Latvia
eSIM.Fast 5G data plans. Instant activation, no SIM swap.

The best Latvia eSIM runs on LMT and Tele2, with 5G in Riga and the larger towns and strong 4G along the long Kurzeme coastline and through the Gauja valley. Like its Baltic neighbours, Latvia has better rural and coastal coverage than its population density would suggest. Plans are prepaid with no contract, your QR code arrives by email within seconds, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee. Two honest notes: Latvia is in the EU and uses the euro, so an EU SIM's roam-like-at-home allowance may already cover you, and most visitors do all three Baltic countries — in which case the Europe regional plan covers the whole route.

Getting online in Latvia takes about two minutes. Confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Latvia plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you travel, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it. Switch the line on at Riga airport and turn on Data Roaming for that line only. If you're arriving by bus from Tallinn or Vilnius — the standard Baltic route — switch it on after the border.

Riga has widespread free Wi-Fi and Latvia is compact, so most travellers use 1–3 GB across a week — roughly 300 MB a day covers maps, messaging and email. A 3 GB plan comfortably covers a fortnight. Coverage is strong where visitors go: Riga's UNESCO Old Town and Art Nouveau district, Jūrmala's beach strip, Sigulda and the castles, and the west-coast towns of Liepāja and Ventspils. It thins on the Gauja forest trails and the Latgale back roads, so download an offline map before a walking day or a rural drive.

Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Latvian data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. Set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Latvian networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM on for messages and calls, or switch it off to avoid your own carrier's charges.

Every Flysimio Latvia plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion. As a data-only eSIM it has no Latvian phone number, but WhatsApp is widely used and FaceTime and Google Meet handle calls over data, while your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. Latvia is close to cashless like the rest of the Baltics, so card and a working data connection cover essentially everything.

For a Riga city break, the 1 GB / 7-day plan is the economical choice. For a week or more adding Jūrmala, Sigulda and the Kurzeme coast, a 3–5 GB plan gives you room to spare, and there's a 20 GB option for a longer stay. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Latvia. If you're doing the classic Baltic route — Tallinn four hours north, Vilnius four hours south — buy the Europe regional plan rather than three separate country plans.
