What is the minimum share capital required to establish an SIA in Latvia?
A standard limited liability company (Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību - SIA) requires a minimum share capital of €2,800, of which at least 50% must be paid prior to registration. Reduced-capital SIAs (Mazkapitāla SIA) can be founded with as little as €1, provided the founder is an individual.
How does the €50,000 business investment residence permit work in Latvia?
Under Latvia’s Immigration Law, a foreign national can obtain a 5-year Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) by investing at least €50,000 into the equity capital of a Latvian company with <=50 employees and annual turnover <=€10M, plus paying a mandatory €10,000 state budget contribution.
What are the Enterprise Register (Uzņēmumu reģistrs) state duties?
The standard state registration fee for an SIA is €75 for regular 3-day review or €225 for expedited 1-business-day processing, plus a mandatory publication fee in the official gazette Latvijas Vēstnesis (€27.03).

The Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (PMLP) charges €150 for standard 30-day decision processing, €300 for 10-working-day review, or €450 for express 5-working-day examination.
