Residence in Latvia by Investment (EU) — Company or Real Estate
EU & Schengen residence in Latvia through company or real estate investment. End-to-end management, a single all-inclusive service fee.
Latvia, a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, offers a business-friendly tax system and reasonable investment thresholds — making it a strong option for those seeking EU residence. At Resida Global we manage the Latvian residence process end to end, execute the local legal work through our trusted local partner, and offer it to you under a single, transparent service fee.
Two Routes: Company Investment or Real Estate
1) Residence via company investment: the legal minimum for investing in a Latvian company is €50,000 + €10,000 state fee. However, for a smooth process and a strong application, investments of €150,000 and above are preferred; a visible contribution to the national economy strengthens the case.
2) Residence via real estate: the minimum investment through property purchase is €250,000, plus 5% of the property value transferred to the state budget.
In both routes, the source and origin of funds are examined thoroughly, so structuring the process correctly from the start is critical.
How We Work
We manage the client relationship from start to finish; the local legal process in Latvia is executed by our local legal partner. Including the local partner's fee, we offer you a single all-inclusive service fee (7-10%). This fee is calculated on a minimum base of €150,000, even for smaller investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum investment for Latvian residence?
For company investment the legal minimum is €50,000 + €10,000 state fee; for real estate it is at least €250,000 (plus 5% of the value as a state contribution).
Why is a €150,000 base recommended?
Lower investments are viewed as weaker by both local authorities and our partner; €150,000+ demonstrates the seriousness of the application and its economic contribution. Accordingly, our service fee is calculated on a minimum base of €150,000.
What does your service fee cover?
The 7-10% fee is all-inclusive: pre-assessment, document preparation, executing the investment, the residence application and the local legal partner’s fee. No separate local lawyer fee applies.
How is the source of funds proven?
The legal source and origin of funds (bank records, sale/income documents, etc.) are examined thoroughly. We clarify this in the pre-assessment to structure the process correctly from the start.
How long does it take?
Once documents and the investment are ready, the process typically takes ~2-4 months; it varies by case.
Is my family included?
Yes, a spouse and dependent children can be included; we clarify the details in the pre-assessment.
How often must I renew the residence?
The residence is renewed periodically and depends on maintaining the investment/conditions; we plan renewals together.
Is there a path to permanent residence or citizenship?
With a period of legal residence and meeting the conditions, paths to permanent residence and then citizenship exist; we assess current conditions for your case.
Is prepayment required?
The process generally runs on a prepayment basis; we define the payment plan clearly in the contract.
