What you need, by where you are coming from
Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Lithuanian sockets are Type Schuko at 230 V, the same as its Baltic neighbours.
Sockets in Lithuania are Type and at 230 V, 50 Hz - the round Schuko outlet.
A Europlug fits every socket in the country.
Latvia, Estonia and Poland match for a two-pin plug; Poland's earthed sockets use the French earth pin instead of clips.
British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
230 V, so only American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter.
Unearthed sockets are still common in Soviet-era housing, identical from the front to the earthed version.
A trip on to Poland needs nothing extra for a Europlug, but a bare Schuko plug can fail on a Polish earthed socket, which has a pin in the middle instead of clips on the rim.
