Lithuania’s Interior Minister, Vladislav Kondratovic, sees no need to relax existing restrictions on the entry of Belarusian citizens into Lithuania, BNS reports. Lithuania has stopped issuing new visas to Belarusian citizens with few exceptions and has closed four out of six checkpoints on the border with Belarus. Moreover, Belarusians arriving in the country are subject to additional checks. Belarusians crossed the Lithuanian border around 1.5 million times in 2024, which was down from 2.6 million times in 2023. Currently, altogether around 59,000 Belarusian citizens have valid residence permits in Lithuania.
