Pensions

We advise on pension rights in Latvia and the EU, help apply for pension benefits and clarify the recognition of work experience. Special focus on pension matters for citizens from CIS countries.

Pension matters are particularly relevant for those who have worked in multiple countries or relocated to Latvia after living abroad for an extended period. Recognition of work experience, pension recalculation and coordination between the pension systems of different countries all require knowledge of specialised legislation.

We advise on the Latvian old-age pension, disability pension, and on the possibility of receiving a pension from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries while residing in Latvia.
