The Latvia Residency by Investment program is a residency permit scheme designed for non-EU citizens seeking to obtain a legal residence status in Latvia through investment.
Latvia introduced this program in 2010 as part of its efforts to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic growth after the global financial crisis. Since its launch, the program has helped increase foreign capital inflow and business development in the country.
The Latvia Residency by Investment program offers investment options primarily in real estate acquisition or capital investment in local businesses or bank deposit, allowing applicants to secure a temporary residence permit, which can lead to permanent residency and eventually citizenship under certain conditions.
