On Tuesday, 12 October, the Cabinet of Ministers approved amendments to the regulation on the State fee regarding issue of personal identity documents and regarding personal identity documents in order to facilitate inclusion of foreigners in the digital environment of Latvia and facilitate development of economics, science, education and culture in Latvia, offering the electronic identification means for foreigners – foreigner’s eID card.
Trying to kick-off a startup in a foreign country? Dealing with all the required documents in a language you don’t speak? What a daunting experience… But hey, no more!
To help you stay focused on your startup tasks, our friends Sorainen offer you a range of templates for industry-standard legal documents in English. As every single company has its own needs and unique factors, we suggest you view these templates as the starting point: download them, tweak them as needed and put them to good use!
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT LEGAL ADVICE SHOULD BE SOUGHT BEFORE USING THE DOCUMENTS!

Technically, it’s a temporary residence permit – which is much cooler than just a Schengen visa! For the sake of convenience, we call it “startup visa”.
Startup visa is offered to all non-EU startup founders who are willing to come and kick-off their startup ideas in Latvia. One startup can have up to 5 founders with a startup visa. The application process takes one month. The visa is given for the period of maximum 3 years and it is spouse and children-friendly.
The main criteria for getting the visa is a sound startup idea described in a free-form – save us some time and make it a 1-pager! No business plans or qualification interviews required!
Once your startup is registered and settled in, bring your team from abroad – there is a special type of visa reserved for them.
