As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. The document checklist for Latvia was the single most useful bit — I stopped worrying about missing papers. I submitted on a Tuesday and had my passport back the following Monday. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Simple, clean, and actually helpful. The only small thing — I'd love a dark mode.
