Latvia residence by investment is open to non European Union nationals, which includes Indian citizens. Eligibility depends on making a qualifying investment and meeting health, character and document requirements rather than on nationality.
You will generally need a valid passport, a criminal record certificate covering recent countries of residence, health insurance, a Latvian medical report and proof that funds are lawful. Confirm the full document set with the authority.
The best known route is a qualifying real estate purchase. Reported additional routes include an investment into the equity capital of a Latvian company, a subordinated bank deposit, or holding government securities. Each route has its own conditions.
Real estate must usually be held for a set period and meet a minimum cadastral value. A state fee is reported on the real estate route. Check which route fits your plans before you commit.
Processing depends on the route and how complete your file is. Latvia issues residence permits that are valid for a set period and are renewable while you keep the qualifying investment. Treat any quoted turnaround as indicative and confirm with the authority.
As reported in 2025, the real estate route requires property of at least EUR 250,000 with a minimum cadastral value, held for at least five years, plus a state fee and proof of sufficient funds in a bank account. Other routes carry their own thresholds. Verify the current minimums and all fees before acting.
The permit grants residence in Latvia, a European Union member state. It is a residency route. Any path to permanent residence or citizenship is subject to separate Latvian rules on lawful residence, language and integration. Confirm these with the authority.
