THE REALITY
Over 30% of Swedish work permit applications are rejected.
Most rejections come from preventable mistakes — incomplete documentation, salary miscalculations, missed deadlines, or misunderstood regulations.
A rejected application doesn’t just cost time and money. It costs you the hire, disrupts your business, and can damage future applications.
We don’t submit applications we don’t believe will succeed. That’s why our success rate is over 95%.

OUR PROCESS
Five simple steps
Total active involvement from you: a few hours over a few weeks. We handle the rest.
- Steps 1–4: These steps typically take between 5–10 working days, depending on the response times from the employer, the employee, and the trade union.
- Step 5: The processing time at the Swedish Migration Agency is normally between 1–4 months.
REAL CASES
Real outcomes, real timelines.
IT & TECH
Swedish IT company, hiring a specialist, already working for another company in Sweden on a work permit
The applicant had changed jobs several times, resulting in overcutting work permits. A challenging case with tight deadlines. We secured the application within 4 weeks so the applicant could start his new job.
MANUFACTORING
Japanese corporate sending employed specialist engineers from Japan to a Swedish project
ICT (Inter-Corporate Transfer) pathway, sending Japanese employees to a Swedish entity. Coordination across 3 time zones, multiple languages, union dialogue handled by us. A satisfied customer who became a recurring one.
PUBLIC SECTOR
Regional public hospital hires a highly specialized doctor from Ukraine (European country but outside the EU/EEA)
Complex case involving medical licensing issues alongside the work permit. Needed a solution. We proposed an unorthodox but compliant solution that all parties accepted. Coordinated end-to-end with a successful result.
