Immigration Compliance and Residence Permit Documentation

If your goal is to live and run your company in Latvia, the residence permit process must be planned together with your company setup, banking, and tax compliance. We help you prepare the required residence permit documentation, coordinate the process steps, and keep the application file consistent and authority-ready.

What’s included

Route selection support (businessman/founder-related pathways where applicable)

Document checklist tailored to your profile and family situation (if applicable)

Application file preparation support: forms, translations, and consistency checks

Coordination guidance for where and how to submit documents (Latvia office vs abroad)

Ongoing compliance orientation: maintaining lawful status, reporting/updates, and aligned company obligations

What we need from you

Passport copy and personal details (and family member details if applying together)

Your company structure and role (shareholder/board member) + registration documents

Proof of subsistence/ financial means as required for the route

Clean background/ punishability statement where required and time-in-country history

Health insurance/medical documents if required by the specific route

Your target timing (move date) and preferred submission location (Latvia or abroad)

How it works

Eligibility screening and route selection aligned with your business structure

Build the authority-ready file: documents, translations, and checklist completion

Submission guidance (PMLP office in Latvia or Latvian embassy/mission abroad for first-time applications, as applicable)

Follow-up support for additional requests/ questions

After approval: compliance orientation and next-step setup (address, banking, tax, accounting cadence)

Typical timeline

Processing timelines depend on the chosen route, submission location, and completeness of the file. We focus on reducing delays by ensuring documentation is consistent and compliant from the start.

Common pitfalls we prevent

Choosing the wrong route and rebuilding the file later

Inconsistent company role/ownership information across immigration and corporate documents

Missing supporting documents (subsistence, state duty, background statement)

Late translations/ legalisation leading to missed submission windows

Assuming company registration alone guarantees immigration approval

FAQs

Find answers to common questions!

Where do I submit my residence permit documents?

Depending on your case, first-time applications may be submitted abroad (Latvian embassy/mission) or in Latvia. We guide you based on the official filing rules.

What documents are typically required?

Common requirements include passport copy, application form, photo, proof of subsistence, proof of payment of state duty, and additional route-specific documents.

Can I apply together with my family?

In many cases, yes. The file and financial means requirements change when family members apply.

Do you handle both company setup and the residence permit workflow?

Yes. Coordinating both reduces inconsistency risk and improves the overall experience for founders.
