If a person's right to a Latvian pension arises, taking into account only Latvian insurance periods, the pension shall be calculated in accordance with national legal norms. If the Latvian insurance period is not sufficient to create the right to receive a Latvian pension, then the insurance periods of other EU / EEA member states or contracting states are also taken into account in determining entitlement, but the pension is calculated taking into account only the pension capital accumulated in Latvia. 

The amount of Latvian pension granted to such persons may be less than the minimum amount of pension specified in the state, but in addition to the pension granted in Latvia, these persons may also receive a pension from another state for the insurance periods accumulated there.

The SSIA indicates the amount granted for a pension only as a pension granted in Latvia - the granted amount is formed from the pension capital accumulated at the 1st pension level and from the pension capital accumulated at the 2nd pension level, if the person has added it to the 1st level pension capital. In addition to the pension granted in Latvia indicated by the SSIA, a person may receive a lifetime pension (for the pension capital accumulated at the 2nd pension level) and / or a pension from other countries.
