Study in Latvia

• Verify the language requirements for your chosen program. In Latvia, many programs are offered in English, but some may be in Latvian or Russian. Ensure you meet the language requirements and, if necessary, take language proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL.

Gather your academic records, including transcripts, diplomas, and certificates. You may need to provide certified translations and/or evaluations of your academic credentials.

Check if your selected program requires standardized tests or entrance exams. Prepare and take the necessary exams if required. Some universities may conduct their own entrance exams.

Explore scholarship opportunities for international students in Latvia. Research government scholarships, university-specific scholarships, and external funding sources to support your studies.

Craft a strong Curriculum Vitae (CV) highlighting your academic and extracurricular achievements. Write a compelling motivation letter explaining why you're interested in the program and how it aligns with your goals.

Carefully follow the application instructions provided by your chosen Latvian university. Most universities have online application portals where you'll submit your application, academic documents, CV, and motivation letter.

• Determine the visa requirements for your home country. Apply for a long-stay student visa or residence permit at the Latvian embassy or consulate. Ensure you have all the necessary documentation, including your letter of acceptance.

Develop a detailed financial plan to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other costs during your studies in Latvia. Consider opening a local bank account for convenience.

Once your visa is approved, arrange your travel to Latvia. Make housing arrangements and plan your arrival in advance. Participate in university orientation programs to get acclimated to your new academic and cultural environment.
