Lithuania in the Schengen Area
The Schengen Group Requires Only One Visa.
Foreigners wanting to travel in the Schengen area need to have only one visa. From the first day of Lithuania's membership in the Schengen group, it will start issuing unified short-term visas allowing travel around the Schengen territory; foreigners, who already have valid visas issued by another Schengen partner, will be allowed to stay in all Schengen states, including Lithuania, during the period their visa is valid.
Schengen states apply a common practice for the issuance of visas, taking into account the interests of each other, they set unified requirements for the documents that are to be presented together with the application for visa, fix the same charge for the examination of a visa application. Therefore, any visa issued in one Schengen state is also valid in other states. This practice is especially beneficial for those citizens of third states, who intend to visit several Schengen states.
In exceptional cases, when people do not meet uniform visa requirements, a Schengen member state may issue a visa that is valid only in the issuing country. Such exceptions may be related to humanitarian, national interests or international obligations.
