Subordinated Capital

Regulatory caution

Real Estate and Government Bonds Routes

Latvia’s Interior Ministry has been advancing legislation since November 2023 to eliminate the real estate and government bonds investor-visa routes; as of mid-2026 this remains under legislative review with no enacted end date. The business equity and subordinated capital routes are not part of this proposal. Consider leading with the business or subordinated capital routes in marketing, and note the pending review wherever real estate or bonds are presented.
