“As the pandemic situation in the world stabilizes, we see more and more countries open their borders. We are also ready to continue to gradually reduce restrictions: we propose to abolish border controls on the border with Latvia from June 1 This decision would speed up movement across the border and ensure a more comfortable journey, “says Interior Minister Rita Tamašunienė in the Ministry report.

The government will consider the proposal at a meeting on Wednesday.

Starting May 15, citizens of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and people legally residing in these countries who wish to travel through the territories of these countries do not have to justify the reasons for entry. If you’ve only traveled in these three countries, staff at the National Center for Public Health don’t check people at border crossing points for COVID-19 signs, but the passport verification procedure continues.

Starting on May 18, citizens of the Baltic States can choose four border crossing points to travel between countries (Būtingė-Rucava, Saločiai-Grenstalė, Kalviai-Meitenė, Smėlynė-Medumi).

If a person has traveled in countries other than the Baltic States in the last 14 days, he must be isolated for 14 days.
