LATVIA IMMIGRANT INVESTOR
The Latvia residence by investment program was first introduced in 2010. It has since become a popular program for those looking to relocate into an EU country. The Latvia Immigrant Investor Program offers 4 investment options including a real estate investment option. The Latvia RBI program provides a 5-year resident permit to approved applicants, after which they can apply for permanent residence. After a further 5 years of holding permanent residence, they become eligible for Latvian citizenship. Latvia’s passport is one of the world’s best, with visa-free travel to the U.S. and freedom of movement across Europe.
