The ad does not ask for Latvian. Ask the employer if they can hire from abroad.
Tell employers you want to work in Latvia
Four short questions. Only employers who hire from abroad see your answers. We never ask where you are from.
StartWho can work in Latvia
Citizens of the EU, the EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and Switzerland can work in Latvia without a work permit. If you stay longer than three months, you register your stay with the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (PMLP).
- Everyone else needs a work permit: a visa or a residence permit that gives the right to work.
- The employer applies first. The employer registers the vacancy with the State Employment Agency (NVA). NVA checks if someone in Latvia can do the job.
- Then the employer invites you, and you apply for the visa or residence permit at PMLP or at a Latvian embassy.
A real employer or a licensed agency never asks you to pay for a job, an invitation or a work permit.
If someone asks you for money to get a job, stop. Do not send documents or money.
Work rights for people from outside the EU
22,917 people from outside the EU received work rights in 2025, most of them general labourers, truck drivers and construction workers.

Questions
Do I need a work permit to work in Latvia?
Not if you are a citizen of the EU, the EEA or Switzerland. Everyone else needs a visa or a residence permit that gives the right to work in Latvia.
Who applies for the work permit?
The employer starts: they register the vacancy with the State Employment Agency (NVA) and invite you. Then you apply for the visa or residence permit at PMLP or at a Latvian embassy.
Do I have to pay to get a job?
No. A real employer or a licensed agency never asks you to pay for a job, an invitation or a permit.
Do I need to speak Latvian?
Many jobs need Latvian. The jobs on this page are ads where the employer does not ask for Latvian. Always check the ad and ask the employer.
Does this website give jobs?
