Key facts

For Canadian passport holders, tourism or short business trips.

You may need a visa if…

• The 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen Area, not just Lithuania.
• Overstaying the 90-day limit can result in fines, deportation, and future entry bans.
• Ensure your passport meets the validity requirements to avoid issues.
• While not typically checked, be prepared to show proof of sufficient funds for your stay.
• The 90 days in any 180 is shared across all Schengen countries, not per country.
• ETIAS is not operational and applications are not open — no ETIAS is needed now, and no launch date is confirmed.
• The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) records biometrics at the border. It is not a visa or travel authorisation and needs no advance action or fee.

Before you travel

• ✓Check your passport's expiry date and issue date.
• ✓Obtain comprehensive travel insurance for the duration of your trip.
• ✓Have proof of a return or onward ticket.
• ✓Be aware of the 90/180-day Schengen rule.
• ✓Carry sufficient funds or proof of financial means (e.g., credit cards).
• ✓Don't pay any site for an ETIAS — it isn't operating yet.
