The Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (hereinafter – the OCMA) has developed a convenient and functional electronic tool (hereinafter – the e-tool) for third-country nationals who legally reside in the territory of the Republic of Latvia. It enables users to quickly and easily obtain information about the process of applying for and receiving a Schengen short-stay visa and a national long-stay visa.
The visa e-tool is available on the OCMA website www.pmlp.gov.lv under the section “Visas and invitations” – “Visa issuance at OCMA.” It provides comprehensive information on:
- applying for a Schengen short-stay visa and a national long-stay visa,
- the submission process for required documents,
- payment conditions and visa issuance, as well as
- the amount of the state fee and payment procedures.
The new visa e-tool helps users become familiar with all requirements step by step, making the process more transparent and convenient, as well as provides a modern and user-friendly way to navigate the extensive information related to long-stay and short-stay visa applications.
The e-tool is available in both Latvian and English: vizucelvedis.pmlp.gov.lv.
