The ETIAS application is streamlined and can be done 100% online. This guide will take you through the details of the Latvia ETIAS for UK Citizens, ensuring your trip to Latvia is smooth and worry-free.

Do citizens of the UK require a Latvia visa or ETIAS?

Currently, UK citizens benefit from visa-free entry to Latvia for short visits. However, a significant change will take place in 2025.

The European Union, to bolster border security, will introduce the ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) for non-EU visitors, including those from the United Kingdom.

This travel authorization, aimed at enhancing security measures, will require UK citizens to register for an ETIAS before visiting Latvia for tourism, business, short-term education, or cultural trips.

The good news is that the entire application process for this multiple-entry permit can be done online. Learn more about the Latvia ETIAS.
