Latvian Family Reunification — gateway to the Baltic and EU.
Built to keep families together
Latvia's family reunification residence permit lets spouses and minor children of legal residents, EU Blue Card holders and Latvian citizens settle in Latvia. With one of Europe's lowest costs of living and Schengen access, Latvia is a hidden gem for families.
Spouses generally need a separate work permit unless the sponsor holds an EU Blue Card or the family route is tied to a highly-skilled job.

- Sponsor has 1+ year of legal Latvian residence
