How to get a Latvia work permit?

To obtain a work permit in Latvia, you must follow the following steps:

1. Agreement with the Employer: First of all, you need to make an employment agreement with a Latvian employer. The employer must help you obtain a work permit in Latvia and offer you a job offer.

2. Employer Approval: The employer must apply for a work permit on your behalf by contacting the Latvian Employment Agency. In this application, the employer must prove that you are a suitable candidate and that there is no suitable candidate for this position in the local labor market.

3. Required Documents: You must collect the necessary documents for the work permit application. These documents include passport, job offer letter signed by the employer, CV, education and experience documents, health insurance, application fee and biometric photo.

4. Application Process: After collecting your documents, you need to apply for a work permit at the Latvian Employment Agency. Your application will be reviewed and a decision will usually be made within 30 to 60 days.

5. Issuance of Work Permit: If your application is accepted, you will be granted a work permit. The work permit is usually valid for 1 year and must be renewed thereafter. The work permit process can be complex and laws change from time to time, so it is important to verify the most up-to-date information and requirements with the Latvian immigration office or consulate.
