RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT

The Latvia Residence by Investment Program or Golden Visa, introduced by the Government of the Republic of Latvia in 2010, offers foreign investors the opportunity to obtain residency through several options such as purchasing real estate, investing in a business, purchasing bonds, or investing in the subordinated capital of credit institutions.
