Bangladeshi nationals can apply for Latvian residence by investment, which offers a permit in an EU member state. This page explains the routes, pending rule changes, the timeline and where to confirm the binding rules.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
There is no blanket exclusion of Bangladeshi nationals from Latvian residence by investment. As an EU member state, Latvia applies security and source of funds checks to all applicants.
Some nationalities face restrictions for security reasons. Bangladesh is not among the broadly restricted nationalities, but you should confirm your personal position with the official authority.
Current routes include buying real estate, investing in the share capital of a Latvian company, placing a fixed term bank deposit, and buying government bonds. Each route has its own minimum and its own state fee. Note that approved amendments may remove several of these routes from 1 January 2027.
OCMA reports standard processing of around 30 days, with faster options available for higher fees. Treat any quoted figure as indicative and confirm with the authority.
The table below sets out the main figures. State fees and professional costs sit on top of the investment.
