What are the conditions for visa-free fees in Latvia

When applying for a Latvian visa, you need to pay a visa fee. Depending on the exchange rate and visa policy, the Latvian visa fee is different. Moreover, the Latvian Visa Center has also introduced a visa-free policy. Applicants who meet the policy can be exempted from paying Latvian visa fees. What is Latvia's visa-free policy?

Visa-free fee policy

1. Children under the age of 6 at the time of submission of the visa application.

2. Admission of school pupils, students, graduate students and accompanying teachers for research or educational training purposes.

3. Third country travel for the purpose of scientific research.

4. Representatives of non-profit organizations, aged 25 or under, to attend seminars, conferences, sports, cultural or educational activities organized by non-profit organizations.

Family members of EU/EEA countries and Swiss nationality.

If the applicant meets the above conditions, there is no need to pay the visa fee when submitting the Latvian visa application, but the applicant also needs to pay attention to the following points.

1. When submitting a visa application, there is no need to pay the visa fee charged by the Latvian Embassy, but you still need to pay the service fee of the Latvian Visa Center.

2. If the applicant has purchased other value-added services of the Latvian Visa Center, which are not related to the Latvian Embassy, any fees of the Visa Center need to be paid by the applicant.

3. Latvian embassies do not charge visa fees for children under the age of 6, but Latvian embassies also have a half-price policy. For example, applicants aged 6-12 charge half-price Latvian visas.

4. When using the visa-free fee of the Latvian visa center, the applicant needs to submit different certificates according to different conditions, so it is still necessary to prepare the visa fee when submitting the visa application, so as not to make a trip for nothing.
