If you鈥檙e travelling to other Schengen countries as well, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day visa-free limit.

If you overstay the 90-day visa-free limit, you may be banned from entering Schengen countries for up to 3 years.

If you鈥檙e a visitor, border guards will look at your entry and exit stamps to check you have not overstayed the 90-day visa-free limit for the Schengen area.听

If your passport is missing a stamp, show evidence of when and where you entered or left the Schengen area (for example, boarding passes or tickets) and ask the border guards to add the date and location in your passport.听

At Lithuanian border control, you may need to:

• show proof of your accommodation, for example, a hotel booking confirmation or proof of address for a second home
• show proof of your travel insurance
