Pensioners living abroad must file an application with VSAA by 15 December
Latvian pension recipients living abroad, and certain residents who receive a pension or compensation into a foreign bank account, must submit an application by 15 December to continue payments in 2027.
Latvian pension recipients who live abroad must submit an application by 15 December to have their pension payments continued in 2027. The requirement also applies to certain Latvian residents who receive a pension or compensation in a foreign bank account. This is based on information published by the State Social Insurance Agency (VSAA), the institution that administers social insurance payments in Latvia, including pensions.
Who must apply
The requirement covers two groups. The first is Latvian pension recipients whose place of residence is abroad. The second is Latvian residents who receive a pension or compensation in a foreign account, but only those who meet certain criteria. The source does not set out these criteria in detail, so anyone unsure whether the requirement applies to them should check the information published by VSAA.
Deadline
The application on continuing payments in 2027 must be submitted by 15 December. It concerns payments in the following year.
