If your country of residence is outside the European Union EU and you are flying to a country outside the boundaries of the EU, you may receive a VAT refund at Riga International Airport for your purchases by presenting a Global Blue Tax Free receipt together with a cash register receipt.
The receipts and the purchased goods prior to departure from Riga Airport must be presented for inspection to the officer of the Customs Service of the Republic of Latvia who will check them and make a note on the purchase receipt.
If you intend to put your purchases into the hold baggage, please inform the agent at your flight check-in counter or the Airport Information desk of the necessity to make a VAT refund before checking the baggage in. The agent or the Airport information officer will call the Customs officer to check the goods and make a note on the purchase receipts. Upon finishing this procedure, if you depart from Sector E, go to the Eurex Capital currency exchange bureau to arrange for a cash refund, whereas, if you depart from Sector C, put the completed documents into a special TAX FREE box, and the cash will be refunded and paid into the bank account indicated by you.
If you plan to carry your purchases in the cabin baggage and if you depart from Sector E, go to the Eurex Capital currency exchange bureau.
