菲律宾(Philippines) 前往拉脱维亚(Latvia) 签证要求

Q: Can I use ETIAS instead of a visa?

No. ETIAS is only for visa-exempt nationalities. Because the Philippines is visa-required for the Schengen Area, Filipinos must apply for a full Schengen visa, not ETIAS.

Q: Where do I apply since Latvia has no embassy in the Philippines?

Latvia is represented by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Manila. Applications are submitted through VFS Global in Makati.

Q: How long can I stay in Latvia on a Schengen visa?

Up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area, subject to the validity printed on your visa.

Q: How much does the Schengen visa cost?

The standard adult visa fee is EUR 80 (around PHP 4,620), plus a VFS Global service fee and the cost of travel insurance.

Q: How early should I apply?

You can apply up to 6 months before travel and should submit at least 15 working days in advance; applying about one month ahead is recommended.

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before traveling to Latvia. The Philippines is not on the EU visa-exempt list, so ETIAS does not apply to Filipino nationals. Latvia is a member of the Schengen Area. Holders of an ordinary Philippine passport are NOT visa-exempt for the Schengen Area, so they must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) in advance for tourism or short visits. Because the Philippines is a visa-required nationality, ETIAS (the EU travel authorisation launched in 2026 for visa-exempt travellers) does NOT apply to Filipino passport holders. The Schengen short-stay visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen Area. Latvia does not maintain an embassy in the Philippines; visa applications are handled by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Manila, which represents Latvia, with biometrics and document submission processed through VFS Global in Makati. The standard adult visa fee is EUR 80 plus a VFS service fee, with a normal decision time of about 15 calendar days. Applicants must show travel medical insurance with at least EUR 30,000 coverage valid throughout the Schengen Area, confirmed accommodation, return travel, and sufficient funds. Note that since 2026 the Entry/Exit System (EES) records entries and exits digitally instead of stamping passports, but this is a border-control system and does not change the visa requirement.
