Latvia Visa

“Get ready for an amazing opportunity in Latvia, a beautiful Northern European country nestled along the Baltic Sea. Discover how you can obtain a National Visa for work, and let us guide you through the simplified process designed for non-European nationals. Your next adventure awaits!”

Latvia, an EU nation with a population of 1.81 million (as of May 29, 2024), requires foreign workers to have a work permit, a National Visa, and a temporary residence permit. EU nationals only need to register their stay.

There are four types of work permits:

  • A Type Permit: For those seeking employment with a Latvian employer.
  • C and E Type Permit: For intra-company transfers. ‘C’ is for employees, ‘E’ for managers and specialists.
  • D Type Permit: For business visitors.
  • Seasonal Permit: For short-term work in fields like tourism or agriculture.

To obtain a work permit, secure a job in Latvia. Your employer will apply on your behalf. The work visa requires a valid job offer, passport, application form, OCMA permission, two photos, proof of funds, accommodation, booked tickets, criminal record certificate, visa fee payment proof, health insurance, employment contract, and proof of qualifications and experience.

OCMA permission is the approval from the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs in Latvia for your employer to hire you.

Apply for the work visa at a Latvian embassy or another Schengen Member State’s Diplomatic or Consular Mission if there’s no Latvian embassy in your country. Submit the Long Stay National Visa application form and required documents.

After arriving in Latvia, apply for a Temporary Residence Permit, which grants you the legal right to reside in Latvia. The long-stay visa is valid for three months, and the residence permit is valid for one year with possible extensions.

Always check the official website or the Latvian embassy/consulate in your country for the latest information. This is a general overview of the Latvia Work Visa Process.
