Latvia π±π» Golden Visa!
The Latvian golden visa is a hidden gem in the European residency market by investment. It opens doors to the schengen area and European lifestyle with the whole family included.
The minimum investment is 50,000 Euro in a company that's established and pay at least 40,000 tax per year to the Latvian state. If we calculate the total expense to obtain this golden visa then it would be around 80k to 85k Euro because goverment fee is a bit high.
The best thing about this visa is no residency requirements, which makes it an attractive option for individuals who are already settled in other countries but want a solid plan B in Europe. Permanent residency is possible after 5 years and citizenship is possible after 10 years. But for permanent residency or citizenship, actual stay in Latvia is required. For normal residency renewal, there is no stay required in Latvia.
Benefits included:
1. Stay in Latvia with family
2. Travel freedom in the Schengen area
3. Free education and medical for the family
4. Secure and safe residency in Europe
5. Can included family members
Processing time is 3 to 4 months for most applicants but funds must be traceable and applicant must demonstrate with documentary evidence about the origin of the funds.
