I have a type C multiple-entry visa for Latvia from the German consulate and have R/LV written below the remarks of my business visa. The sticker says "SCHENGENER STAATEN".
This is my first Schengen visa and I want to know that can I land in any Schengen state to start my trip? or do I have to land first in Latvia ?
Secondly is there any restriction on me traveling to other Schengen states as I got a 30 days visa.
R
in the remark means that visa has been issued by representation.LV
is the country code for Latvia. This means that as Latvia does not have an embassy in your country, the Schengen visa has been issued by another member state (Germany) on its behalf. Full list of countries where Latvia is represented by other member states is here. There are no restrictions on your visa except that it is valid for a stay of 30 days.
