Norintiems

Norintiems is a term used in the context of the Baltic states, particularly in Latvia, to refer to individuals who are not citizens of the country but have a strong emotional or cultural attachment to it. This term is often used to describe people who have lived in Latvia for a significant period, have family ties, or have a deep understanding of the Latvian language and culture. Norintiems are not eligible for Latvian citizenship but are recognized for their contributions to Latvian society. They may have the right to live and work in Latvia, and in some cases, they may be eligible for certain benefits and services. The term "norintiems" is often used in discussions about immigration policy, cultural integration, and the rights of non-citizens in Latvia.
