Latvia residence by investment

The Latvian Residence by Investment Program was established in 2010, allowing foreign nationals to legally seek a residence through financial contribution, be it through the investment into the equity of a Latvian company, a bank deposit in a Latvian bank, or though the purchase of interest-free government bonds. The applicant for residency may include his spouse and children under the age of 18.

Initially, a temporary residence is issued for five years with an ID renewal required every year. After five years of temporary residence, the applicant and his family may apply for permanent residence status under the conditions that they pass the A2 Latvian language test and show a history of physical residency in Latvia for four out of the five years. Only then, are permanent residence holders eligible to apply for Latvian citizenship, under the condition that they further demonstrate a history of physical residence in Latvia for another four out of five years
