Latvia Visa Information

Visitor Entry Rules & Tourist Visa Options for Latvia

Latvia, known for its medieval old towns, Baltic coastline, and vibrant culture, follows Schengen Area entry rules for tourists. Travelers from visa-exempt countries can visit Latvia for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without needing a visa, making short trips simple and flexible.

Those who require authorization must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C) before traveling. This visa permits short-term stays for leisure, sightseeing, or visiting friends and family. Applicants generally need a valid passport, travel insurance, accommodation proof, financial documents, and a return or onward ticket.

For longer stays or reasons beyond tourism, visitors must apply for the appropriate long-stay visa or residence permit. Latvia offers visas for study, employment, business, and family reunification, but extended tourist-only visas are not typically available.
