Lithuania draws visitors with historic Vilnius, its Baltic coast, the Curonian Spit and vast forest landscapes. For many, it\u2019s part of a Baltic road trip or a shorter stop on the north\u2013south route through Central Europe. Although Lithuania is in the EU, entry with a dog still depends on where the dog is arriving from and which documents you carry.<\/p>\n\n

For a typical non-commercial trip with a dog to Lithuania, the basics are a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and the right travel document. If the dog is coming from an EU country, the process is simpler. Arrivals from non\u2011EU countries require a veterinary health certificate and, for some countries, a rabies antibody titer test.<\/p>\n\n

Pay even more attention to the return journey, as your destination country may have much stricter rules than Lithuania itself.<\/p>\n\n

This article covers standard non\u2011commercial travel with a dog accompanying its owner or an authorized person. If the dog travels as cargo, for sale, with a change of ownership, or as part of a larger number of animals, different rules may apply.<\/p>\n\n
