Travel insurance for Latvia
Short-trip cover for visits to Latvia: emergency medical, trip-cancellation, luggage, the usual travel-insurance stack. Designed for weeks-not-years stays.
Latvia runs a Digital Nomad Visa, introduced in 2022, for remote workers tied to employers or businesses registered in OECD countries, inside the EU and Schengen. The visa makes health cover compulsory, with a stated minimum insurer liability of €42,600, and the standout health risk is tick-borne encephalitis: Latvia has one of the highest rates in Europe.
