A typical Latvian application contains:
Write in Latvian unless the ad asks for another language.
The interview: interviews in Latvia are usually formal. Arrive on time, look neat and tidy, and it is fine to shake hands when you arrive.
Diplomas: the Academic Information Centre (AIC, the Latvian ENIC/NARIC) recognises foreign diplomas and runs the assistance centre for the recognition of professional qualifications. In a regulated profession you need recognition before you start work.
Key figures: Eurostat (population on 1 January 2026; unemployment and employment rates 2025; minimum wages July 2026); for the United Kingdom – Office for National Statistics; for Liechtenstein – national statistics. Country information: EURES – Living and working conditions, public employment services and the official government websites listed under each country. Rules, thresholds and amounts can change – check the official sources before you move. Updated: October 2026.
