Latvian authorities may deport 800 Russians who have no right to stay in the country.
According to Censor.NET, this was stated by a representative of the Latvian Migration Directorate, Madara Puke.
“Currently, 800 people have not been granted the right to stay in Latvia. They did not apply for permanent or temporary residence…
We have passed the information about these individuals to the State Border Guard Service for further verification. In the coming weeks, it will be clear whether these people are still in Latvia. If they are, then departure orders will be issued for 30 days,” Puke emphasized.
She noted that those who failed the Latvian language test could apply for a temporary residence permit for two years, after which their Latvian language skills would be tested again with the threat of deportation.
