A D-type visa, also known as a long-stay visa or the national visa, allows foreign nationals to enter Latvia (for more than 90 days) for short-term and temporary employment irrespective of the applicant’s skill level. The National D visa is thus the main vehicle for seasonal workers coming to work in Latvia. Seasonal workers from third countries can thus be employed in one of 46 industries for a fixed period of up to 6 months.
