Lithuania visa for Costa Rican citizens

For Costa Rican passport holders, the prospect of exploring Lithuania is wonderfully straightforward: you can enjoy visa-free entry for stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This journey transports you from Costa Rica's tropical rainforests to Lithuania's serene Baltic landscapes, a transition that often involves a transatlantic flight with at least one layover in a major European hub like Amsterdam or Frankfurt. Be prepared for a significant time zone shift, as Lithuania operates 8-9 hours ahead of Costa Rica, meaning you'll arrive ready to experience its rich history and vibrant culture firsthand. While visa-free travel covers most tourist visits, two specific tourist visa types are also available for those planning extended stays or unique travel itineraries beyond the standard 90-day allowance.
