Latvia's government has announced the extension of restrictions on the entry of Russian citizens into the country until March 4, 2025. This decision comes in response to Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which officials believe continues to pose a threat to the internal security of Latvia.
According to a statement released by the Cabinet of Prime Minister Evika Silina, Russian citizens will remain prohibited from entering Latvia for tourism and leisure purposes. However, certain exceptions will be made for individuals with valid residence permits in Latvia or another EU member state, as well as those entering for humanitarian reasons such as political dissidents.
