라트비아: 출발 전에 알아둘 것

핵심

  • Check whether the national travel declaration applies; where required, submit at least 48 hours before entry.
  • A declaration does not override visa requirements or Russian tourist-entry restrictions.

입국과 비자

Latvia follows Schengen rules, including external-border EES checks, and also has its own Electronic Travel Declaration. Non-exempt travellers without a Latvian visa or residence permit must submit it at least 48 hours before entry. It is not a visa or entry permit. Russian tourist-entry restrictions also apply; check exceptions before booking.
