Declaration or “Where do you plan to live?”

It is very important question that you should answer before you apply for visa or residence permit. 
You can't leave it for better time, because The Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (OCMA)
definitely will ask you to do it.

In accordance with the provisions of Declaration of Place of Residence Law, the following persons have
 a duty to declare a place of residence:

• a Latvian citizen;
• non-citizen;
• a citizen of the Member State of the European Union, European Economic Area State and
   Swiss Confederation and his or her family members who has received a registration certificate
  or permanent residence certificate issued in the Republic of Latvia;
• a foreigner who has received a residence permit issued in Latvia;
• a stateless person who has received a residence permit issued in the Republic of Latvia.

A person have to do it one month.

A person may declare the place of residence:

1.in the local institution, where the new place of residence of the person is located;
2.electronically on the portal www.latvija.lv, by using the e-service “Submission of the 
declaration of the place of residence”
    3.in the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs

On the one hand, OCMA gives you options how you can declare your residence place. 
On the other hand, if you can’t declare through the portal www.latvija.lv when you apply for 1st time,
OCMA asks to do it at once in Office. A person shall pay the State fee in the amount of 4.27 euro.

Would you like to know, what documents should you prepare to prove that you have right to declare
 in a chosen place?
