Lithuania has lifted its negative test requirement for toursits from all EU/EEEA countries.
From February 15, visitors from EU/EEA and some of the non-EU countries, including the UK, will no longer be required to provide a vaccine certificate, documentation of recovery, or a negative COVID-19 test when entering Lithuania.
This includes people travelling from the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA) and some non-EU countries such as Israel, USA, UAE, New Zealand, Georgia, Taiwan and Ukraine.
People arriving from outside the EEA will still need to present a negative test unless they have been vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid-19.
Aušrinė Armonaitė, Lithuania’s Minister of the Economy and Innovation, commented, “The lifted restrictions send a positive message to the entire Lithuanian tourism sector. previous restrictions would no longer serve the same purpose, and would only have a negative impact on the economy.”
Before the pandemic, the tourism sector made up a significant part of the local economy, amounting to over €977 million in total spent every year.
