What can refugees from Ukraine expect in Latvia?
Ukrainians can receive free accommodation in Latvia for up to 120 days, regardless of the date of their arrival after February 24, 2022.
In addition, in April, the Latvian government approved a change in the rules for the education of Ukrainian refugee children. Schools will now be able to provide children with individualized learning plans to help them better master the educational material in Latvian in grades 1-8, as well as in vocational training programs from 1 to 3 years.
As you know, more than 35 thousand Ukrainian refugees were registered in the country at the beginning of the year.
