This applies in the event that you wish to visit Latvia for tourism or work purposes. The Latvian government require evidence that you intend to live forever in the nation. You must visit Latvia for at least 3 years in order to be qualified for Latvian citizenship. In order to achieve this quota (3 years) you need to see Latvia every year for at least 90 days.

You may obtain a Latvian visa at any reputable Latvian travel service. Some of these agencies even offer you a Latvian visa waiver, which means you do not have to pay any penalties for getting the visa. These agencies may charge some fees, but if you find yourself in Latvian without a visa it is frequently feasible to extend your stay by revealing evidence which you have an intention to return to the country. Many international visitors cannot obtain a visa directly, and it's thus important that they seem to Latvian travel agents for assistance. These travel agents may arrange for the processing of a Latvian visa.

It's simpler for residents of UK with a passport from another European Union state to apply for a Latvian visa. The sole requirement is that you need to live in Latvia for at least three decades. There are not any plans to change the law relating to the residency conditions in the long run. However, as an EU resident you will normally have to complete an internet program for a Latvian visa.

You must complete the application form and submit it to the assigned authorities before or on the deadline dates indicated on the form. If you submit it after the deadlines, it may not be accepted. Once you have completed your application form, you should continue to wait until the Latvian embassy receives it.
