I’m moving to Latvia from the USA in August! I think my partner and I have everything sorted but all the processes are still intimidating. We’re so excited!
4:04 yes. you have to apply for a permanent stay status. but if you are married to Latvian citizen you shouldn't have any problems getting it. am i wrong?
Not sure, there could be some other reasons that a person would be denied a permit even if they’re married to a Latvian citizen, but generally it should be easier that way I think
@@mean_and_talll As far as I know, even if you are married to a Latvian, at first they will give you a visa for a year only, with implementations that the limit itself is for five years, but yo need to reapply for your visa each year. Afterwards you get a permanent stay status (I am not shure if the latvian language knowledge to at least some degree is mandatory or not). Recently in the newspapers there was a discussion about this, because a husband of a latvian woman was from another country and didn't understand why the visa application comes with so many dificulties...
thanks for sharing,might consider moving.
