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 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
