SIA Gelato Italia owner: Is this the way foreign investors are welcomed?
In my ice cream store all my employees speak Latvian.
But someone pressed charges against me.
During this last year I learnt lots of words with the clients and the girls who
work with me.
But unfortunately I can't speak.
Working from 12 or more hours per day, per 7 days a week , I don't have time to
attend a course.
It has been almost 3 years since I'm here in Latvia.
2 years and a half since I live here.
I created a sia.
I opened a bank account.
I created my first ice cream store from scratches, working only with Latvian
professionals.
I pay taxes.
My employees are well paid.
Now, I don't want to criticize the absurdity of this low, but why didn't
someone warn me when I started?
I invested my (Italian) money in this country, and I was denounced like a
criminal.
Is this the way foreign investors are welcomed?
