温馨提示
- This is Latvia's NATIONAL long-stay (D) visa for remote work — not a 90-day Schengen visa.
- Remote work visa recipients do not have the right to employment in the Republic of Latvia.
- Your employer must be registered in an OECD member state, or you must be self-employed registered in one — the United States is an OECD member, so US-based remote workers qualify on that basis.
- Health insurance must cover Latvia and the Schengen member states with a minimum liability limit of 42,600 euros.
