US VISA FOR CITIZENS OF LATVIA<\/a><\/p>\n

The US visa is mandatory for all Latvian citizens visiting the country for a brief stay; it is not a choice. In 2008, Latvia became part of the Visa Waiver Program, giving Latvian citizens the option to request an ESTA instead of going through the challenging process of getting a US visa. The visa-free visitor entry requirement in the US is known as the ESTA. Certain countries must complete online registration before visiting the United States. Established in 2009, ESTA was created to handle data from individuals entering the US through the Visa Waiver Program. The data is utilized to ascertain if a visitor presents a security or immigration threat to the United States. An approved ESTA allows US citizens from Latvia to visit the United States for tourism, business, transit, medical, or brief study purposes for up to 90 days per visit. If you plan to stay in the United States longer than 90 days, you must apply for a B1 business visa or a B2 tourist visa. Latvian citizens can use one approved ESTA for multiple visits to the United States. The number of entries into the United States is unlimited. An approved ESTA is valid for two years or until the expiration date of your passport. If your ESTA expires, you will need to apply for a new permit. Once approved, a US ESTA is electronically linked to the applicant\u2019s passport. The application process is digital, the applicant does not have to come to an interview at the US Embassy. Filling out the online application form takes about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
