Latvia, officially known as the Republic of Latvia, is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is one of the three Baltic states, along with Estonia to the north and Lithuania to the south.

Living and working in Latvia has its own unique aspects, for example, accommodation and real estate is affordable, with prices relatively low. Most Latvians prefer to buy property, but expats usually rent at first. Latvian lifestyle offers excellent shopping options, with shopping centers in almost every residential part of Riga. The society is a mix of conservative viewpoints and a quirky, Bohemian youth culture. Working in Latvia is almost the same as Slovakia and Lithuania but with its unique features.
