Lithuania restricts entry of Russians and Belarusians: what you need to know?

After the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, new sanctions were imposed against various sectors of the Russian economy. They affected not only the financial sphere, but also air traffic, visa and immigration policies. We provide information on the main restrictions, which are updated in real time.

On April 4, the Seimas of Lithuania decided to approve restrictive measures against citizens of Russia and Belarus, but at the same time rejected restrictions related to the acceptance of citizens of Russia and Belarus into Lithuanian citizenship. The decision was made by a majority vote: 76 deputies in favor, 13 against, and 34 abstained.

According to Lithuanian media reports, the parliamentary Committee on National Security and Defense of Lithuania previously approved the easing of proposed restrictions for Russians and Belarusians, particularly regarding the rules for purchasing real estate.
