Riga, its capital, is a lively, historic city, and the country offers free trade access and a stable regulatory environment.

It provides Schengen mobility and, over time, a path towards citizenship.

Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible for the Latvia programme?
Applicants generally need to be over 18, hold a clean criminal record, be in good health, and show that the funds used come from a legal source. All applications are subject to government due diligence.
Can I include my family in the application?
Yes, including your spouse and dependent children, and on many programmes parents and grandparents. Remy can confirm exactly who qualifies in your case.
What are the stay requirements?
Residency programmes vary. This programme has a low or no mandatory minimum stay to keep your status, though requirements apply if you later pursue citizenship.
What are the tax implications?
Host countries often have a favourable local tax regime, but what that means for you depends on your own citizenship and tax residency. US citizens in particular remain taxed on worldwide income regardless of any other passport held. This is exactly the kind of thing to map out with Remy, alongside independent tax advice.
