## Housing

Riga rooms commonly run EUR 250 to 450, with the art-nouveau centre at a premium and the Soviet-era micro-districts markedly cheaper and well-connected by tram; student dormitories are the budget option where available. Latvia's rental market rewards a registered contract, which also produces the declared-address evidence the permit needs.

Because accommodation proof carries the same three-month validity as the money evidence, secure housing on a timeline that lands inside the application window.
