Spain to Latvia visa requirements
No. As a Spanish citizen, you do not need a visa to visit Latvia. Both Spain and Latvia are EU and Schengen members, so you travel under EU freedom of movement with just a valid passport or national ID card, for stays of any length. Spain and Latvia are both members of the European Union and the Schengen Area. A Spanish ordinary passport holder enjoys full EU freedom of movement and can enter Latvia for tourism, business, or any short visit without a visa, simply by presenting a valid Spanish passport or national identity card (DNI). Because this is movement between two EU member states, the Schengen 90/180-day short-stay rule does NOT apply to Spanish nationals, and stays can continue indefinitely; if a Spanish citizen intends to live or work in Latvia for more than 3 months, they only need to register their residence locally and obtain a registration certificate (not a visa or residence permit). Spanish citizens are also explicitly exempt from ETIAS, the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) biometric registration, and any visa fee — these apply only to non-EU visa-exempt nationals. Crossing from Spain to Latvia is travel within the Schengen Area, so there are normally no systematic border checks, though carrying ID is still required and temporary checks can occasionally be reinstated.
