What responsibilities does my employer take on under the Latvia employment residence permit?

Latvia places significant accountability on the employer who sponsors an employment residence permit. Officially, the employer bears responsibility for the worker's employment, including restrictions related to wages and salary, for the stay including place of residence and health care, and for removal costs.

This matters to you as the applicant because the employer is the driver of the application and the guarantor behind it. Choosing a compliant, reputable employer reduces risk, since shortcomings on the employer side can directly affect your status, your conditions of work, and the security of your residence.
