The total budget for 2025 is almost 2 million euros, and the funds will be available for Ukrainians from March 7th and October 3rd respectively. The one-time assistance will be paid only once, and the NVA will consider the relevant application data.

Currently, 17,180 Ukrainians have already received assistance in job search, and 637 individuals have started self-employment. Latvian law provides support to Ukrainian civilians from state budget funds.
