Indian passport holders are required to obtain a Latvia Visit Visa before travelling to Latvia. Since India does not have a visa-free arrangement with the Schengen area, all Indian nationals must apply for a Schengen visa regardless of the purpose of their visit. The visa must be obtained prior to departure, and travelling to Latvia without a valid visa is not permitted. It is advisable to begin the application process well in advance of your intended travel date to ensure sufficient time for processing and document preparation.
