→ Latvia visa for Canadian citizens
Canadian citizens are welcome to enjoy visa-free travel to Latvia, permitting stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism or business. As the first G7 nation to recognize Latvia's restored independence in 1991, Canada shares a unique historical bond with this Baltic country, making for a warm welcome. While direct flights are uncommon, travelers can typically connect through major European hubs like Frankfurt or Copenhagen en route to Riga, where the Euro is the official currency. For longer visits or specific purposes, such as work or study, three distinct visa types are available to facilitate your extended stay.
