越南(Vietnam) 前往 拉脱维亚(Latvia) 签证要求

Yes - Vietnamese ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Latvia. Latvia is in the Schengen Area, and Vietnam is on the EU visa-required list (Annex I of Regulation 2018/1806). Apply before you travel; the standard adult fee is EUR 80 and processing usually takes about 15 days. Latvia is a full member of the Schengen Area, and Vietnam is listed in Annex I of EU Regulation 2018/1806 - the list of third countries whose nationals must hold a visa to cross the external Schengen border. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa channel for Vietnamese ordinary passport holders. Travelers must obtain a uniform Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) before departure, which permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area. The standard adult visa fee is EUR 80, and embassy processing is normally completed within 15 calendar days (occasionally extended to 30-45 days). Because Latvia has no visa-issuing mission in Vietnam, applications are submitted in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City through the VFS Global / accredited visa application center acting for Latvia or a representing Schengen state. ETIAS, the upcoming EU travel authorization expected to launch in late 2026, applies only to visa-exempt nationalities; Vietnamese nationals remain visa-required and will continue to apply for a full Schengen visa, so ETIAS does not replace this requirement.
