Latvia has been a powerful transit point in international trade since ancient times. Transport corridors cross it from North to South and from East to West. And, according to statistics, the main flow of goods goes from East to West precisely through Latvian ports, connecting Russia, the CIS, and Asia with Western Europe and the rest of the world.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Business investment options for obtaining a residence permit in Latvia:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>invest in a company of 50,000 euros, which employs no more than 50 employees, the annual turnover or annual balance does not exceed 10 million euros. In this case, no more than 10 foreigners can apply for a temporary residence permit, if each of them has invested the indicated amount and paid 10,000 euros to the state budget;<\/li><li>invest 100,000 euros in a company with more than 50 employees and an annual turnover or annual balance sheet exceeding 10 million euros;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Open SIA for Residence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common form of company in Latvia is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltic-legal.com\/latvia-company-types-of-legal-entities-eng.htm\">SIA<\/a> &#8211; an LLC (limited liability company)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The residence permit can be obtained by the following officials of the LLC (SIA) and their family members: board member, council member, procurator, administrator, liquidator. Latvian law requires compliance with the following requirements for an LLC so that his office can obtain a residence permit in Latvia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>LLC must be registered in the commercial register of the Republic of Latvia for at least 1 year;<\/li><li>The authorized capital must be at least \u20ac 2,800;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>During the first year, before the filing of an official for a residence permit, at least \u20ac 21 350.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obtaining a residence permit in Latvia when starting a business is a less laborious and time-consuming process than when buying real estate. A company in Latvia can serve as an excellent tool to optimize your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Obtaining permanent residence and citizenship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 5 years of residence in Latvia in the status of a temporary resident, the applicant has the opportunity to apply for permanent status. A total absence from the country is allowed for no more than 10 months in 5 years (that is, for example, 2 months a year). When obtaining Latvian citizenship based on naturalization, you must renounce your previous citizenship, as well as show 10 years of residence in the country (5 years for a residence permit and 5 years in permanent status).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Invest to real estate in Latvia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another option for obtaining a residence permit in Latvia is investing in real estate. It is no coincidence that thousands of families have already taken advantage of this opportunity to obtain the legal status of residents of the European Union<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be noted that today the most profitable offer for an investor to obtain a residence permit in the European Union and the Schengen zone is precisely the Latvian one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Open a Business in Latvia: Get a Residence permit in 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sI91A-nOKMc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Business in Latvia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.immigration-residency.eu\/blog\/get-a-latvian-residentship-by-purchasing-real-estate\/\">How to get a Latvian Residentship by purchasing real estate?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.immigration-residency.eu\/blog\/higher-education-in-latvia-study-in-europe\/\">Higher education in Latvia: Study in Europe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.immigration-residency.eu\/blog\/obtain-a-residence-permit-based-on-work-in-latvia-in-2021\/\">Latvian Residence based on work 2021<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many entrepreneurs strive to open a business in Europe.
