Basic Facts You Should Know

We do not intend to line up the regulations for work permit in Sweden on this page. There is plenty of that on the website of the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket). But there are a few basic facts you should be aware of if you are about to apply for a work permit in Sweden:

• People originating from countries outside the European Union and EEA in most cases need a work permit to be allowed to work legally in Sweden.
• Before applying for a work permit you must have a job offer from a company in Sweden and at the time of submitting the application, a contract must have been signed by both parties (the applicant and the employer).
• There are a number of occupations and situations when the person doesn’t need a work permit in order to work in Sweden. 
• Normally, the work permit must be granted while the applicant is outside Sweden but there are situations when you may be in the country while applying for a work permit.

• There is plenty of room for misunderstanding the rules and making errors that lead to unfortunate and sometimes catastrophic consequences.

Your Situation
