Immigration Law

A successful business in Latvia often requires investment by foreign entities or individuals, or the employment of foreigners.  Spigulis & Kukainis advises all aspects relating to procurement of Latvian work permits and/or Latvian residence permits, so that our client’s team can quickly and effectively relocate necessary personnel to their business entities in Latvia.

We also assist persons who left Latvia after WWII, with all matters from A to Z relating to requesting dual citizenship. Our staff is fluent in English, thus not knowing Latvian is not a problem. We have successfully assisted numerous Canadian, United States, and Australian citizens with requesting dual Latvian citizenship.

  • Formation of visa and residence permit requests
  • Establishment of companies for residence permit purposes
  • Residence permits based on investment in real estate or companies
