After graduating from Latvia, international students can apply for a temporary residence permit to seek employment or start a business. This permit is valid for up to 9 months, allowing graduates to explore job opportunities without leaving the country.
To qualify, applicants must hold a valid Latvian degree and proof of financial means. Successful employment leads to a work residence permit, typically issued for 1–2 years, renewable based on contract terms. EU Blue Card options exist for high-skilled roles meeting salary thresholds. Always check the latest requirements with the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs for updates.
