  • Practical experience driving heavy trucks and trailers over 3.5 tonnes.

  • Ability to communicate in English and participate in an employer interview.

  • Eligibility to obtain the necessary EU driving qualifications, including Code 95 where required.

  • Good medical fitness and satisfactory background documentation.

Nationality eligibility: The supplied partner advertisement excludes Bangladesh, Pakistan, DRC, and Somalia. MyJobBidesh should not advertise this particular vacancy as available to Bangladeshi applicants unless the employer confirms revised eligibility in writing. This is a partner-specific restriction, not a statement that Latvian law universally excludes those nationalities.

04. Why Consider Working in Latvia?

Potential advantages of lawful employment in Latvia include access to the European transport industry, applicable employee protections, opportunities to build international driving experience, healthcare coverage under relevant arrangements, and family reunification where eligibility requirements are met.

Long-term residence and citizenship may be possible through separate legal procedures after satisfying applicable requirements. A Latvian residence permit does not automatically provide permission to work or settle in another EU country.
