Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia have also been removed from the list of the most affected countries, from where foreigners can only enter in accordance with the exceptions provided in the Resolution of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania.

The exemptions for Estonia and Poland and the 14-day isolation will not apply to:

• Polish and Estonian citizens and persons legally residing there and who have returned or arrived for work, studies, agricultural activities or healthcare.

• People returning to or arriving in Poland through a country not affected by the coronavirus when only necessary stops are made in Poland, such as refueling or hygiene.

• Isolation will also not apply to officers performing extradition, transfer or repossession tasks.

It should be noted that people who have been exposed are considered returnees or arrivals from countries included in the list of countries affected by coronavirus infection or who have traveled through the affected countries. Isolation is mandatory for them. However, isolation is not required when people travel by plane without leaving the airport transit area or from a country not affected by a coronavirus infection through Poland, where only necessary stops are provided, such as refueling, hygiene, etc.

SAM reminds that all travelers returning to or arriving in Lithuania on regular, special or charter flights by air, sea or land must register with the NVSC electronically from Tuesday 15 September. This means that before boarding a plane, ferry, bus or train, a person will have to fill out a form on the NVSC website and present the confirmation received, the so-called QR code, at the time of boarding the vehicle.
In cases where a person has traveled independently by land, they must register with the NVSC electronically no later than 12 hours after the time of return or arrival in Lithuania.

For Lithuanian citizens and people legally residing in Lithuania, such a study is not mandatory when returning or arriving in Lithuania, but 14 days of isolation is still mandatory.

The SAM recalls that the list of countries most affected is updated weekly, taking into account epidemiological indicators in foreign countries.
