me tell you how I managed to apply for and get my Lithuania visa, all from the comfort of my couch.
First things first, I had to figure out what kind of visa I needed. Turns out, for just traveling and sightseeing, it’s called a “short-stay” or “tourist” visa. Once I knew that, I started rounding up all the documents they asked for. You know, the usual stuff like passport photos, proof of where I’d be staying, and a bank statement to show I wasn’t going to be a freeloader in their country.
Then came the actual application part. I went online, found a few sites that seemed legit, and filled out their forms. It was all pretty straightforward. I just typed in my details, uploaded scans of my documents, and made sure everything was spelled right. Paid the fee with my credit card, which was kind of a relief because I didn’t have to deal with going to a bank or anything.

After hitting “submit”, I thought it would be weeks of nail-biting, but nope. In just a few days, I got an email saying my visa was approved. All I had to do was print out the eVisa they sent me, and that was it. No sticking anything in my passport, no waiting in line at an embassy.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Figured out the visa type: Tourist, short-stay.
- Gathered documents: Passport photos, hotel booking, bank statement, and some other minor stuff.
- Filled out the online form: Typed in my info, uploaded my documents.
- Paid the fee: Used my trusty credit card.
- Waited a bit: Not for long, though.
- Got my eVisa: Printed it out. Done.
Some thoughts after the whole process:
Honestly, it was way easier than I expected. The online process is a lifesaver, especially if you’re not near an embassy or just can’t be bothered with the hassle. Plus, it was pretty quick. I’ve heard horror stories of people waiting forever for their visas, but mine came through in no time. If you’re thinking about visiting Lithuania, don’t sweat the visa part. Just get your documents in order, fill out the forms carefully, and you should be good to go. Happy travels!
