To check whether a person has the right to work in Sweden, employers can request to see a residence permit card (UT card), a decision from the Swedish Migration Board on a residence and work permit, or an LMA card if the person is an asylum seeker, according to the Migration Board. The UT card must state whether the permit is temporary or permanent, and whether the person is allowed to work, according to the Migration Board.
Here is a more detailed description:
Residence permit card (UT card):
Everyone who has a residence permit has a UT card, which states how long the permit is valid and whether the person has the right to work.
Decision from the Swedish Migration Board:
A copy of the decision on residence and work permit can also be used to check the right to work.
LMA card:
If the person is an asylum seeker, an LMA card can be used to check whether the person has the right to work within the framework of AT-UND (exemption from the work permit requirement), according to the Swedish Migration Board.
Checking AT-UND:
Employers can check AT-UND by scanning the QR code on the LMA card, according to the Swedish Migration Board.
