How soon hospitals in Lithuania say they can see you
These are each hospital's own words, not our estimate. “Booking” is how soon it says you can be seen, “Department wait” is a wait it publishes for one department, and “Reply” is how fast it answers an enquiry. Few hospitals publish waiting times by department; where none is published, ask the international office for a date in writing before you book flights.

Official figures and rules for patients from abroad
- New Vision: the cataract programme is open to residents of any EU country or the UK, with no doctor's referral, application or quota; the clinic contrasts this with Lithuania's insurance-funded route, which 'starts with a doctor's referral'. rule
Entry rules
We link to the official advice rather than restating it, because entry rules change. Check the page for your passport before you book:
- UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements)
- Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca)
- US citizens (State Department, choose the country)
- Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country)
Can you claim the cost back?
From England (NHS): the S2 route can fund planned treatment in an EU country, but only state healthcare with a public provider, never private treatment, and only with approval before you go. NHS England must also confirm it cannot treat you in a medically acceptable time. The private clinics on this page do not qualify. NHS: the S2 funding route.
From Ireland (HSE): Lithuania is one of the EU countries listed for the Cross Border Directive scheme. You pay the provider yourself and then claim back the smaller of what you paid and what the same care would cost in the Irish public system; travel and hotels are not covered, and you need a referral from a GP or a consultant you saw as a public patient. HSE: Cross Border Directive, how much you can claim.
Planning a medical trip to Lithuania
- Ask each clinic for a written, itemised quote and the appointment in writing before booking flights.
- Check that your travel insurance covers planned medical treatment; many policies exclude it.
- Ask for reports in English and images in a format your doctor at home can open. See how to bring your results home.
- Know who to contact if you have a problem after you fly home, and tell your own doctor before you go.

Treatment in Lithuania: questions
What treatments have published prices in Lithuania?
We found prices we could check for laser eye operations, dental implants, full-arch implant treatments and veneers. We have no verified price for MRI scans, CT scans, colonoscopies, gastroscopies, health check-ups, heart check-ups, cancer screening packages, cataract operations, hair transplants, hip replacements, knee replacements and IVF cycles yet.
Which hospitals in Lithuania take international patients?
We list 3 in Vilnius: New Vision Eye Clinic (Naujas regejimas), ProDentum and Odontika. Each runs its own service for patients from abroad.
How long do you wait for treatment in Lithuania?
Hospitals publish their own booking times, for example New Vision Eye Clinic (Naujas regejimas) (next scheduled weeks (as listed on 2026-10-27)): “November 2026 18 Wed / 19 Thu Examination Mon, November 16 December 2026 9 Wed / 10 Thu Examination Mon, December 7”. Ask for a date in writing before booking flights.
Is it safe to have treatment in Lithuania?
We cannot judge the safety of a clinic, and listing a price is not a recommendation. Ask the clinic about the doctor's qualifications, how complications are handled, and who looks after you when you are home, and talk to your own doctor first.
Do I need a visa for medical treatment in Lithuania?
It depends on your passport and how long you stay. Use the official pages linked on this page: the FCDO for UK citizens, travel.gc.ca for Canadians, the State Department for US citizens and the Department of Foreign Affairs for Irish citizens.
Can I claim the cost back from the NHS or HSE?
From England, only for state treatment at a public provider approved in advance through the S2 route. From Ireland, the Cross Border Directive scheme can repay up to the Irish public cost of the same care.
What language do clinics in Lithuania use?
Lithuanian; clinics that serve patients from abroad work in English.
