→ Latvia visa for Irish citizens

As an Ireland passport holder, you can enjoy visa-free travel to Latvia for tourist purposes, allowing for a pleasant stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. With no visa fee to worry about for this category, your budget can focus on the approximately €500 round-trip flight cost typically seen during the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn, avoiding the peak summer crowds. You'll find that while English is widely understood in tourist areas, learning a few basic Latvian phrases like "Paldies" (thank you) will greatly enhance your interactions outside the capital, Riga.
