Current Travel Situation
Iran to Lithuania: What You Need to Know
Lithuania is a full Schengen member and Iranian nationals must obtain a Type C visa in advance. Lithuania is the southernmost of the three Baltic states and is known for its well-preserved baroque Old Town in Vilnius, Curonian Spit national park, and Hill of Crosses religious monument near Siauliai.
Lithuania does not have a large diplomatic presence in Iran, and applicants should confirm the current submission point for Lithuanian Schengen visa applications in Tehran. Applications may be processed through the Lithuanian Embassy directly or through a shared regional facility.
Vilnius is increasingly recognized as a vibrant European capital with a growing arts and food scene. Lithuania is one of the more affordable Schengen destinations, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers.
Practical Tips
Vilnius Old Town is one of the largest surviving baroque old towns in Europe and is compact enough to explore on foot in a day or two. Lithuania is very affordable by European standards, and Vilnius has a growing number of quality restaurants and cafes. The Curonian Spit, shared with Russia (Kaliningrad), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with dramatic sand dunes and pine forests; access from Lithuania does not require a Russian visa. Lithuania uses the Euro.
