TRAINS AND TROLLEYBUSES

Ukrainians can travel free of charge by train in Lithuania (for the first three months after arrival) and by public transport in Vilnius (all the time). You will have to show your identity document.

LIBRARIES

Use the services of Lithuanian libraries free of charge. Every city and town has a library. Ukrainian citizens shall be issued library cards at public libraries free of charge, provided access to computers and wireless Internet, family, youth and leisure facilities, they will be able to participate in educational activities, children’s sensory readings, visit exhibitions and other cultural events, access various board games and library collections of interactive games, music, films, books and periodicals in various languages.

BRINGING PETS TO LITHUANIA

Ukrainians whose pets are properly marked, vaccinated, have a valid animal passport, and meet all the requirements for the entry of pets into the EU will follow the usual procedure for crossing the border. Animals coming from Ukraine that are not micro-chipped or have not been vaccinated against rabies will be micro-chipped and vaccinated, and therefore subjected to simpler quarantine conditions.
