Frequently asked questions about moving to Latvia
How much does it cost to move to Latvia? It depends on volume and distance. As a guide: a one-bedroomflat from Western Europe typically costs €800–€1,800 by road; a full household €1,800–€3,500+.

How long does an international move to Latvia take? From Europe by road: 2–7 days door to door. From the US, Canada or Asia by sea: 4–8 weeks. By air: about a week. We confirm the schedule in your quote.
Can I import my belongings duty-free? If you are transferring your normal place of residence to Latvia from outside the EU, your used household goods — including a car — can usually be imported free of customs duties and VAT. The exemption requires specific documents; we guide you through the list and handle the filing. Moves within the EU involve no customs at all.
Do you help with residence registration and paperwork in Latvia? Our core service is moving and customs, but we advise on the practical steps — OCMA registration, personal code (EORI), vehicle re-registration — and our relocation services cover extended settling-in support.
Can you move my pet to Latvia? Yes — see our pet relocation service. We arrange compliant transport and the required veterinary documentation.
Do you move art and antiques? Yes, it is one of our specialties — fine art and antiques transportation with custom crating, insurance and knowledge of Latvian art export/import rules.
