Summary

Headline: Russian tourists in 2024? No thanks, says Latvia

Short Summary: Latvia extends entry restrictions on Russian citizens as a security measure due to ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Description

On February 27, 2024, Latvia's government decided to extend restrictions on the entry of Russian citizens, citing Russia’s ongoing aggression in Ukraine and continued security risks.

Evidence

Quotes

Latvia's government on February 27 decided to extend restrictions on the entry of Russian citizens to the country given Russia's continuing aggression in Ukraine and it 'still posing threat to the internal security of Latvia'.

Restrictions on entry will still apply to Russian citizens who wish to cross the external border of Latvia for the purposes of tourism or leisure, so weekend breaks and similar motives remain forbidden.

In September 2022, the Baltic States and Poland made an agreement on a joint regional solution to restrict the flow of the citizens of Russia over partner security risks, and each introduced similar measures.
