If I travel through the three Baltic states one after another, can I use a single Latvia eSIM for all of them?

It depends on the type of plan you get from Yeohaengyusim. If you choose a Europe-wide regional plan, you can use one eSIM in several European countries including Estonia and Lithuania as well as Latvia. If you are planning a trip around the three Baltic states, be sure to check which countries a plan covers before you buy.

Does the internet work well in Riga's old town and in outlying areas like Gauja National Park?

Yes. The LMT and Tele2 Latvia networks provide about 97% coverage across Latvia. You can mostly use it reliably not only in central Riga but also at popular destinations such as Gauja National Park, Sigulda and Jūrmala beach. Coverage can be patchy deep in the mountains or in remote natural areas, though.

Does Latvia use the euro? Will I need a lot of cash there?

Yes, Latvia has used the euro (EUR) as its official currency since 2014. Card payment is the norm in cafes, restaurants and shopping malls in central Riga. However, you may sometimes need cash at traditional markets, small shops and on some public transport, so it pays to carry a small amount.

Can I use my Korean smartphone as it is in Latvia? Do I need an adapter?

Latvia uses Type C/F sockets (European style, two round pins). A Korean smartphone charger may be hard to use without an adapter, so we recommend packing a European adapter in advance. The voltage is 230V, similar to Korea (220V), so with just a multi-adapter you don't need to replace the charger itself.

Can I use Google Maps and translation apps smoothly while travelling in Latvia?

Yes. On the Yeohaengyusim eSIM's 4G/LTE network you can use Google Maps, Papago translation, accommodation booking apps and more without any trouble at all. A map app is a huge help in Riga's narrow lanes and when changing public transport, so we strongly recommend installing your eSIM before you arrive.

Does eSIM work in Latvia?

Latvia supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩2,094. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to Latvia?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Which carrier network does a Latvia eSIM use?

In Latvia it connects automatically to local carrier networks such as LMT · Tele2 Latvia · Bite (4G/LTE, 5G where supported). Population coverage is about 97%. It picks the network with the strongest signal automatically, so there is nothing to set up.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in Latvia?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my Latvia eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in Latvia?

Yes. In Latvia you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

Do I set up the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

We recommend installing it (registering the QR code) before you leave, while you have Wi-Fi. Data starts when you turn on data roaming after you arrive in Latvia. Just remember "set up before you leave, switch on when you arrive" and you can use the internet as soon as you land.

Riga's old town with its red roofs and medieval lanes, Art Nouveau architecture designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the vast beaches of the Baltic Sea. Latvia is known among European travellers as a 'still little-known gem of a country'. It may be somewhat unfamiliar to travellers from Korea, but it has a charm that wins over everyone who has been. Many people also combine it with Estonia and Lithuania on a tour of the three Baltic states. On a trip like this, the most important thing is, as always, a stable internet connection. To use map apps, a translator and accommodation booking apps freely in an unfamiliar city, the smartest way is to sort it all out with a single Yeohaengyusim eSIM. With no SIM swap and just one QR code scan, you can be connected from the moment you arrive in Latvia.

Why an eSIM really helps in Latvia

Latvia is a country where more than half the land is forest and nature. Your travel radius often widens beyond central Riga to Gauja National Park, Jūrmala beach and small provincial towns such as Sigulda. On an itinerary like this, moving between the city and the outskirts, a stable data connection is essential. Because the 4G/LTE and 5G networks of LMT and Tele2 Latvia provide 97% coverage across Latvia, you can use the internet fairly smoothly not only in the city but also at destinations out in nature. Especially if you plan to travel through the three Baltic states one after another, it is really convenient to manage everything with a single eSIM, without the hassle of changing SIMs at every border. Install your Yeohaengyusim eSIM on your smartphone before you depart and it connects automatically right after landing at Riga airport, so you don't need to wander around the airport looking for a SIM shop after you arrive. No tedious paperwork or ID needs to be submitted either, and everything from choosing a plan to installing it can be done on your smartphone.
