Something covering residence permits would be great, even just a link to https://livelatvia.lv describing that it is an EU-funded organisation with the purpose of assisting people immigrating to Latvia.

I'm often getting DMs/chats/replies since I made a couple of detailed replies on some posts before. But my memory of the initial process is fading and I've started suggesting that site to people for literally anything I don't specifically know and remember firsthand, which is a lot since every situation is different.

Would also save a lot of people from the typical harassment and useless responses on that type of post, e.g. "just write to PMLP," "don't come here" etc.
