Latvia entry requirements: What to know

🔹 Safety and security contribution: The Latvia Electronic Travel Authorization helps collect information on visitors who’ve obtained the right to enter the country through means outside of Latvian immigration authorities’ control.

Generally, this would be travelers holding a Schengen visa from another Schengen Area country. The ETD supports the capabilities of Latvian authorities to monitor, identify, and prevent risks to state and public security.

🔹 Editable before arrival: If your travel plans change or you notice a typo, you can still edit your submitted eArrival Card online as long as it's more than 48 hours before your trip.

🔹No need to carry a printed copy: The ETD does not require printing – immigration officers access it electronically. Still, some travelers save a PDF or screenshot as a backup.

🔹 New trip, new form: A fresh form is required every time you enter Latvia.

“New forms and immigration regulations can be confusing,” says John B, an iVisa travel contributor, “...especially with every second government adding an ETA or declaration form. But with iVisa, the application process is simplified, bringing order to the travel chaos of our modern world.”
