Latvia
Why Latvia?
For unspoiled wilderness and deep cultural pride, look to Latvia as your potential home. Untouched wilderness covers over half this Baltic country’s landmass—a natural abundance that’s rare for European nations. Capital Riga’s historic center is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, promoting its cultural value in the region. The country’s upcoming digital nomad visa also promises new opportunities here for location-flexible expats.
While English is common among younger generations, learning Latvian is essential for full integration into this proud society. Some fluency in Russian helps, too, as they comprise a significant portion of Latvia’s two million citizens. Finally, low wages here make it essential to maintain outside income sources like a job or retirement funds. Overall, the developing Latvia offers a welcoming lifestyle for mobile immigrants and retirees seeking a more rural way of life.
