Few people know that Latvia has a residence permit program for pensioners from countries whose citizens can enter Latvia without a visa - for example, from Israel, the USA and Canada.
Retirement age in Latvia in 2026: 65 years old.
Latvia is a European Union country, and the residence permit obtained provides the opportunity to have a European residence permit, stay freely in Latvia and travel throughout the Schengen zone countries.
A Latvian residence permit allows you to stay in the country for an unlimited time. You can come for a few months, spend the summer in Latvia or move permanently.
Our clients who have already obtained a residence permit note that Latvia is calm and safe, with reasonable prices for housing, food and healthcare services. The cost of living is significantly lower than in Israel. In summer, Latvia has mild and comfortable weather, without exhausting heat.
Foreigners in Latvia are treated in a friendly and welcoming manner, and the country itself is known for a calm lifestyle and high level of safety.
Many of our clients from Israel have already taken advantage of this opportunity and successfully obtained a residence permit in Latvia.
The main requirement for obtaining a residence permit is having a pension. As of March 2026, the minimum required pension amount is 1101 euros per month.
It is sufficient if the pension belongs to one family member. The second spouse can obtain a residence permit based on marriage.
It is also important to properly prepare the documents. Our company cooperates with a law office in Israel. Lawyers help prepare the necessary certificates and properly prepare documents with "apostille" stamps.
Usually, the presence of a pension is confirmed by a certificate from the Ministry of Finance, a certificate from Bituach Leumi (National Insurance of Israel) or a certificate from a private pension fund.
Before starting the process, you send the documents to our lawyer, he reviews them, and informs you whether the documents are suitable for obtaining a residence permit. Initial consultation and document review are free!
You can submit documents for a residence permit in Latvia (for this it is enough to come for a few days) or at the Embassy of Latvia in Israel.
After receiving a positive decision, you will need to come to Latvia and obtain residence permit cards, which are issued for one year.
In most cases, the residence permit processing takes from one to four months. The procedure is quite clear and transparent, and we accompany our clients at all stages of the process.
It is important to note that obtaining such a residence permit does not require purchasing real estate in Latvia! It is enough to have an address where you can register.
We also provide a service for providing such an address.
