Spain visa for Lithuanian citizens

Rules can change: confirm on the official site before you travel. imptbalearic.es is a hotel and travel site; it does not issue visas.

Lithuanian citizens do not need a visa to enter Spain, including the Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. As EU nationals, they benefit from free movement under Regulation (EU) 2018/1806. Travel is permitted with a valid national identity card or passport. No special conditions apply. This page explains what the status means in practice for a trip to the islands.

What the status means

Lithuanian citizens are not third-country nationals under EU visa rules. They can enter, move within and stay in Spain without a visa. The right applies to all Schengen area countries. A valid identity card or passport is the only travel document needed. The passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure from the Schengen area and have been issued within the previous ten years.

There is no limit on short stays for EU citizens, but stays over three months require registration. The same rules apply to Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera as to mainland Spain. No visa application, fee or appointment is needed for tourism or business visits. Check the official EU link for the full regulation text.

Before you travel and at the border

Carry a valid identity card or passport. Border checks may ask to see it. No visa is required. EU citizens can use separate lanes at passport control. The border officer may ask about the purpose and length of stay. Answer truthfully. No supporting documents are needed for short visits, but having a return ticket and accommodation details can help.

Two new EU systems are being introduced: the Entry/Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). These will change border procedures for non-EU travellers. Lithuanian citizens are exempt from ETIAS. Check the official EU travel website before travelling for the latest updates.

Arriving on the islands

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) and Menorca Airport (MAH) receive flights from many European cities. Formentera has no airport. To reach Formentera, fly to Ibiza and take a ferry from the port of Eivissa to La Savina. Mallorca is not covered by this site but can be a transit point via ferry or flight. No visa checks apply to EU citizens at any of these points.

Ferry services connect the islands year-round, though frequencies reduce in winter. From November to April many businesses close. Check ferry schedules and accommodation availability before travelling. The Consell d'Eivissa, Consell Insular de Menorca and Consell de Formentera provide local travel information.

Staying longer, working or studying

For stays over three months, Lithuanian citizens must register with the local authorities. This applies to anyone living, working or studying in Spain. The registration is done at the Oficina de Extranjería or the local police station. A valid passport or identity card, proof of employment or study, and proof of address are required.

For work or study, a national visa or residence permit may be needed. Check the official Spanish government website for the specific requirements. The rules are the same for all EU citizens. No visa is needed for short business trips or tourism. Always check the latest regulations before making plans.
