Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from prospective investors. Have more? Use our chat or contact form.

Who qualifies for the Latvia Golden Visa?
Any non-EEA national who makes a qualifying equity investment of €50,000 in a Latvian commercial entity meeting statutory requirements. There are no minimum income requirements, and family members can be included.
Do I need to live in Latvia full-time?
No. The Latvian residence permit does not impose a minimum stay requirement. You can maintain your primary residence elsewhere while enjoying the benefits of EU residency.
Is my €50,000 investment guaranteed to be returned?
The investment carries standard business risk and is not capital-guaranteed. However, a formal buyback agreement offers 40% return at Year 5 and 100% at Year 10, subject to company performance and Latvian corporate law.
How is residency continuity ensured?
SIAPLG.EU AS is obligated to maintain annual Latvian tax payments of minimum €40,000 (€200,000 over 5 years). The combined AM Craft Group tax footprint provides a strong buffer well above this threshold.
How long does the process take?
Typically 3–6 months from initial consultation to permit issuance. OCMA processing alone takes 8–12 weeks once the full application is submitted.
Can I include family members in my application?
Yes. Spouse and dependent children can be included in your residence permit application. Additional fees apply per family member for state duties and legal services.
What are the tax implications for me as an investor?
You hold Class B shares with no dividends during the lock-in period, meaning no annual income tax obligation on the investment in Latvia. We strongly recommend independent tax advice in your home country.
How many investors does SIAPLG.EU AS accept?
SPV #1 (SIAPLG.EU AS) targets a maximum of 10 investors to maintain a controlled, compliant structure. A second SPV is planned for 2026 to serve additional investors.
