Dear Reader,
Shortage of labour has been a hot topic in the Baltic States over the past couple of years. Emigration, demographic situation and pressure on wages have all contributed to the ever-increasing difficulty for employers to fill the vacant positions, both high-skill and low-skill. Although there are some efforts by the respective governments to foster re-emigration, as well as attempts by employers to introduce local mobility programs, it is clear that in many cases attraction of workforce from abroad is the only viable solution.
This newsletter has been prepared by COBALT pan-Baltic Employment practice group and provides an overview of the recent changes in immigration laws across the Baltics. We will be happy to answer your specific questions or to assist in dealing with a particular immigration law issue.
With Regards, COBALT Law Offices
