Arriving crew members that transport passengers on international routes by all types of vehicles will be required to have a negative COVID-19 testing result if they stay in Lithuania longer than 72 hours. Those staying shorter than that will not be required, as before, to have a negative test result on the entry to Lithuania.
It may happen that instead of a planned shorter stay a person has to stay longer than 72 hours as a result of changes in the circumstances. In this case, they will be required to contact, within 24 hours of the arrival, the Coronavirus Hotline at 1808 or other establishment that performs coronavirus tests to book a testing appointment visit and take a test in due time.
The same requirements will apply in the case of other crew members employed in companies engaged in international commercial transportation or who carry out international commercial transportation by all types of vehicles and who travel for the purpose of work-related functions.
Please note that, as of Monday, the period of negative test exemption for travellers with past COVID-19 infection will be 180 days of the confirmation of the disease instead of the previous 90 days, which is twice as long.
Foreigners arriving in Lithuania by carrier transport for humanitarian reasons at the permission of the Ministry of the Interior will no longer be required to bring in the COVID-19 test, but they will have to take it in Lithuania. They will be required to book a testing appointment visit within 24 hours of the arrival. Those arriving for humanitarian reasons by their own transport will be required, as before, to take a test within 72 hours before the arrival or take it in Lithuania.
