What are the requirements for emigrating to Latvia?

At the beginning of last year 1 1, a friend introduced that Latvian immigrants could get residence status if they bought a house. . So at her instigation, she found an intermediary with a low fee, with a basic fee of only 50 thousand yuan. Well, it is indeed cheaper than other intermediaries, but it is because of greed. It's a mess in the back. Don't say your name, lest you advertise to them. Talk about prices and conditions, sign contracts, book air tickets and prepare various visas. In the winter of June+February, 5438, I flew to Riga, the capital of Latvia in Eastern Europe. I changed planes in Moscow. I won't describe the details, just fall asleep all the way and wait for a few hours. Finally arrived in Riga. It snowed when I got off the plane. Waiting for a long time. Finally, I saw a man pick me up and said something was delayed. What kind of service is this? I scolded him in my mind. But there were not many cars all the way, and we soon arrived at our hotel. The hotel conditions are ok.

Let me explain first: there are two standards for housing immigration in Latvia. One is that buying a house in a big city needs 6.5438+0.2 million RMB, and the other is that it needs 600,000 RMB except for big cities. Our goal is to obtain residence, so the first choice is to buy 600 thousand, at least with less financial pressure. The risk is also a little less.

We flew to Riga in the evening, so we stayed in the hotel for the rest of the time, but we were jet lagged and didn't have a good rest. The next day, the hotel had breakfast. On the first day, we agreed to go to Riga first in the morning. It was almost 10 when they came to drive us around, and then someone showed us around. This person is the person who picks up the plane (afterwards, I learned that everything is served by this one person, and it doesn't matter how many people serve. After all, the money collected is only 50,000 RMB, which is much cheaper than those of 200,000 RMB, but you can't just leave us with a customer in the middle. This is another story. So this man put us in the old city after driving for less than 5 minutes, saying that he had something to go to the real estate company. Let's play by ourselves and tell him to come and pick us up. There are some things we know, and our English is not good, especially Latvian, which we have never seen since childhood. It's a bit boring to go shopping alone in Riga. It's almost noon. We called, but there was no international long-distance roaming. As a result, we called at least six times, and no one answered there. So we had to order our own food in a fast food restaurant, and noon passed quickly. We made some phone calls and finally got through, saying that there was something wrong with the car and it was being repaired. It's almost three o'clock. It's getting dark. Damn it, what's going on It's too early to get dark. Finally, the bus came. Q: How was your game? Nima charges a lot every day. Is that service? But we didn't say it. After all, it was outside. Some can't be very happy. So we went back to the hotel, it was already dark, and after dinner, the day passed. This is an inspection.

The next day, he asked us if we wanted to open an account in the bank. We mean to look at the house first, and the house is the main purpose of this time. So this man agreed to show you the house. We wanted a house of 50,000 yuan, so we found a real estate company first, because they had given us some houses before, and we had already chosen them in China. As a result, the real estate company checked the five houses we chose and called the owner of the house. A tall old man in a real estate company shook his head and said, two of them have been sold and two have signed contracts with others. Only one set is still there.

We were a little anxious and had no choice, so we asked the people who accompanied us for help. I didn't expect that man to look relaxed, but I felt I knew it was the result. So he said that the houses in Latvia are changing every day, so all the houses we were optimistic about are gone now. I feel as if he lured us to Latvia with a good house. In fact, the house has already been sold. So at this time, the intermediary company began to recommend other houses to us, Nima, which was either high in price or poor in location, or a broken house.

So the man said, it's no use looking around here. Let's look at the actual house first. So whether we like it or not, we drove to a village for about half an hour to see the rest of the houses, but we did admit that the yard of the house was very big. The house is ok, but it needs to be decorated inside. The layout is poor, no wonder this house has never been bought. We don't want to be fools. It is not clear whether they have reached an agreement on the house price. I know what is deceiving us. Especially the real estate agent who came with him had a bad smile on his face.

