Yes. Time spent as a Blue Card holder counts toward EU long-term resident status, and Blue Card rules give favourable treatment such as the ability to combine residence across EU states.
The EU Blue Card is designed as a pathway, not a dead end. Years of legal residence on the card count toward EU long-term resident status, and the scheme offers more favourable conditions than many standard permits, including provisions that let qualifying periods across different EU member states be taken into account.
In Latvia you also have the general route to a permanent residence permit after sufficient continuous residence and meeting language and other conditions. To keep these options open, maintain continuous legal residence, hold onto your highly qualified employment, and confirm the exact qualifying periods and language requirements with OCMA as you approach eligibility.
