Registering a Company in Latvia as an International Student



Here are the general steps for registering a company in Latvia as an international student from India:


  • Choose a company name: Choose a unique name for your company and check that it is not already in use by another company.


  • Obtain a registration number: Apply for a registration number with the Latvian Enterprise Register.


  • Draft the company's articles of association: Prepare the articles of association, which outline the company's purpose, ownership structure, and management.


  • Register the company: Submit the registration application, along with the articles of association, to the Latvian Enterprise Register. You will also need to pay a registration fee.


  • Obtain licenses and permits: Depending on the type of business you plan to operate, you may need to obtain additional licenses and permits.


  • Open a bank account: Open a bank account in the name of the company.


It's worth noting that starting a business as an international student from India, can be challenging and time-consuming, so it is recommended to seek advice from local business consultants, lawyers and accountants to make sure you comply with the laws and regulations.


Regarding your visa renewal, starting a company in Latvia may help you to renew your visa as it gives you a valid reason for staying in Latvia beyond your graduation.


However, it's best to check with the local immigration office for the most up-to-date information and for any specific requirements that may apply to your situation.
