→ Benin visa for Lithuanian citizens

Benin passport holders planning a visit to Lithuania will find that a visa is required for entry, with the Tourist visa being the sole available type for short stays. The application for this visa typically costs €80, granting permission for visits usually up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Due to the vast distance between West Africa and Northern Europe, travelers should anticipate connecting flights, often transiting through major European hubs like Paris or Brussels, while also noting Lithuania is several hours ahead. Crucially, as there is no Lithuanian embassy in Cotonou, applicants from Benin will need to process their visa through a representative embassy in a neighboring country or a designated consulate in Europe, adding a unique logistical layer to their travel preparations.
