The resort town of Jurmala is located in Latvia, which is part of the countries that have signed the Schengen agreement. Therefore, to get to Jurmala, Russian citizens need a visa. If you are planning to spend most of your vacation in Jurmala, then it is best to do a Latvian visa. The following documents will be needed for her.
Instructions
Step 1
Passport valid for at least 90 days after the end of the trip. A copy must be made from the first page, which contains personal data.
Step 2
Application form for a visa. Filled in in Latin letters on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia. After the questionnaire is filled out, you will get several sheets, one of which will be a page with a bar code. All this must be printed and signed. Forms filled in by hand or on a computer not through the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia are accepted in exceptional cases, for example, if the application is submitted through the Hungarian consulate in Yekaterinburg.
Step 3
Two photographs measuring 3, 5 x 4, 5 cm, made on a uniform white background, without corners, frames and ovals.
Step 4
Confirmation of the purpose of the stay. If you have purchased a tour to the country, then you need to attach a voucher from the travel agency. If you book hotels, you should print the reservation with all the details from the website or ask the hotel to send you a fax. It is highly desirable that the hotel has already been paid for, sometimes they require documents confirming the fact of prepayment.
Step 5
Those who travel to Latvia on a private visit must show an invitation from a Latvian citizen. It is certified by the Office of Citizenship and Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country or by a notary. A citizen of Latvia can write an invitation while in Russia. To do this, he needs to appear at his consulate. If at least one of the parents of the visa applicant is Latvian, then it is enough to confirm this with the help of documents, and you will not need to issue an invitation. The same applies to those who have Latvian nationality.
Step 6
Insurance policy (original and copy), which will be valid throughout the Schengen territory for the entire period of stay plus an additional 15 days on top. The amount of coverage must be € 30,000. Be careful, the insurance company must be accredited by the Latvian consulate.
Step 7
Photocopies of all pages of the Russian passport that contain information. When you bring the documents to the consulate, you need to take your passport with you and show it.
Step 8
Tickets confirming the route. This can be a copy of train tickets or a printout of airline ticket reservations from the Internet.
Step 9
Certificate from the place of work, which indicates the position and salary of the visa applicant. It must be issued on a letterhead, confirmed with a seal and signed by the manager.
Step 10
Account statement (sometimes a statement disclosing the movement of funds for the last three months is required) or traveler's checks, the total amount must be at least 45 euros for each day of stay in the country per person.
Step 11
If your expenses are paid by a third party, then you will need a sponsorship letter from him, as well as a certificate from his place of work and a bank statement. You also need to make a copy of the first page from his passport, which contains personal data.
