Lithuania: All incoming travellers will have to pay for their own tests

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland stop entry to Russian tourists through external borders

Lithuania: Ministry of Health of The Republic of Lithuania on Monday (January 31) announced, there will be no changes in the list of affected countries, i.e., all the countries continue as either red or grey. Until now, travellers who were not vaccinated and who had no record of past infection arriving in Lithuania by other than a carrier transport, or in other specified cases, with no evidence of negative COVID-19 testing were required to book a test within 24 hours of arrival in Lithuania. This test was previously available from a mobile point, but from Monday (January 31), these travellers will have to pay themselves for their COVID-19 testing booked at a medical testing facility.


From now on, testing will no longer be free for crew members transporting passengers on international routes by all types of vehicles, when their planned stay in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania is longer than 24 hours, also for foreigners arriving in Lithuania for special humanitarian reasons.
Frontier workers, also those crossing the border between the Republic of Lithuania and another European Economic Area country every day or every working day: those travelling for work-related purposes, pupils and those transporting them to an education establishment, also students and trainees will have to pay for their own testing.
