Lithuania penalises both sides of the transaction: under Article 487 of the Code of Administrative Offences, engaging in prostitution and paying for prostitution services each carry a fine of EUR 90 to 140, or EUR 140 to 300 for a repeat offence. A person drawn into prostitution through dependence, coercion or deceit, as a minor or as a recognised trafficking victim is exempt. The Criminal Code punishes profiting from another person's prostitution and procuring (up to five years), organising prostitution (up to six years), directing it (one to seven years) and involving a person in prostitution (up to five years). The Law on the Provision of Information to the Public bans promoting or advertising sexual services in any public information medium. A bill raising fines for buyers to EUR 1,000 to 1,600 passed its first stage in April 2026.
