About

The Latvian startup visa is an initiative by the government of Latvia aimed at bringing in more talented individuals to come and develop their ideas in Latvia. The visa initiative goes hand in hand with the newly available EUR15 million that the state has made available to startups to develop ideas in accelerators. With a combination of available financing and eased visa requirements, coming to develop your startup in Latvia has never been easier. Startup visa is offered to all non-EU startup founders who are willing to come and kick-off their startup ideas in Latvia, a proud member of EU since 2004. One startup can have up to 5 founders with a startup visa.
