Embassy of Germany, Riga, German diplomatic mission in Riga, Latvia
The Embassy of Germany in Riga is an official diplomatic mission located at Raina Bulv. 13 in the city center, serving as the residence and workplace of the German ambassador. The building houses offices for visa processing, passport services, consular assistance, and diplomatic work that supports German interests in Latvia.
The embassy was established to manage diplomatic relations and assist German citizens in Latvia following the country's independence and European integration. Its presence reflects the development of bilateral cooperation between Germany and Latvia, particularly during the period of European reunification and Baltic integration into the European community.
Plan ahead and schedule an appointment before visiting for consular services, as walk-ins are not always accommodated. Opening hours run mainly in the mornings on weekdays, with limited afternoon availability on Wednesdays, and the mission remains closed on Sundays and public holidays.
The building functions both as an administrative office and as the private residence of the German ambassador, making it more than a simple workplace for official business. This dual purpose of housing and office space is common in European embassies and reflects the long-term diplomatic presence in the city.
