Due to the limited capacity of the Consular Section of the Embassy, visitor reception is carried out to a restricted extent. Priority is given to providing consular assistance to Latvian nationals in emergency situations, serving clients whose purpose of entry into Latvia is related to humanitarian considerations (such as serious illness of a close relative or attending funeral), as well as ensuring services that can only be obtained at the Embassy. For services that can be obtained without the involvement of the embassy (for example, various certificates, citizenship registration, obtaining a birth certificate, etc.), please contact the relevant Latvian institutions directly. Information can be found on the Embassy’s website and on the websites of the competent Latvian institutions.
Please note that all payments at the Embassy can be processed only by bank cards: VISA; VISA Electron; VPAY; MasterCard; Maestro. Payments with cards issued by Russian banks is not possible. Use of gadgets for payments (smartphones, watches, bracelets etc.) is not permitted.
