Hi Sara!

you can create an event layer in EPSG 4326 without problem. It's the 
same than in UTM.

For that you have two options:

- Loading the CSV file from the Project manager and "Table" document, 
and then from a View in 4326 you access to the "Event layer" option. 
Then you select the CSV file, and "Latitude" for "Y" and "Longitude" for 
"X". It's a virtual layer because it's a table, you will have to export 
it to SHP format to have a point layer.

- In a View in 4326 you access to "Add layer", and from "File" you add 
the CSV file. You select it at that window and accessing to Properties, 
and "Geometry" tab, you can select fields for Latitude and Longitude. 
It's also a virtual layer because it's a table, so you will have to 
export it to SHP format to have a point layer.

Best regards,
   Mario
