FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES
Bring Your Team to Sweden.
Whatever Your Setup.
Work permit specialists for international companies sending skilled staff to Sweden. Whether you have a Swedish entity, a subsidiary, or no presence at all — we have a pathway for you.
THE CHALLENGE
Sending staff to Sweden is more complex than it looks.
Most international employers underestimate three things — until they’re stuck.
Hiring from outside the EU/EEA
Sweden requires a clear, compliant employer setup. Without a Swedish entity, your options are limited — and choosing the wrong one delays everything.
Migration Agency rules are strict.
Salary thresholds, collective agreement compliance, union dialogue, the new June 2026 rules — every detail matters. Over 30% of applications get rejected.
Language and time-zone barriers.
Most Swedish service providers operate in Swedish only and on Stockholm business hours. Your HR team in Tokyo or Dublin shouldn’t have to deal with that.
YOUR THREE PATHWAYS
Three setups. One specialist team.
Whichever scenario fits your company, we map the work permit application to your structure — and handle it end-to-end.
PATHWAY 1
Hiring through your Swedish customer or partner
The Swedish workplace acts as employer.
Best when: The Swedish company where your staff will work agrees to act as the formal employer.
- Swedish company handles salary, contract, compliance
- You retain the operational relationship
- Most straightforward of the three pathways
- Common for technical assignments and partnerships
From €1,490 per applicant
Standard work permit application fee
PATHWAY 2
No Swedish presence? Employer of Record (EOR)
A Swedish EOR partner becomes the legal employer.
Best when: You have no Swedish entity and don’t want to set one up.
- Our Swedish EOR partner becomes legal employer
- EOR pays salaries with full Swedish compliance
- You retain the working relationship and direction
- Cross-border invoicing handled cleanly
- We work as the work-permit specialist within the engagement
Quoted per case
EOR partner pricing + our service fee. Free evaluation first.
PATHWAY 3
You have a Swedish subsidiary — Intra-Corporate Transfer (ICT)
Move staff between offices in your group.
Best when: You have a Swedish subsidiary or branch and want to transfer existing employees.
- Salary often paid in parent-company currency
- More complex compliance documentation — we handle it
- Family co-applicants seamlessly added
- ICT-specific permit category, separate rules
From €1,890 per applicant
Includes ICT-specific compliance work
WHY SWEDWORKS FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES
Built for clients outside Sweden.
Single point of contact in Sweden
One specialist, one email thread, one bill — not five vendors and three time zones to coordinate.
English throughout
Every email, every document, every call. No Google Translate. Swedish authorities communicated to in Swedish — by us.
EUR invoicing from Dubai entity
Clean cross-border invoicing through Iconic Digital Solutions LLC. No Swedish VAT registration headaches.
Time-zone flexibility
We work with clients from Tokyo to Dublin. Discovery calls scheduled to your business hours, not ours.
Cultural translation, both ways
We understand Swedish bureaucracy and explain it in plain terms. We understand foreign HR processes and bridge to Swedish requirements.
Pre-assessment before commitment
Free, honest evaluation of your case before you spend a single euro. We turn down cases we don’t believe will succeed.
