Overview

The property route begins at EUR 250,000 and includes location, cadastral-value, payment-method and seller conditions.

The company route uses EUR 50,000 or EUR 100,000 thresholds depending on the enterprise and also requires the published state-budget payment.

Temporary investor residence, EU long-term residence and naturalisation should be modelled separately.

Physical presence note

Investment may support a temporary permit, but later long-term residence or citizenship requires a separate continuity and presence review.

PR & naturalization

Neither qualifying property nor share capital grants citizenship. Permanent status and naturalisation have additional rules.

Tax note

Permit status and Latvian tax residence are separate; analyse actual residence, ties and applicable treaties. Tax advice is given only by a qualified tax professional.

Documents note

Use the current authority checklist for property or company evidence, funds, insurance, accommodation and admissibility.

Frequently asked

Can any Latvian property qualify?

No. The official route applies value, cadastral, location, transaction and seller conditions.

Is EUR 50,000 the total company-route cost?

No. The investment is only one component; the authority also publishes a state-budget payment and other filing requirements.
