Lithuania is the southernmost of the three Baltic states and a growing choice for Indian students and travellers alike. Its capital Vilnius has one of Europe's largest surviving medieval old towns, while Trakai Island Castle sits on a lake just outside the city, the Curonian Spit offers vast sand dunes on the Baltic coast and the Hill of Crosses near Siauliai is a moving sight. Indian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa, allowing up to 90 days in any 180-day period, with biometrics given at the visa centre authorised by the Lithuanian embassy in India. Many travellers combine Lithuania with Latvia and Estonia; apply where you spend the most nights.
Audvik checks your documents, fills in the application, books your appointment and prepares a clear Baltic itinerary. For students, we explain the separate national visa process and required paperwork.

Important things to know
Lithuania borders Belarus and Russia's Kaliningrad region; a Schengen visa does not allow entry to either, so avoid border-crossing day trips.
Visa centre arrangements for Lithuania in India can change; Audvik confirms the current process before booking.
Student visa applicants usually need admission confirmation and proof of funds first; check the latest requirements with your university.
Every application is decided at the discretion of the Lithuanian authorities.

Lithuania visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Lithuania?
Yes. Lithuania is part of the Schengen Area, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa for tourism, business or family visits. It permits up to 90 days in any 180-day period and allows onward travel to Latvia, Estonia and other Schengen countries.
Can I visit all three Baltic countries on one visa?
Yes. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are all in the Schengen Area, so one visa covers the whole trip. Apply to the country where you will spend the most nights, or to your first country of entry if your nights are split equally.
How long does it take to get a Lithuania visa?
Short-stay applications are usually decided within about 15 calendar days of your appointment, but it may take longer if more documents are needed. For study visas, allow considerably more time and start the process as soon as you receive your admission letter.
Is travel insurance mandatory for a Lithuania visa?
Yes. Travel medical insurance valid in all Schengen states, with at least EUR 30,000 cover for emergency treatment and repatriation, is compulsory for the full length of your stay. Audvik can arrange a compliant policy for you.
Can Audvik plan a Baltic tour with my Lithuania visa?
Yes. Audvik can design a Baltic itinerary covering Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, with flights, hotels, intercity buses or trains and travel insurance. We prepare your visa file around those bookings so that every date and document matches.
