Latvia removed Canada for entry at the end of October. I am unsure if they will make an exception for medical reasons, but for that you will need to get guidance from the consualte

Excellent Summary. I have appreciated all the work you have put into keeping this website up to date! My daughter is looking to attend university in Lithuania and there is a lot of confusion on the entry requirements. Do you have any basic info on Lithuania and travel for Canadians? Or do you know if once in Latvia, a Canadian traveller can cross the border into Lithuanian? From what I can see it looks like only air and sea borders are restricted in Lithuania. Any info is helpful! Thanks.

Hi Tammy! I am sorry I do not have any info on Lituania at this time, nor about how entry would work from Latvia

Sorry. I fell into this trap too. Latvia is NOT open to Canadian citizens.
It is open to: 1) Citizens of the EU 2) Residents of the EU 3) Residents of the "safe list" countries (including Canada).
This means: If you are a German citizen, residing in Germany, you can enter If you are a Canadian citizen, residing in Germany, you can enter If you are a German citizen, residing in Canada, you can enter if you are a Canadian citizen, residing in Canada, you can NOT enter.

Sorry Joe, you are misinterpreting the text. Canadian citizens residing in Canada ARE allowed to enter. Here is a direct copy/paste with my discussion with the ministry of the interior.
"Dear Kashlee,
You sent a question to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about whether Latvia will be abiding by the EU's suggestion of letting in travelers from "safe-14" countries. Your e-mail was forwarded to me, as border policy is in the competence of the Ministry of the Interior of Latvia. The answer is yes - the border policy of Latvia towards third party countries will operate in accordance with the EU recommendations. The 14 nations can travel to Latvia now the same way other EU nations can.
Best regards, Beata Jonite Advisor to Minister of the Interior of Latvia"
I have also verified this with other local authorities. It is accurate. Residents of the safe list countries, living in one of those countries, CAN visit Latvia.
