Frequently asked questions about entry passes in Jūrmala

 
1. I arrived in Jūrmala yesterday, but I forgot to buy a pass. Is it possible to buy a retroactive pass? 

The pass for the previous day can be purchased electronically on this section by selecting the date from yesterday in the calendar.
 

2. We are planning to come to Jūrmala (Lielupe) by car for several days in the summer, but we will get around the city on foot or by bicycle. Do we need to buy a pass for each day? 

The fee is charged for entering the Jūrmala special regime area  (see map), so you only need to buy a day pass for the day of entry. The period of stay in the Jūrmala special regime area (without leaving) is not limited. 

3. On the weekend, I will go by car from Riga to visit my friends who live in Jūrmala, Valteri, and I will go back the following day. Do I have to buy a pass for both days? 

When driving through the city centre, you will cross the special regime area twice – first, at the Priedaine checkpoint and then at Valtera prospekts on the way back. As you will enter the Jūrmala special regime area on different days, a day pass must be purchased for each day.

Please note that signs Paid Area have been installed in front of the entrances to the special regime area in Jūrmala to inform drivers.

 
4. When travelling to Jūrmala on weekends, queues often form at entry permit vending machines. Is it possible to pay for the permit in another way and later?

The fee for a one-day entry permit may also be paid after entering the city. However, the permit must be purchased by the end of the same day (23:59) on which the vehicle entered Jūrmala.

A one-day permit for a specific date can be purchased via:

• the electronic payment system of the mobile service provider “Mobilly”;
• the Citadele Bank mobile application or internet banking;
• the EuroPark mobile application;
• the website visitjurmala.lv (this can also be done before travelling to Jūrmala);
• entry permit vending machines located in the city: in Priedaine near the Lielupe Bridge; at the RIMI Lielupe supermarket parking area, Viestura Street 22; on Edinburgas Prospect under the Dzintari railway overpass; near Dzintari Concert Hall, Turaidas Street 1; at the Majori parking area, Lienes Street 5; near Dubulti Railway Station; and in Vaivari, at the intersection of Talsu Highway and Asaru Prospect (see map).

6. I plan to go to Jūrmala by car with a trailer. Do I also need to buy a pass for the trailer? 

Since the trailer is intended to be driven in conjunction with a motor vehicle, a separate pass for the trailer is not required. 

 
7. Do I need a pass to enter Jūrmala by scooter? 

If the engine capacity exceeds 50 cc and the maximum speed exceeds 45 km/h, the scooter meets the definition of a motorcycle and is registered accordingly with the Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD). As motorcycles need a pass to enter the Jūrmala special regime area, scooters with the appropriate technical characteristics also need a pass.
