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
On a construction site you'll move between manual material handling, assisting trades (carpenters, masons, ironworkers) and following the site supervisor's daily plan. Outdoor work in all weather is normal; PPE is provided and mandatory. This role suits workers in good physical condition, comfortable working outside, and able to follow safety rules carefully — a single mistake on a building site has consequences.

For this specific role: Basic English (A2) — language courses available on-site. Most multinational plants run in English on the floor with simplified communication and pictogram safety signs. Free or subsidised on-site language classes are common after month 1.

Free time activities, religious facilities, halal/vegetarian food access — these vary by city and CHI Recruiting briefs every worker pre-departure.

Processing typically runs 6-10 weeks once your documents are in order (passport, education attestation, police clearance, medical fitness). CHI Recruiting handles the employer-side application; the worker pays government fees (medical, embassy, document chain) which are disclosed transparently up front.
Boots, hi-vis vest, hard hat, gloves, safety glasses and seasonal thermals are issued at onboarding. Site-specific induction covers fall protection, scaffolding rules, and exclusion zones. Replacement PPE is free.
