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 the 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 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.

4. When travelling to Jūrmala on weekends, there are often queues at the entry pass machines. Is it possible to pay for the pass in another way and later?
The fee for the day pass can also be paid after entering the city, but the pass must be purchased before the end of the day (23:59) when the vehicle enters Jūrmala.
You can buy a day pass for a specific day using the electronic payment system of the mobile service provider SIA Mobilly, the Citadele Bank mobile app or internet banking, the EuroPark mobile app, the website www.jurmala.lv (you can also do this before coming to Jūrmala), as well as at the entry pass machines located in the city (next to the Tourist Information Centre in Majori parking lot, at Dzintari Concert Hall, at Dubulti railway station and at the Lielupe RIMI parking lot). See the map.
5. Why can’t I pay in cash for an entry pass in Priedaine and Vaivari?
At the entrance to Jūrmala in Priedaine and Vaivari, passes can no longer be paid for with cash – payment can only be made with a payment card or contactless payment means (mobile phone, smart watch, etc.). Cash payments have been cancelled to speed up the payment process for passes and reduce traffic jams. Cash payments often cause delays at passing points – coins tend to get stuck and sometimes unsuitable objects are inserted into the machines, which makes them temporarily unusable.
It will still be possible to pay for the pass in cash at the entry pass machines in the city: at the Rimi supermarket in Lielupe, at Dzintari Concert Hall, at the Majori parking lot, or at the Dubulti station.
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 with the Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) accordingly. As motorcycles need a pass to enter the Jūrmala special regime area, scooters with the appropriate technical characteristics also need a pass.
