Student Visas for Latvia

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa…

Don’t worry, everything is ok. We’re on it, and we’re doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Latvia a little easier and more enjoyable. Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

Check if you really need a student visa.

Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Latvia, yes, you’ll definitely need a long-term (Type D) student visa and a residence permit for studies.

Start exploring the official Latvian visa websites.

For Bangladeshi applicants, the Embassy of Latvia in India handles student visa applications.
That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

Check the deadlines.

The visa process can take several weeks, sometimes 6–8 weeks or more.
Missing a step or delaying your appointment could mean missing the start of your semester — not the kind of plot twist you want.

Go on a paperwork treasure hunt.

Make sure you have all the essentials, such as:

• Valid passport

• Acceptance letter from a Latvian university

• Completed visa application form

• Passport-size photos

• Proof of accommodation in Latvia

• Proof of financial support

• Academic transcripts and certificates

• Language test results (English or Latvian, depending on your programme)

• Health insurance (and possibly a medical certificate or police clearance)

• Motivation letter or interview confirmation (if required)

Start saving up.

You’ll need to prove you can support yourself financially during your stay.
This includes tuition (if applicable), living expenses, visa fees, and your day-to-day needs.

Boost your English or Latvian skills.

Many programmes are in English, but having some knowledge of Latvian helps a lot — especially with daily life, paperwork, and making local connections.

Strong language skills are also helpful for any interviews or written statements.

All in all, getting your Latvian student visa might seem like a lot — but it’s one important step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
