Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Latvian employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Latvian permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Every Latvian project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Latvian permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Latvian specifics below are the part that makes Latvia different from every other market we serve.
Work permit with visa D or temporary residence permit. The employer registers the vacancy with the State Employment Agency for the labour-market period unless the occupation is exempt, then invites the worker through the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs. The worker enters on a visa D with work rights or on a temporary residence permit.
Labour-market test: Applies via NVA vacancy registration unless the occupation is exempt.
Shortage occupations: Exempt occupations list exists; industrial and construction roles are in structural demand.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). Baltic deployments are verified by the MWO with jurisdiction for the Baltics; we confirm the current assignment before deployment. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Latvian permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Latvia is 2–4 months from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the Latvian permit and the embassy appointment in Manila. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Latvian employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Latvia covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Latvian route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Latvian contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Latvian employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the work permit with visa d or temporary residence permit under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
Typically about a month unless the role is exempt.

Visa D with work rights for a fast start; residence permit for longer horizons.
