Working in Latvia
Latvia is an EU member benefitting from its Baltic logistics hub and growing food-processing and warehouse sectors. A work permit plus temporary residence permit processes typically inside 6 to 10 weeks. Cost of living sits below EU average; Riga is the most expensive but still affordable on a factory-worker salary. Smaller migrant population than other EU members, but English proficiency is high among employers and authorities.

What this role looks like day-to-day

Hearing protection and safety glasses are continuous requirements. This role suits workers with steady hands, comfort around loud machinery, and willingness to learn measurement tools (calipers, micrometers) on the job.
