About the embassy
The Embassy’s work includes:
- Promoting Ireland's trade and investment objectives;
- Promoting Irish culture, heritage and tradition;
- Maintaining and enhancing our links with Irish communities abroad.
The Embassy of Ireland in Latvia works closely with Enterprise Ireland and the Irish-Latvian Chamber of Commerce to promote trade, tourism and inward investment.
Since the reestablishment of diplomatic relations there has been a steady pattern of cooperation between our two countries, including State visits by the Presidents of both states.
Latvia opened a resident Embassy in Dublin in 2003, and Ireland was honoured to welcome Latvia into the European Union during our 2004 EU Presidency. In 2005 the Irish Embassy opened in Rīga. It is now situated in a historic building at 13 Alberta Street, in the heart of Rīga’s Art Nouveau district.

- Need basic or specific information about Irish economy, culture, sports, education and more;
- Need info regarding requirements and process of getting Irish Citizenship;
- Specific contacts and information in Ireland
- Want to apply and obtain Irish Visa.
