Please note that more detailed instructions, “How [not] to Get Lost in Riga”, will be sent to the participants later.

Visas
Citizens of some countries outside the EU may be required to obtain a visa to enter Latvia. Please check the list of countries that have a visa-free regime with Latvia on the website of the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Convening Team will do our best to help you obtain a Latvian visa. Please ask us for such assistance as early as possible, since the process may take a considerable amount of time for some countries.
