How I help.
Everything I do is cultural interpreting: the words, and what’s behind them. For people moving to Latvia for work or to retire here, and for companies that work with Latvia.
Open a service to see what it includes and what it costs.
Personal assistance and interpreting
Offices, banks, schools, calls and letters.
I go with you where Latvian is needed and stay until things are sorted. I also notice what could go wrong next and deal with it early.
In person
- Visits to offices, banks, schools and doctors
- Meetings, events and product demonstrations
From €45 per hour, minimum 2 hours. Outside Riga, travel time is charged at the same rate.
Remotely, no need to meet
- Letters and emails to offices on your behalf
- Phone calls for you
- Forms, applications and appointments
Priced at the hourly rate. You get a quote first.
Translation
Latvian, English, Swedish and more.
I translate between Latvian and English or Swedish myself. For French, German, Spanish, Italian, Czech, Japanese and other languages, I work with colleagues I trust.
- Letters from offices, contracts, certificates, school documents
- Notary certification when an office asks for it
- Every translation checked by a person, never a machine alone
English ↔ Latvian: from €10 per 1,800 characters
Swedish ↔ Latvian: from €18 per 1,800 characters
Notary fee at cost.
For companies
When the words are right, but something still gets lost.
Reading between the lines
Replies come, but something feels off. Often it’s not the language, but habits: how direct to be, what a “maybe” means, why a long email gets no reply.
- Reading and adjusting your emails, offers and presentations
- Joining calls and meetings, and explaining afterwards what was agreed, what was left open
- A short briefing on how Latvian companies and institutions work
People you hire from abroad
I help them settle in well, so they stay and do good work.
- Personal assistance for new employees and their families
- Translation of employment and HR documents
- Interpreting at meetings and events
- Culture sessions for teams
From €45 per hour. You get a quote first. I can invoice your company directly.
Before you move
A video call and a written plan.
Still deciding? We talk it through online, wherever you are now.
- A free 15-minute call on WhatsApp or video. We see if this is what you need.
- A 60-minute video consultation about your situation.
- I send you a written plan within 2 working days: documents, areas to live in, schools, costs and a to-do list for your first week in Latvia.
€120 for the consultation and the plan. If you later book my help in Latvia, it is deducted from your first invoice.
Settling in
Housing, registration, schools and your car.
The practical part of a new life, done in the right order. I coordinate, and specialists I know do their part.
- Finding a home and checking the rental contract
- Address registration and residence paperwork for work
- Schools and kindergartens
- Registering your car
- Lawyers, removal firms and estate agents I can recommend

The unwritten rules, explained.

- A session for teams welcoming colleagues from abroad
Families: priced at the hourly rate. Teams: from €370.
Questions

Yes, up to 70 km around Riga (Jūrmala, Jelgava, Sigulda, Ogre, Tukums) and in Latvia’s larger cities by arrangement. Travel time is charged at the hourly rate. Online, I work with people anywhere.
Can I pay by invoice?
Yes. You or your employer receive an invoice from SIA Point of Contact, a company registered in Latvia.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. What you share with me stays with me.
