I am a citizen of Russia and I'm participating in inheritance proceedings opened in Russia. After my husband’s death, there has also been left a real estate located in Latvia. There are other heirs who are involved in the division of the inheritance. Is it possible to register ownership of the real estate in Latvia exclusively in my name on the basis of an inheritance division agreement concluded between all heirs? 11.02.2026 During our marriage, we purchased an apartment in Latvia, which is registered in the Land Register under my wife’s name. However, I financed almost the entire purchase, paying approximately 90% of the apartment’s cost. Do I have a claim to this apartment? If so, what portion of the apartment should belong to me – half, or a portion proportional to my financial contribution? How can I obtain my share? 13.01.2026 I want to open a company in Latvia that will engage in the employment of non-EU citizens. Is a license required for this type of activity? 12.11.2025 I read that a law recently came into force prohibiting Russian citizens from purchasing real estate in Latvia. I hold Russian citizenship, but recently I also received an Israeli passport. Will this ban apply to me if I purchase an apartment as an Israeli citizen, not a Russian citizen? 28.10.2025 Can an employee resign without a notice period and without a month's notice? 21.10.2025 I have a residence permit in Latvia based on my marriage to a Latvian citizen. We have a minor child who also holds Latvian citizenship. Unfortunately, the marriage hasn’t been successful – we decided to file for divorce through the notary. Once we divorce, I will of course lose my residence permit. How can I retain my residence permit so that I can continue living in Latvia and see my child? 01.10.2025 I learned from the media that passports without biometrics of Russian citizens are no longer recognized in Latvia and it is not possible to obtain a residence permit using them. What should Russian citizens do who already have a residence permit in Latvia along with these passports? 04.07.2025 My husband died in August. I withdrew money from his account, and spent half of it on the funeral. My daughter and I lived on the rest. Now my husband’s son is threatening to sue me if I do not give him this money. Does he have the right to do this and what should I do? 29.04.2025 I am planning to hire a foreigner and obtain a residence permit for him. I’ve read somewhere that as of this year the procedure for posting a vacancy on the website of the National Employment Agency has become more complicated, is this true? 11.03.2025 I am a German citizen and my main place of residence is Germany, but I often visit Latvia on business (I have a company registered here). It is not very convenient for me to count every time how many days I spent in Latvia within the six months period, so as not to exceed the permissible limit of 90 days. Is it possible to obtain a residence permit in Latvia under a simplified procedure me being a citizen of an EU country? 12.02.2025
