Adapting to the latest EU standards! A major EU co-funded project launched for the renovation of the asylum seekers’ accommodation center

The Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs, in close cooperation with the State Provision Agency, has launched a significant European Union co-funded project to further strengthen Latvia’s capacity to provide high-quality and modern reception for asylum seekers.

This project represents a strategic step toward aligning Latvia’s infrastructure with international standards. By the end of 2029, the following objectives are planned:

• Technical Renovation: Improving the condition of the asylum seekers’ accommodation center buildings to ensure energy efficiency and sustainability;

• Implementation of New Standards: Adapting premises and processes to meet the requirements of the new Migration and Asylum Pact, which facilitates more efficient and humane procedures;

• Modernization of Equipment: Purchasing state-of-the-art technical equipment and inventory necessary for the operational continuity and enhanced security of the centers.

These ambitious changes serve as a testament to Latvia’s commitment to creating an organized and secure migration environment based on the best European practices.
