Visa

Latvia is a member of the European Union/European Economic Area; therefore, participants from countries with the statute of co-members do not require a VISA.
Some non-EU countries will require a VISA in order to travel to Latvia.

To check whether you need a VISA, please visit the website of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs (http://www.mfa.gov.lv/en/consular-information/countries-whose-citizens-may-enter-latvia-without-a-visa) .

Applying for a VISA can take a lot of time – it is very important that you start to arrange your VISA application as soon as possible

Attendees can request a visa invitation letter at any time by sending an e-mail at info.isc@rsu.lv In order to receive it, attendees requiring a visa invitation letter will need to include in the e-mail they send us the following information:
