Entry requirements to Latvia changed as of 1 April 2022
Beginning 1 April 2022, travellers entering Latvia will no longer need to present an interoperable vaccination or recovery certificate, or proof of a negative COVID-19 test result.
Entering Latvia from very high risk countries is forbidden. At present Latvia has not assigned any country to that category. Follow updates on the website of the Centre for Disease control and Prevention at: https://www.spkc.gov.lv/lv
A ban on entry from very high risk countries does not apply to persons travelling to the Republic of Latvia for a compelling purpose of employment, execution of obligations or invitations stipulated by law enforcement authorities (the Prosecutor’s Office, court), training, studies, family reunification, receipt of medical services, transit or accompanying of minor children, and also to return to their place of permanent residence or to attend a funeral or entering due to other humanitarian reasons.
