Latvia Introduces Digital Nomad Visa
LEGAL NEWS • August 4, 2022Latvia is moving much closer to the launch of digital nomad visas with the support of the government for the regulation of remote work visas. It will enable nationals of third countries to apply for a long-term visa lasting one year in order to remain in Latvia and continue working remotely for an employer registered outside of Latvia or as a self-employed person. The remote work visa is expected to not only encourage the flow of highly-skilled professionals in Latvia and re-emigration of Latvian nationals who are engaged in remote work from third countries, but also to establish advantageous circumstances so that these individuals' spouses can legitimately engage in remote work while employed from Latvia.
