What Makes Latvia a Top Investment Choice
One of the strongest reasons global investors choose Latvia is the opportunity to obtain European residency through property investment. By purchasing qualifying real estate, investors may become eligible for a Latvian residence permit, which provides access to the Schengen Zone, allowing free travel across most of Europe. This makes Latvia especially appealing for buyers seeking both a secure investment and enhanced global mobility.
Beyond residency advantages, Latvia offers a stable and transparent EU-regulated property market with competitive pricing and strong rental demand. Riga, in particular, continues to attract expats, students, and professionals, driving steady income opportunities for investors. With its strategic location, expanding business environment, and growing interest in waterfront living, Latvia provides a balanced blend of lifestyle, financial, and immigration benefits—making it one of Europe’s most compelling investment destinations.

How Property Investors Can get residency when you buy property in Latvia

For many international buyers, one of the biggest advantages when you buy property in Latvia is the opportunity to apply for a Latvian Temporary Residence Permit (TRP). This permit provides legal residency

in an EU and Schengen member state, allowing investors and their families to enjoy greater mobility, lifestyle benefits, and long-term prospects in Europe.

Below is a clear breakdown of how the process works for property investors:

1. Choose a Qualifying Property

Your first step is selecting real estate that meets Latvia’s residency program requirements.
In most cases, the property must be:

  • Purchased from a private seller (not a company you own)

     

  • Located in Latvia, with preference for Riga and major urban areas

     

Valued above the government’s minimum investment threshold

2. Complete the Property Purchase

Once you select a property, you proceed with:

    • Signing the purchase agreement

       

    • Completing due diligence

       

    • Transferring the payment through legal channels

       

    • Registering ownership with the Latvian Land Register

3. Prepare Required Documents

To apply for a Latvian residence permit, you typically need:

  • Valid passport

     

  • Proof of property ownership

     

  • Proof of funds and clean financial history

     

  • Police clearance certificate

     

  • Health insurance valid in Latvia

     

Application forms and government fees

4. Submit Your Residency Application

Applications may be submitted:

  • Through Latvia’s embassy or consulate

  • Or directly in Latvia via an authorized representative

Once submitted, the government reviews the application, verifies property ownership, and checks eligibility criteria.

5. Receive Your Latvian Residence Permit (TRP)

If approved, you receive a Temporary Residence Permit, typically valid for 1–5 years, depending on current regulations. The TRP allows:

  • Legal residency in Latvia

  • Freedom to travel within the Schengen Zone (26+ European countries)

  • The right to live with immediate family members

  • Access to European lifestyle benefits, education, and healthcare

6. Renewals and Long-Term Options

  • Residency can be renewed as long as property ownership is maintained. Over time, investors may also explore:

    • Long-term residency

    • Permanent residency (under certain conditions)

    • Business and investment expansion in Latvia
