Immigration to Latvia

Immigration to Latvia is the process by which people migrate to Latvia to reside in the country. Some, but not all, stay permanently and eventually become Latvian citizens. Immigration has been the main source of major population growth in Latvia in recent years due to negative natural increase.

As of 31 December 2024 according to the data of the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (Latvian: Pilsonības un migrācijas lietu pārvalde (PMLP)), there were 85,978 foreigners with temporary residence permits and 45,731 with permanent residence permits, excluding Latvian citizens and Latvian non-citizens.
