Looking for a seasonal job that blends outdoor adventure, steady income, and cultural immersion? Fairmont Immigration Consultants is offering seasonal forestry and timber logging roles in Latvia—no previous forestry experience required. Spend your days in Latvia’s vast pine and spruce forests, work with local teams on sustainable timber operations, and earn while discovering Latvia’s nature-rich regions like Vidzeme and Latgale.

Perks & Benefits


• 🏠 Free Housing — Shared accommodation located near work sites.

• 🧰 Tools and PPE Provided — Protective gear and basic tools supplied.

• 🍲 Meals or Meal Allowance — On-site meals or daily food stipend.

• 🚍 Transport to Site — Regular transport between housing and forests.

• 🛠 On-site Training — Safety and task training so no prior experience is required.

Pay, Hours, and Earnings

• Sector minimum financial requirement for forestry and logging is higher than other sectors; seasonal workers must meet sector-specific subsistence thresholds set by Latvian regulations.

• Estimated earnings depend on hours and piece-rate opportunities; forestry roles typically pay above the basic seasonal subsistence threshold and may include overtime or performance incentives.

• Typical schedule ranges from long field shifts with seasonal peak hours; seasonal contracts are time-limited and tied to a specific employer.


Latvia Seasonal Work Permit Updates You Should Know

Non-EU seasonal workers can obtain a visa to work and reside in Latvia for up to six months within a year; the employer submits an invitation to the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (OCMA) as part of the process. Latvia updated its seasonal worker rules in 2025, introducing sector-specific financial thresholds and additional pre-approval steps for employers to justify why local candidates are unavailable; forestry has one of the higher monthly thresholds under the new rules. Farms and seasonal sectors face labor shortages and use official registration systems for short-term workers; some seasonal schemes limit employment duration (for certain schemes the maximum registered period is 90 days), so check which pathway your job uses.

Who This Is For

• Outdoor enthusiasts who want hands-on seasonal work.

• Students and travellers seeking a structured short-term job with housing.

• Workers willing to commit to physically active, team-based roles in remote settings.


How to Apply

1. Secure a job offer coordinated by Fairmont Immigration Consultants.

2. Employer arranges the official invitation and any State Employment Agency pre-approval required for forestry roles.

3. Apply for your seasonal visa at the Latvian embassy/consulate with required documents: valid passport, photo, travel medical insurance, and proof that the sector-specific financial threshold will be met.
