This means that tourists will need only one travel certificate, indicating either full vaccination, recovery from Covid within 180 days or a recent negative test. 

Visitors to Lithuania will also no longer be required to present a national certificate or another Covid-related document to access indoor public spaces including hotels, restaurants, museums or cultural venues.

Only individual measures, such as wearing masks indoors and social distancing, will continue to apply in the Baltic state.

Olga Goncarova, general manager of tourist office Lithuania Travel, said: “These are big steps back to normality in the tourism sector. Statistics show that people’s desire to travel remains at a very high level all over the world.

“We are happy that Lithuania eases restrictions to be more open to foreign visitors because, especially this year, there is so much to see and experience in Lithuania and its biggest cities.”
