Latvian passport among strongest in the world
The global passport ratings have changed and, in the new world, the Latvian passport has become a powerhouse. Is it worth it to restore Latvian citizenship and obtain your Latvian passport? Or are you better off just keeping the passport you have now?
How Having Latvian Passport Benefits Your Business
You’re an ambitious entrepreneur with your sights set on international business. You’re also thinking it might be possible for you to get Latvian citizenship. But do you know yet how these two variables intersect?
Latvian citizenship: Will Your Spouse Get Citizenship or Residence?
Thinking of taking the plunge, finally getting your Latvian citizenship, and starting a new chapter of your life together with a loved one? Or perhaps, you’re wondering if restoring your Latvian citizenship is worth it— after all, you’re already married and any big life decision affects your partner too.
Have a question? Check our FAQs
What makes me eligible for Latvian citizenship?
- Your parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent was a Latvian citizen before the year 1940
- They left Latvia (or were exiled) between the years 1940-1990
- The application procedure requires having documents that prove your connection to the family member with Latvian heritage and proof that they withdrew or were exiled.
Write to us today and tell us about your ancestors— we can help you determine if you are eligible for Latvian citizenship.
What information do I need to share to evaluate my eligibility?
To determine if you’re eligible, you’ll need to provide us with some of the following information:
- Your ancestor’s full name
- Your ancestor’s date of birth
- Your ancestor’s place of birth (or residence) in Latvia: name of the village or town
- The date when your ancestor left Latvia.
How long does it take to complete the citizenship restoration process?
From the moment you submit the application to the restoration of citizenship, the average time for our clients is under 6 months.
Before submission, it takes about 1-3 months to prepare the required information. The exact time depends on how fast you can collect the necessary documents from your country of residence.
After submitting the application, the Migration Department reviews it. While this stage is the longest, we follow up periodically to ensure no information is missing for the swiftest successful outcome.
We’re proud to say that since 2013, we’ve maintained a success rate of over 99% restoring citizenship to our clients around the world.
What documents do I need to provide for the application?
You need to provide proof of your direct connection to your Latvian ancestor as well as of their exit from Latvia in the period from 1940 to 1990.
We usually need copies of: the applicant’s birth certificate and passport as well as one of the ancestors’ passports or birth certificates. Sometimes, we also need marriage certificates (if the last name was changed) and certificates of naturalisation (if other documents are missing or we need proof of any name changes).
Every case and application is different. We’ll assess your case and give you an exact list of the documents you need to provide. We work to minimise requirements on your side and search the archives for your ancestor’s documents ourselves.
If I’m a Latvian citizen, am I an EU citizen too?
Latvia has been a member state of the EU since 2004. This means that, as a Latvian citizen, you get all the benefits of an EU passport: live, work, do business, study, or retire in any EU country.
These advantages include Social Security that grants you excellent, free or subsidised healthcare in most countries of the EU.
Furthermore, children born to a person with Latvian citizenship will automatically get EU citizenship, as well as their children and their children. So this is an investment for generations.
