Pathway overview

For non-EU founders of innovative, scalable startups, up to 5 co-founders per startup.

Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need an innovative, easily scalable, high-added-value startup idea (a written description of the product you intend to develop in Latvia), €15,000 in capital, a minimum €4,560 bank balance to cover your first 3 months, a written commitment to earn at least €859/month once your startup is operating, and company registration within 3 months of approval (or board membership in a company founded within the past year). Up to 5 co-founders per startup can each hold this visa; it's spouse- and children-friendly. Issued for up to 3 years. Processing takes about 1 month.
