🇱🇻 Latvia Closes Its Property Residency Route

Europe’s residency by investment landscape has changed again.

From 15 September 2026, Latvia’s new Immigration Law came into effect, removing the option for new applicants to obtain temporary residence through the purchase of real estate. Under the previous framework, qualifying investors could apply through eligible property investments from €250,000.

For international investors, the message is clear. Residency programmes, investment thresholds and qualifying criteria can change.

So, what options remain for investors looking to combine European property investment with longer term residency objectives?

Our latest article looks at the changes in Latvia and explores 🇬🇷 Greece and 🇨🇾 Cyprus, where qualifying non EU investors can continue to consider property opportunities alongside established residency pathways.

For those already considering international property investment, now is an important time to understand the options available and how they may align with wider investment and residency objectives.
