Visa Free — 116 countries

A Latvian passport grants the right to cross the borders of European Union countries without visas, as well as to conduct business, reside permanently, and study in any of the Member States.

27 countries of the European Union (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and other)

Visa on Arrival — 46 countries

A Latvian passport grants the right to visit more than 40 countries without obtaining a visa at a consulate or online — this can be done upon arrival at the destination point.

ETA (electronic travel authorization) — 8 countries

With a Latvian passport, it is possible to cross the borders of a number of countries without visiting a consulate or visa center — the visa may be obtained online, which takes minimal time.

It is important to emphasize the advantages enjoyed by Latvian citizens when applying for entry permits to the United States and Canada. The refusal rate for U.S. visas for Latvian citizens is approximately 11%, which is substantially lower than the global average and significantly better than the average figures for CIS countries, where the refusal rate reaches 40–45%. Canadian visas are granted to Latvian citizens in 89% of cases, making Latvia one of the leading countries in Europe in terms of visa approval rates due to the high level of trust in Latvian passports and EU membership.
