A long-stay (type D) visa, not a residence permit, that lets non-EU nationals live in Latvia for up to a year while working remotely for an employer or as a self-employed person registered in an OECD member state. It is renewable once, and holders may not take local Latvian employment or earn Latvian-sourced income.
Non-EU remote workers tied to an employer or business registered in an OECD country.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
You must show monthly income of at least 2.5 times the Latvian average gross wage; the exact euro figure tracks the latest official statistics, so confirm the current amount when you apply.
No. The remote work visa does not grant the right to take up employment in Latvia; you may only work remotely for your foreign OECD-country employer or your own foreign-registered business.
The visa is issued for one year. The official page does not set out an extension or a conversion into long-term residence, so plan around a one-year stay.
Remote workers tied to an OECD-country employer or an OECD-registered self-employment, who can perform their duties remotely and meet the income requirement, are eligible.
Latvia's Digital Nomad visa is a long-stay (type D) visa, not a residence permit, allowing up to a year (renewable once) for remote workers. A distinctive condition is that your employer or business must be registered in an OECD member state.
You need a valid travel document, the completed visa form and photo, qualifying health insurance valid in the Schengen area, proof of accommodation in Latvia, and employment or self-employment evidence from your OECD country.
You must hold health insurance valid in the Schengen area with substantial coverage; the official guidance points to a high minimum coverage level, so use a policy that clearly meets the stated amount.
