Insurance requirement, verbatim intent: Health insurance valid in Latvia and the Schengen member states; the insurer's minimum liability limit must be at least EUR 42,600 for the insurance period (per PMLP).
Tax notes: Holders may not earn from Latvian sources. Citizens/residents of OECD states holding the DNV may opt for a flat 15% personal income tax for 365 days from becoming a Latvian tax resident (PIT-law amendments adopted 28 June 2023). Tax residency generally at 183 days. (Tax detail per KPMG, not PMLP.)