Later, I looked at this place, and one of them actually closed the door without saying good. What kind of professional intermediary is this? Your time is worthless. We will go back in nine days. It seems that it will be ruined in two days. I ate some bread in a small western restaurant at noon, so let's have lunch. The payment is AA system. But after careful observation, the real estate agent paid for the meal. There seems to be something hidden between them. It must be good. But it is normal to introduce the business to the intermediary and have a light meal. I went to see several sets in the afternoon, but none of them were suitable. We all think that there is no good house. In fact, on the third afternoon, we knew why they didn't have a particularly suitable house. The reason is that they want us to buy their own products: buy shares in companies and enterprises! So now I understand that his asking price is so low In fact, I don't really want to help you buy a house, because he has no other big income except the agency fee of 50 thousand and some commission. So buying shares in their products is the highlight. For example, if you have 300,000 RMB to invest in a supermarket, you can get a five-year residence status. At first, we were a little touched. 300 thousand is cheaper than buying a house, and there are shares. But such a good thing reminds me of the trick of a liar, which makes you feel very cost-effective: the detail is that you spent 300 thousand to buy a supermarket. (We went to the supermarket and thought it was a large-scale joint-stock supermarket. As a result, it was a canteen opened by China people and thought it was a big enterprise. Quite self-employed). The plan is full of hype, saying that 300,000 RMB will be invested for five years, with an annual dividend of 5%. After five years, you can get permanent residency, at the same time you can get the principal and 5% annual interest. Who doesn't want to do such a good thing as Nima? It's worth it But when we came back to analyze it, we always felt something was wrong. So I asked a local law firm, and I also contacted the intermediary before (digression: if we don't choose, the fees will be high, and our money will not fall out of the world).

The lawyer said there was nothing so good. There are many conditions. The summary results are as follows: First, this joint-stock enterprise has to pay at least 230,000 RMB a year (I think it is very good that that small supermarket can earn so much a year, so it is impossible to pay taxes). Second, this company with permanent residency can only apply for two people to immigrate at most (forget it, if our two companies become shareholders, they will get 600,000 yuan from us, but they will have to pay 230,000 yuan a year, and 6,543,800+0.2 million yuan will be gone in five years, and they will return 750,000 yuan to us. I don't think a small supermarket like theirs can do it. I'm afraid the headmaster will be gone in five years. We asked about this situation later. In order to dispel our doubts, they also said that China has a company as a guarantee, and it is in Shanghai. In the fourth year, the company cancels or replaces its legal representative. Who shall we go to? We are not vegetarians, and we understand why.

We later calculated a sum of money with them, saying that this supermarket is such a deserted business. I'm afraid I can't earn any interest. I didn't expect him to say that the money was actually used for real estate development. Oh, my God, it was financing. When we are fools, it is too unreliable to say that we will not consider this project at once.

Seeing that we were not interested, he began to encourage us to invest in some factories and commercial real estate, saying that money can't be moved for 20 years, and it is a question mark whether everyone is still in this world after 20 years. I ~ ~ I'm out of my mind. Oh, it's really cheap to find such an idiot who wants to make a lot of money. I thought everyone was as stupid as him. But I paid some money, but fortunately I only received 5000 yuan. He thinks we don't eat their own immigrant products. I was a little unhappy. I didn't want to make us 50 thousand yuan, but he still said to accompany us to continue to look at the house, but his motivation and interest were not as good as before, because he couldn't make much money doing this. For the next few days, I just drove around and all the houses were dirty. Only two sets look good.

On the seventh day, we came to the poor three deceived compatriots. It is estimated that they are also attracted by his promises and cheap agency fees. He even took us aside and ignored us for a day. Let's sum up which house we have seen and go to those three houses over there, probably just like them. Later, we lost interest, so we went to several places, and there was nothing to play. Later, when the house arrived, I took a fancy to it and said that I would wait until I returned to China. But fortunately, they only charged 5000 yuan. A little surprised. Plus air tickets and so on, Nima cost me almost 20 thousand yuan.

When I came back, I was laughed at by my girlfriend and told you that the national economy was average. If you don't believe me, why did you go there alone? Why don't you give me this 20 thousand yuan to play? Maldives also has the habit of being greedy and cheap, and it can't be changed. It's true that dogs can't change their eating habits # *&; .

After this time, I know a truth, a particularly sincere heart (it seems that it is not doing business, but really helping you), a service that can do anything, but it is the cheapest in the world, and one that can give you all the phone numbers of customers who have handled it for you to call (not to mention the number of phones, but it was selfish at that time, and I think it was also a sincere gesture of the intermediary. Then he's probably trying to trick you into the circle.

Because the price he gives is low, he promises what others can't give you, and he can give it to you, making you feel that everything is beautiful. It means that he is either in love with you or with your pocket. What kind do you think?

By the way, he said there were dozens of customers. Later, I asked the insider that it was less than 2-3 months since it was opened. The phone numbers of those customers are probably fake. It is estimated that the low price is to continue to attract customers to collect the first volume. There is another annoying thing. He is not familiar with some details. For example, we said that the medical examination fee was 25 lats, and he only asked a few lats. When he opened a bank account, he said more than ten euros, and the result was 100 euros. We suspect that we are his first experiment. So I didn't let him do it later, because I was afraid I wouldn't know the details of buying a house in the future. If I can't immigrate, things will get bigger. So it's still under observation, pity my 20 thousand ocean. Cry ~ ~ ~
