Your questions, our answers
Yes, 100%. Latvia has been an EU member since 2004, part of the Eurozone since 2014, and an OECD member since 2016. Creating a SIA and obtaining Latvian tax residence are perfectly legal processes governed by European law. This is not an offshore scheme, it is a legitimate European tax residence.
Our packages start at EUR 690 excl. VAT for company creation (Essential), EUR 1,990 excl. VAT with residence and 6-month support (Premium), and EUR 3,990 excl. VAT all-inclusive with relocation assistance (VIP). Monthly accounting is EUR 149/month. No hidden fees: a fixed price, all-inclusive.
No, full-time residence is not required. Latvia offers two paths to tax residency: registering a declared address (deklarētā dzīvesvieta) in Latvia, or spending 183+ days in any 12-month period. With a declared address and real economic substance (active SIA, Latvian bank account, regular presence), you are a Latvian tax resident, no need to stay six months in Riga. Use Riga as your base and travel freely the rest of the year. If another country also claims your tax residency, the applicable tax treaty's tie-breaker rules resolve the situation.
SIA stands for "Sabiedriba ar ierobezotu atbildibu", the Latvian equivalent of a limited liability company (LLC/Ltd). Minimum share capital of EUR 2,800, created in 2 business days via the Latvian registry's online system. It is the most common legal form for entrepreneurs in Latvia.
In Latvia, corporate income tax is 0% on reinvested profits and 25% effective only on profits distributed as dividends. With the minimum salary (EUR 780/month) + dividends strategy, the effective overall rate drops to approximately 15-26% depending on your revenue, compared to 45-55% in France.
You can close your SIA and return at any time. The bilateral tax treaty between France and Latvia (signed in 1997) governs the transition and prevents double taxation. We also support you with the exit process if needed.
SIA creation: 2 to 10 business days. Residence permit: approximately 3 weeks. Total from first call to invoicing your first client: 3 weeks on average. We handle 100% of the process. You sign, we do the rest.
