Latvian immigration authority PMLP has permitted the staff of TV Rain, a liberal Russian media company exiled in Latvia, to keep their Latvian work visas after the revocation of TV Rain’s broadcasting license.
After conducting an inquiry, the officials concluded that TV Rain’s professional team is still working in journalism, maintaining the original grounds on which visas had been granted to TV Rain staff.
Although TV Rain’s broadcasting license has not been reinstated, the company can continue producing digital content in Latvia.
