Acquiring Latvian citizenship through naturalisation

Application to obtain Latvian citizenship through naturalisation is received and reviewed by applicant`s local divisions of the Naturalisation Department.

Latvian citizenship through naturalisation can be obtained by persons who are registered in the Population Registry and

1. Who at least five years (for persons who have arrived in Latvia since July 1, 1992 the five year period is calculated starting from the day their Residence Permits were issued) have permanently resided in Latvia and who have reached the age of 15 upon the day of submitting their naturalisation applications;

2. Who are fluent in Latvian and are familiar with Latvian history, fundamentals of Latvian Satversme (Constitution), and know the text of Latvian National Anthem;

3. Who have legal means of subsistence;

4. Who have denounced their former citizenship and have received an expatriation permit from their former citizenship country (if it is required by the law of the respective country), or a different document confirming their loss of citizenship. Citizens of the former USSR who upon May 4, 1990 were permanently residing in Latvia have to submit a confirmation that they have not become citizens of another country.

Children under the age of 15 can be naturalised along the same procedure as their parents.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
