The new One Stop Shop branch in Liepaja is located in the premises of the Liepaja City Council on Rožu Street 6 and it provides consultation service on immigration related topics in the Kurzeme region. Visitors are welcomed by the Change Agent Sintija Ķeire ([email protected]) and the Customer Service Consultant Kristīna Eroda ([email protected]), at the working hours of the Liepāja City Hall: on Mondays from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Similar to the main office in Riga, the target group for receiving services are citizens of third countries who have received the right to stay in the territory of Latvia, and persons who need international protection (refugees, persons granted alternative status, and asylum seekers) and who are legally staying in the territory of Latvia.

In the One Stop Shop`s office in Riga the number of consultations continues to grow at a rapid pace, which increased by 62% in March compared to February. The most common questions asked by the target group in March were related to starting a business in Latvia, tax issues, applying for a repeated temporary residence permit and marriage registration. The volume of the performed oral interpretations also increased, by 52%. In Riga the clients are consulted at the premises of the Society Integration Foundation at Raina Raina Boulevard 15, during the Foundation`s working hours on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To receive a consultation, you are kindly invited to book it in advance by phone +37126959706 or by email [email protected].

In the meantime, talks with other Latvian municipalities continue, in which the creation of regional branches – Jelgava, Daugavpils and Valmiera – is planned.

The One Stop Shop’s services are provided by the Society Integration Foundation within the framework of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund’s project (Agreement No. PMIF/13.1./2022/1/01). The funding has been allocated by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (75%) and Latvian State budget (25%).
