How foreign students can bring their spouse to Latvia

Many international students in Latvia dream not only of building a career here, but of building a life, together with their spouse or partner 💖

The good news? Yes, your spouse can join you. But choosing the right legal path is essential. At Immigration Consulting Agency, we help couples make the right decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

👉 Here are the two main options for international students who want to invite their spouse to Latvia:

Option 1: Type D Visa
A fast-track solution for short stays, up to one year.
✔️ Ideal for temporary support during your studies
❗ But: no right to work

Option 2: Family Reunification Residence Permit
A better choice for those who plan a long-term life together in Latvia.
✔️ Valid for one year, renewable
✔️ Allows study and in many cases work
✔️ Keeps your family unit together under legal status

But be careful ☝
Even one missed detail, such as incorrect translations or missing proof of finances can delay or derail the entire process. Worse, it can affect future chances for permanent residency.
That’s why many students turn to our experts for help. We guide couples through the full process, document prep, submission, translations, and compliance. It’s not just about bringing someone over; it’s about doing it the right way.
