The Latvian authorities may force 3,255 Russians permanently residing on its territory to leave the country.
Notifications have already been sent out by the local Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs. Who may be asked to leave Latvia and for what reasons?
3,255 Russian citizens permanently residing in Latvia may be expelled from its borders, reports Rus.lsm.lv.
It is known that the local Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs sent letters about the expiration of residence permits to Russians.
This applies to those who should have applied for permanent resident status in the European Union, but did not do so.
Another argument for deportation outside Latvia is ignorance of the state language.
Knowledge is confirmed by passing the appropriate exam.
It is reported that 13,147 people have registered to take the Latvian language exam.
However, in fact, the profit was only 11.3 thousand.
However, only 39% of applicants passed the test the first time.
And just over 6.5 thousand people applied for a retake.
