Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.

What is the Hill of Crosses and why is it considered one of Europe's most remarkable sites?
The Hill of Crosses near Siauliai in northern Lithuania is one of the most extraordinary religious sites in the world. It is a small hill covered with an estimated 100,000 or more crosses, crucifixes, rosaries, and religious carvings left by Lithuanian pilgrims over centuries. The tradition of placing crosses there began in the 14th century and continued through Soviet occupation when the Soviets repeatedly bulldozed the crosses only to have Lithuanians replace them overnight. The site became a symbol of Lithuanian national resistance to Soviet rule. Pope John Paul II visited in 1993 and called it a place for hope, peace, love, and sacrifice. It is genuinely moving and unlike anything else in Europe.
What documents do US citizens need to enter Lithuania?
You need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your entry date. Once ETIAS launches you will also need a valid ETIAS authorization before boarding. At Lithuanian border control or Vilnius Airport immigration you may be asked for a return flight ticket, proof of accommodation, travel insurance, and proof of sufficient funds. Lithuania is a straightforward Schengen entry for US passport holders. AA Passport & Visa helps ensure your passport is current before your Baltic departure from Dallas. Call 972-231-1600.
How does Lithuania fit into a Baltic States trip with Estonia and Latvia?
Lithuania is the natural southern endpoint of a Baltic States trip. The classic route from Dallas would be: fly into Tallinn Estonia, spend 2 nights, take a bus or ferry to Riga Latvia for 3 nights, then bus to Vilnius Lithuania for 2 to 3 nights, and fly home from Vilnius Airport. All three countries are Schengen members with no border controls between them. The landscape changes noticeably from the coastal maritime character of Tallinn and Riga to the more Central European baroque character of Vilnius. Lithuania also has the advantage of direct connections to Warsaw and other Central European cities for extended itineraries. Your combined days count toward the Schengen 90-day allowance.
