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
A normal day moves between picking orders against a hand-scanner, packing them on labelled pallets, and operating a low-level forklift or pallet jack. Modern warehouses are climate-controlled and most picking is done within walking distance of your station. This role suits workers comfortable on their feet, with steady hand-eye coordination, and an ability to maintain accuracy as the picking pace builds toward end-of-shift cutoffs.

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.
Cold winters; Baltic coastal weather. Worker accommodation is centrally heated. Latvia has growing migrant-worker communities, especially in industrial cities. Free time activities, religious facilities, halal/vegetarian food access — these vary by city and CHI Recruiting briefs every worker pre-departure.
No prior experience is required for this position. Paid on-the-job training runs through your first 2-4 weeks at the plant, after which you operate independently with periodic supervision. Workers from any blue-collar background adapt smoothly.
Forklift or pallet-jack certification is paid by the employer and is typically completed within the first 2-4 weeks. Workers without certification still pick orders manually until certified — pay is the same.
