Latvia has published a list of 15 reasons that can lead to the rejection of visa or residence permit applications for foreigners. The reasons include criminal records, the use of forged documents, and financial instability. The government aims to clarify the criteria for denying entry or residency, ensuring that applicants meet legal and security standards. The list is intended to provide transparency for foreign nationals seeking to visit or reside in Latvia. Officials emphasize that the measures are in line with international standards and national security policies. The updated guidelines reflect recent changes in immigration policy and align with broader efforts to strengthen border control. This move comes as Latvia continues to refine its approach to managing immigration in a global context.
