San Marino citizens can enter Latvia without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid San Marino passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Latvia applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Latvia lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. San Marino citizens are treated the same way as Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Overall the San Marino passport ranks #50 in the world with 102 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a San Marino passport you can also visit 44 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Armenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria and Belarus.
In the other direction, Latvia citizens can visit San Marino visa-free.

The EU's Travel to Europe site says that the first time you arrive at a border crossing point since the EES started, passport control officers will take a photo of your face and/or scan your fingerprints, and that this can be quicker if you register some of your data in advance, using the self-service system if available at your border crossing point and/or a mobile application if the country of arrival or departure makes one available. The UK government tells British travellers that they do not need to take any action before arriving at the border on entry to the Schengen area, and that there is no cost for EES registration.

Staying in Latvia without a valid travel document, visa, residence permit, travel authorisation or other required document, or otherwise breaching the conditions of stay, is punished by a warning or a fine of up to seventy fine units. One fine unit is five euro. A foreigner found staying unlawfully is issued a departure order, except in cases set in the law, with 7 to 30 days to comply. Breaching the entry and stay rules in Latvia or another Schengen state within the last year is one of the grounds listed for inclusion in the entry-ban list; the entry ban is then set at 30 days to three years.
