Where to apply: Lithuania has no mission in Sri Lanka

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
India 1,428 km
Applications accepted in: New Delhi
2
Singapore 2,654 km
Applications accepted in: Singapore
3
United Arab Emirates 3,351 km
Applications accepted in: Abu Dhabi

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

Your odds of getting the visa: Sri Lanka → Lithuania

Visa guides tell you whether a visa is required. This block answers the second question — will you get it. Figures come from the European Commission's official 2025 statistics, broken down per country pair.
