From February 15, all visitors from EU/EEA and some of the non-EU countries—such as Israel, the U.S., Sakartvelo, Ukraine, and others— no longer require to provide a vaccine certificate, documentation of recovery, or a negative COVID-19 test when entering Lithuania. Starting from March 31, visitors from other countries will be still required to present a vaccination certificate, documentation of recovery, or a negative COVID-19 test, but they will not need to undergo additional testing or self-isolate. Those immunized by Nuvaxovid (Novavax) and Covishield (AstraZeneca) vaccines can already enter the country.

It is expected that the lifted restrictions will drive the country’s tourism businesses towards a faster recovery as entering Lithuania from EU/EEA countries now will be no different from the regulations valid in the pre-pandemic period. Most tourist attractions are now open in Lithuania and allow visitors to explore the country with minimal safety limitations such as wearing medical masks in public indoor spaces and FFP2 grade respirators during indoor events.
