This permit is required for non-EU students enrolled at an accredited Latvian higher-education institution for studies longer than 90 days. The institution must obtain PMLP's approval of an invitation before you apply, and the permit is typically valid for one year at a time.
Non-EU students staying more than 90 days to study in Latvia need a student temporary residence permit. The starting point is acceptance or enrolment at an accredited Latvian educational institution, and the institution must obtain PMLP's approval of a formal invitation before your documents are submitted.
Alongside the invitation, you need proof of sufficient means of subsistence, valid health insurance, a valid passport, a photograph, and a criminal-record statement. The permit is typically valid for one year at a time and renewed as your studies continue.
The funds you must show and other conditions can change, so confirm the current requirements with your institution and on pmlp.gov.lv. ACME can help you prepare the means-of-subsistence and insurance evidence and plan ahead for moving to a work route after you graduate.
