Current Travel Situation
Uzbekistan to Latvia: What You Need to Know
Latvia is a Baltic Schengen member state and a growing destination for business and tourism in Northern Europe. For Uzbek travelers, Latvia is often visited as part of a broader Baltic or Scandinavian itinerary, and the Schengen visa covers all such travel.
Latvia does not maintain a direct embassy in Uzbekistan, so applicants typically submit through a VFS Global center or through another Schengen country's mission that represents Latvia in the region. Riga is Latvia's capital and a UNESCO-listed Art Nouveau city.
The standard Schengen application process applies, with the same documentation requirements as other Schengen states.
Practical Tips
Riga is one of Europe's most affordable capitals. The Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) can be combined on a single Schengen visa itinerary. Apply with the embassy of the country where you will spend the most days.
