Investement options

Latvia offers several qualifying investment options, including real estate purchases, investments in Latvian companies, or financial contributions to state funds. Each option has varying minimum investment thresholds, making it a flexible choice for investors seeking European residency.

Do I need to live in the country to maintain my residency by investment status?

No, both Portugal and Latvia offer flexible residency requirements. In Portugal, you only need to spend an average of 7 days per year, while Latvia requires a short stay of around 30 days over 5 years. This allows investors to maintain their residency status without needing to relocate or live full-time in the country, providing the freedom to manage global business or personal commitments while benefiting from European residency.
