Controls on entry to Lithuania: details 

The Lithuanian Ministry of Internal Affairs notes that the checks started on July 7 at 08:00 and will continue until 8 am on July 13. Temporary innovations are related to the NATO summit in Vilnius on July 11-12. 

Checks are expected at the border with Latvia and Poland, at seaports and airports in Palanga, Vilnius and Kaunas.

What documents are required to cross the Lithuanian border?

It is noted that EU citizens need only present a passport and an identity card, while persons who are citizens of countries outside the European Union need to show a passport, visa or other documents confirming the legality of entry into the Schengen area. 

Each Schengen country has been authorized to re-establish internal border controls if necessary to prevent internal security breaches within the country. 

However, the authorities guarantee that travelers will not experience any inconvenience due to temporary checks. However, due to the increased checks, passengers should be prepared for a long wait. 

"Depending on the situation and possible threats, checks will be carried out selectively based on risk analysis at any time of the day," the authorities said. 

We remind you! Recent months in Europe have been characterized by a large number of protests among transport workers. We told you how this affects the functioning of transport and where to expect flight cancelations in July here.
