Latvia plans to deport from the country more than 1,200 Russians who have not submitted documents to obtain a residence permit by the deadline of November reported from local media with reference to the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs.

"At least 1,213 Russian citizens will be expelled from Latvia. They did not submit documents to obtain a residence permit in Latvia by the deadline established by amendments to the immigration law,” the department said.
