Amendment of COVID19 travel restrictions in Lithuania

On 17 August 2020, the Lithuanian government adapted the entry regulations to the changed COVID19 situation.

From now on, nationals of all states of the European Economic Area, the Swiss Confederation and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland may enter Lithuania. The same applies to persons with permanent residence in these countries.

Persons entering from those above mentioned countries with a 14-day cumulative number of COVID-19 cases per 100 000 inhabitants of more than 16 must isolate themselves for 14 days after entry.

Persons entering from countries with more than 25 corona cases per 100 000 inhabitants must furthermore present the result of a corona test not older than 72 hours upon entry. 

If entering the Republic of Lithuania by land, persons entering the country must register with the National Public Health Centre at the Ministry of Health within 12 hours of arrival in the Republic of Lithuania.

All persons entering must fill in a form for detecting a possible infection. To save time, it is recommended to fill in the form online in advance. It is available at the following link: https://keleiviams.nvsc.lt/en/form

The authorities carry out random checks on compliance with the quarantine rules.

Current case numbers can be found on the following website: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/cases-2019-ncov-eueea

The figures published on the website are also the data basis for the Lithuanian entry restrictions. The government takes the data every Friday afternoon and draws up a list of countries, which is then valid from the following Monday.
