Company Investment

The company investment route is designed for investors seeking to make a direct investment in the share capital of a qualifying Latvian company while applying for a Latvian temporary residence permit.

Under the qualifying small-company route, the statutory investment starts from EUR 50,000. A EUR 10,000 payment to the Latvian state budget also applies. The company must meet the applicable legal criteria, and no more than ten foreign investors may qualify through the investment in one eligible company under this route.

RigaInvest selects and structures opportunities in areas such as energy, renewable energy, technology, commercial real estate, and established operating businesses. Availability depends on the current project pipeline, and every investor is matched with a specific company and documented investment structure.

The investor becomes a shareholder of the relevant Latvian company or SPV. Share class, voting rights, profit participation, reporting, transfer restrictions, and exit provisions are defined in the corporate and investment documents for that opportunity. Operational control may remain with the founders or management team.

RigaInvest's service fee is EUR 10,000, normally paid in two stages of EUR 5,000. Legal, translation, notarisation, banking, application, and other third-party costs are agreed separately.

Investment returns are project-specific and are not guaranteed. They depend on the performance of the underlying company or asset, available profits, financing, taxes, and the agreed distribution terms. The investment itself remains at risk.

RigaInvest coordinates KYC and AML, the investment and corporate process, banking preparation, legal and immigration support through qualified partners, investor onboarding, and ongoing administration. The final residence permit decision is made by the competent Latvian authorities.
