This advice has been reviewed and reissued with the addition of a Customs Regulations section. The overall level of the advice has not changed.
There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


Road traffic accidents are common. Extra care must be taken at all times when driving, particularly when driving at night.


Car drivers must carry original car registration documents (copies are not acceptable).


You should seek medical advice about inoculations against rabies and tick-borne encephalitis if you intend to visit forested areas.


Increasing numbers of British tourists visit Lithuania every year. The main type of incident for which British nationals required consular assistance in Lithuania in 2006 was for replacing lost and stolen passports. You should leave your passport in a safe place and keep a copy of it with you for identification purposes.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section and Travel Insurance for more details.
