|
| I am aware that
in case of refusal of a permit the State fee is not
recovered. |
| I am aware that a
suitable travel medicinal insurance is requested for my first
stay and next visits to the border territory of Latvia. |
|
I am aware and agree that provision of the data requested
in this application form, taking a photograph of me and, if
necessary, taking of fingerprints, is mandatory for
examination of the permit application; all personal data
which apply to me and are specified in the application
form, as well as my photograph and fingerprints, will be
transferred to the relevant competent authorities of the
Republic of Latvia for processing in order to take a
decision regarding my permit application.
These data, as well as the data regarding the decision
taken on my permit application or decision to annul or
revoke the issued permit, will be entered and stored in the
information system of the Republic of Latvia - the National
Visa Information System (NVIS) - for five years and will be
accessible for the permit issuing authorities and the
authorities which are competent to carry out permit checks
at the external borders and in the territory of the
Republic of Latvia, as well as the immigration and asylum
granting authorities which are competent to carry out
permit checks at the external borders and in the territory
of the Republic of Latvia, as well as the immigration and
asylum granting authorities to verify whether conditions
regarding legal entry and stay in the border territory of
the Republic of Latvia specified in the international
regulatory enactments binding on Latvia are observed, to
identify persons who fail to comply with these conditions,
to examine asylum requests and determine who shall perform
such an examination. The data will be available also for
the competent authorities in order to prevent, disclose and
investigate terroristic offences and other serious criminal
offences. The authority responsible for data processing
shall be the Office of Citizenship and Migration
Affairs.
I am aware that I have the right to receive a
notification regarding the data applying to me and entered
in the NVIS and to ask to correct the data applying to me
and entered inaccurately and to delete the data applying to
me and processed illegally. Upon my special request, the
authority examining my application shall inform me on how
I, in accordance with regulatory enactments of the Republic
of Latvia, can implement my rights to check the personal
data applying to me and to ask to correct or delete them,
as well as regarding possible legal protection means. Data
State Inspectorate (info@dvi.gov.lv) will listen to
complaint regarding personal data protection.
I attest that all the information provided by me is
correct and complete. I am aware that because of the
provision of false information my permit application will
be denied, the issued permit annulled or revoked, as well
as I can be punished in accordance with the regulatory
enactments of the Republic of Latvia.
I undertake to stay in the border territory of the
Republic of Latvia no longer than duration of stay
specified in the local border traffic permit and depart
from the border territory of the Republic of Latvia until
the end of the period of validity specified in the local
border traffic permit, if the local border traffic permit
will be issued.
I am informed that the local border traffic permit only
certifies that a person has requested a permit for entry
and stay in the border territory of the Republic of Latvia
and that the local border traffic permit issuing authority
in accordance with the competence thereof does not make out
any obstacles for the entry and stay of a person in the
border territory of the Republic of Latvia during the time
period specified in the local border traffic permit. The
fact of issue of the local border traffic permit does not
mean that I will have the right to compensation, if my
behaviour will not comply with the provisions of Section 4,
Paragraph one and Section 4.1 of the Immigration
Law and thus the entry will be refused for me. Upon entry
in the border territory of the Republic of Latvia, the
preconditions for entry will be verified once again.
I am informed that a local border traffic permit does
not give the right to work paid employment in the Republic
of Latvia.
