In accordance with the Cabinet of Ministers Regulation No. 662 “Epidemiological Safety Measures for the Containment of the Spread of Covid-19 Infection”, entry into Latvia from abroad has been facilitated for persons vaccinated against Covid-19, as well as persons who have contracted the disease, upon presentation of a valid digital Covid-19 certificate from most countries, except countries with particularly high risk*, may enter Latvia without the mandatory test and without self-isolation, but all persons intending to enter Latvia are still required to fill in an electronic arrival confirmation form on the Covidpass.lv website.
The form is mandatory for all travelers and must be completed no earlier than 48 hours before crossing the border of the Republic of Latvia.
After completing the confirmation form, the traveler will receive a personalized QR code confirming the submission of the data. The code is necessary for carriers, the Health Inspectorate, the State Police, local police, the State Border Guard and the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control to check that the restrictions are being respected.
The most important points about filling in the Covidpass arrival confirmation form
You must confirm your entry to the Republic of Latvia by ticking one of the following statuses on the confirmation form:
- whether or not the person has an interoperable digital COVID-19 certificate, recognized in the European Union, certifying completion of vaccination, the fact of having contracted the disease;
- the person may indicate the reason for entry if he/she falls under one of the exceptions mentioned in the Cabinet of Ministers Regulation No. 662 “Epidemiological Safety Measures for the Containment of the Spread of Covid-19 Infection”, which allows not to present the European digital COVID-19 certificate.
The form must contain the following personal data:
- name, surname;
- personal identification number or travel document number (passport or ID card);
- E-mail address;
- date of entry;
- other information required by the supervisory authorities (countries visited in recent days, contact details, address if necessary, vehicle number, etc.).
You must fill in the form each time for yourself, your children and persons under your guardianship. Each adult must complete the form separately; forms for minors must be filled in by the minors’ parents or legal guardians. Every 30 days, the form may be submitted to the persons referred to in Paragraph 151 of Cabinet Regulation No. 662 “Epidemiological Safety Measures for the Containment of the Spread of Covid-19 Infection”.
After completing the form, the person will receive a personalized QR code on the screen of the device and in their e-mail confirming the submission. If the form is filled in incorrectly, the confirmation form can be filled in again. In case the QR code is lost, the website has a function to “Receive the QR code” again by entering your e-mail address.
Personal data will be stored for 30 days for the purpose of using the information received for epidemiological safety and contact tracing.
