FAQ

Moving to Latvia: common questions

Residence permits and relocation: seven key questions

Which residence permit route is right for me?

Your route depends on your situation: employment in a Latvian company, investment in company share capital or family reunification. We assess the applicable conditions during a paid legal consultation.

Can I register a company and obtain residence through employment?

Yes, we assist with company registration and assess residence through employment in that company. Registration alone does not grant residence: the employment and applicable salary requirements must be met.

What does the company investment offer involve?

Our offer starts at EUR 100,000 invested in the share capital of a qualifying Latvian company, plus EUR 10,000 paid to the state budget. Legal services, application charges and document-related expenses are separate; the complete budget is agreed for your case.

Can my family relocate with me?

We assess the route for your spouse and children and prepare the family’s documents together. Each family member needs a separate application; residence is not granted automatically.

How long does the process take, and will I need to visit Latvia?

The timing and required visits depend on the route, your documents and the authorities’ review. We discuss the steps and appointments before preparing your application.

How much does the first consultation cost?

A one-hour Legal Consultation costs EUR 100 plus 21% VAT (EUR 21), total EUR 121. Payment is through Stripe, with an invoice from Legal Point SIA. Contact us to agree on the consultation time.

Do you guarantee approval of a residence permit?

No. The immigration authority decides each application. We assess eligibility, prepare the documents and explain the risks; an investment or company registration does not guarantee approval.
