The department sent letters to those Russians who did not apply for EU permanent resident status. Those expelled also included those who did not pass the Latvian language exam. Commenting on this decision, the head of the department, Maira Rose , said that only those Russian citizens who applied for permanent residence permits and took the exam, although they may not have passed it, can count on a two-year extension to pass the exam and receive a permanent residence permit. “Those who do nothing should leave,” Rose said. Rose reported on September 18 that thousands of Russian citizens living in the republic would have to leave because they would not pass the Latvian language exam. According to her estimates, 3,600 people will have to leave Latvia. Those who decide to be expelled from the country will receive notification letters. To avoid this, it was necessary to sign up to take the exam, said Ingmar Lidak, who heads the Sejm commission on citizenship, migration and social cohesion.
