About Us — EURESIDENCIES

Our Story

A Decade of Opening Doors to Europe

Established in 2011, SBALTIC SIA is a leading investment consultancy based in Riga, Latvia, dedicated to helping global investors and their families obtain Latvian EU residency. Latvia is a full EU and Schengen member state — gaining Latvian residency means the right to live, work, and travel freely across 26 European countries.

Over more than a decade, we have guided hundreds of high-net-worth individuals from across the world through the Latvian residency-by-investment process — making it simple, transparent, and fully compliant from first consultation to permit issuance.

EURESIDENCIES is our dedicated platform for connecting investors with Latvia's government-approved residency programs — combining SBALTIC's deep legal expertise with a seamless, client-first experience.
