On 07.03.2018 came in to force Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers on specialties (professions), in which a significant shortage of labor force is forecast and where foreigners may be invited to work in Latvia. Consequently, the conditions for the attraction of highly qualified specialists from abroad are relaxed.

The Ministry of Economics says: "The lack of highly qualified specialists, which is currently observed in a number of companies, especially in the manufacturing and ICT sectors, limits the growth of the Latvian economy, the increase in the productivity of enterprises and the attraction of investments, and thus the creation of well-paid jobs".

France, officially the French Republic (French: République française), is a country with which almost every traveler has a relationship. Many dreams of its joie de vivre shown by the countless restaurants, picturesque villages, and world-famous gastronomy.

France has been the world's most popular tourist destination for quite some time. It received 83.7 million visitors in 2014, although these figures are highly skewed by the number of people who frequent the country for the weekend, particularly to visit Disneyland Paris, Europe's most popular visitor attraction.

France has four broad climatic zones: the humid seaboard zone west of the line Bayonne-Lille with cool summers.

a semi-continental zone with cold winters and hot summers in Alsace-Lorraine, along with the rhodamine corridor and in the mountainous massifs (the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central). Three types of climate may be found within France: oceanic, continental, and Mediterranean.

France is famous for its wines and cheeses. Visitors are attracted by historic cities, a beautiful countryside, the castles of the Loire Valley, and Brittany and Normandy. In addition, France offers an agreeable climate, some excellent beaches on the French Riviera, the Atlantic coast and the island of Corsica, wide possibilities for winter sports, most notably in the Alps and the Pyrenees, and a rich culture with food and wines that are among the most celebrated in the world.

Residence Permit in UK

If you want to live in the United Kingdom, you don't need to apply for a document to prove

you can live there unless you're from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or

Switzerland, an extended family member of someone from the EEA or Switzerland.

A residence card usually lasts up to 5 years.

If your residence card expires before the new scheme is available, you should reapply for

another residence card.

To make a new card you’ll need to:

• have a digital photo taken of your face

• put your fingers on a glass screen to be scanned

• give your signature

• The process takes less than 5 minutes and doesn’t involve any ink or mess.

Keep in mind - If you already have a permanent residence document it won’t be valid after

the UK leaves the EU.

''On 29 March 2017, the government triggered Article 50, which began the formal process for

the UK to leave the EU on 29 March 2019.''

People who arrive at the UK by 29 March 2019, but won’t have been living here lawfully for

5 years when we leave the EU, will be able to apply to stay until they have reached the

5-year threshold. They can then also apply for settled status.

Here is an easy scheme:

Some countries have adopted biometric residence permits, which are cards including

embedded machine-readable information (documents whose content can be readily

processed by computers).
