Embassy of the United States Riga, Latvia

The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Riga provides U.S. Citizens Services Monday through Friday between 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Appointments are required, except for emergency services. Situations such as the arrest, serious illness, injury, destitution, or death of a U.S. citizen constitute emergencies. 

Should you require assistance in the mornings, an appointment may be offered Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.; however, that time is reserved for visa applicants, thus you might expect longer waiting time.

We are closed on U.S. federal and Latvian national holidays.
