Recruit Filipino Workers for Latvia

Fil-Expat helps Latvian employers recruit qualified Filipino workers through the correct visa or residence route. Latvia requires employment authorization before the worker can legally work.

Hiring Filipino Workers for Latvia

Short-term employment can use a visa with the right to employment. Long-term employment normally uses a residence permit with employment rights. Employers have specific vacancy, invitation, and sponsorship duties.

Core Work and Migration Requirements
  • For short-term employment, the employer normally registers the vacancy and obtains an opinion from the State Employment Agency.
  • The employer then arranges an invitation with the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs.
  • The worker applies at the competent Latvian mission for a visa with the right to employment before entry. This can apply even to a person who is otherwise visa-exempt for travel.
  • For long-term employment, the employer submits a sponsorship request and the worker applies for the residence permit and employment rights.
  • The employer is responsible for lawful employment, residence conditions, healthcare obligations, and removal costs where required by law.
  • Regulated professions need professional recognition. For some non-regulated roles, education documents or evidence of professional experience must be submitted.
  • Employment rights can be employer-specific. The worker must follow the conditions printed or recorded in the permit.
Qualification and Professional Requirements

Fil-Expat checks the worker’s education and work history against the Latvian job. We also identify whether the profession is regulated and whether qualification recognition is needed.
