How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original passport and identification/previous-visa copies | required | visa application | Passport issued within ten years, with at least two blank pages and valid at least three months after intended departure from Latvia or the other Schengen state. Provide copies of identification pages and previous-visa pages. |
| Online-completed, printed and signed application | required | visa application | Complete the current official electronic form linked by VFS, print and sign it, and follow the designated application-centre instructions. |
| Purpose checklist: two white-background photos, 35 by 45 mm | required | visa application | All four currently linked purpose PDFs and the mission specify two colour photographs taken within six months, white background, 35 by 45 mm. VFS parent photo prose separately says one; confirm the current submission count. Do not infer the parent prose waives the second checklist photograph. |
| Already valid OCMA-approved invitation: approval number and notification | required | visa application | This guide begins after OCMA has approved the actual visit invitation. Retain its approval number and electronic approval notification and follow its specific dates and conditions. The India checklists require an approved invitation, with six-month wording; do not extend a shorter specified visit period. India acceptance of the number alone is unconfirmed: confirm the submission format. No mandatory original paper certificate or substitution by an unapproved/notarised personal letter is inferred. Initial inviter eligibility and approval are outside this guide. |
| Original three-month personal bank statements, bank-stamped and signed | required | visa application | Provide detailed movements in the applicant’s own private account over the last three months, stamped and signed by the bank. This personally funded hotel scope retains applicant evidence even if the approved invitation identifies an inviter; it does not use national sponsor alternatives to waive the India requirement. |
| Two assessment years of Indian tax acknowledgements | required | visa application | Provide the last two assessment years of Indian income-tax return acknowledgements, in addition to bank and employment evidence. General Delhi guidance retains these even where the currently linked business/private/cultural PDF omits them; omission is not treated as an exemption. |
| Three-month payslips, employment contract and approved leave | required | visa application | Provide all three: payslips for three months, employment contract and employer statement approving holiday/leave. Do not replace these with a single bank statement or conference letter. |
| Bought and confirmed return flights with payment proof | required | visa application | The current India purpose checklist calls for paid, airline-confirmed round-trip tickets. Retain booking and payment evidence; an unpaid reservation is not described as meeting this checklist. This scope begins with those tickets already held; visa approval and recovery of travel costs are not guaranteed. |
| Hotel booking and means to pay | required | visa application | For this patient scope, provide the actual hotel booking and evidence of sufficient means to pay for lodging. The medical PDF does not require hotel prepayment. Do not claim that the treating hospital provides accommodation. |
| Schengen emergency insurance, EUR 30,000 and 15-day grace | required | visa application | Provide at least EUR 30,000 covering urgent medical care/emergency hospital treatment and repatriation in the event of death throughout Schengen. The purpose PDF requires the whole intended visit plus an additional 15 days of grace. The mission general first-trip wording does not establish a waiver of this extra checklist period. Emergency cover is not assumed to pay for planned medical treatment. |
| Latvian or English documents; confirm translation certification | required | visa application | The September 2026 national announcement establishes Latvian or English for visa application documents. Inviter-side invitation/sponsorship attachments have a separate Latvian rule. This does not establish translator qualification, certification declaration, notarisation, binding or authentication of each applicant document. Do not use the superseded five-language rule or import another country’s or a residence-permit checklist. |
| India VFS submission for Latvia Embassy New Delhi | required | visa application | Follow the current official VFS India appointment, personal attendance, biometrics, checklist signature and fee instructions. No Indian state-based receiving-post split was established in the reviewed material. Keep personal copies: mission guidance says submitted documents except the passport are not returned. |
| Allow decision time and application-centre transfer | required | visa application | National guidance normally allows 15 calendar days, with individual extension to a maximum of 45 calendar days. VFS India parent text says ten working days and additional postal time outside Delhi; these are not guaranteed calendar-day deadlines. Current appointments and approval dates are not promised. |
| Medical certificate establishing treatment need | required | visa application | Provide a doctor or medical-institution certificate confirming the need for the specific treatment to be received in Latvia. No universal assertion that treatment is unavailable in India is added. |
| Receiving institution’s treatment capability and patient acceptance | required | visa application | Provide the receiving institution’s official document confirming it can perform the specific treatment and accept this patient. The approved invitation and emergency insurance do not replace this document. |
| Proof of treatment prepayment | required | visa application | Provide treatment prepayment proof. The current checklist does not establish a universal percentage or insurance waiver; full treatment funding must be credible. |
| Sending doctor and receiving institution correspondence | required | visa application | Provide the correspondence between the referring doctor and receiving medical institution required by the actual medical checklist. It is not labelled optional or replaced by a hotel booking. |

Are all documents for Latvia medical treatment automatically translated?

Can I order document processing from this checklist?
