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.

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.

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.

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.

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 I would like to apply for a residence permit in Latvia for my son on the grounds of his studies in the last (12th) grade of a Latvian school, is this possible? 07.02.2025 Is it possible for a child to change his last name? 22.11.2024
