Latvia has ordered 841 Russian citizens to leave the country by October 13, 2025, due to non-compliance with new immigration regulations. These regulations, which were tightened following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, require Russian nationals to apply for EU long-term resident status, demonstrate A2-level proficiency in the Latvian language, and pass security checks.
According to Latvia’s Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs, failure to comply with these requirements may result in deportation and the loss of access to social services. This decision reflects the ongoing adjustments in immigration policy in response to geopolitical developments.
