加拿大(Canada) 前往 拉脱维亚(Latvia) 签证要求

No visa needed. Canadian ordinary passport holders can visit Latvia visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period as a Schengen short-stay visitor. Latvia is a member of the Schengen Area, and Canada is on the EU's visa-exempt list. As of May 2026, holders of an ordinary Canadian passport may enter Latvia for tourism without a visa for short stays of up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. The 90-day allowance is shared across the entire Schengen Area, not per country. No application or fee is required before travel. Two systems affect entry: the Entry/Exit System (EES), operational since 12 October 2025, registers non-EU travellers (including biometrics) automatically at the border at no cost; and ETIAS, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, which is expected to begin operation in late 2026 (Q4) with a transitional grace period before becoming mandatory. ETIAS is NOT yet required as of this verification date, so Canadians currently need only a valid passport. The passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date from the Schengen Area and ideally issued within the last 10 years. Canada has no separate bilateral arrangement overriding Schengen rules; the visa-free status flows from the EU short-stay visa waiver.
