Send Employees to Sweden
Send your employees to Sweden.With or without a Swedish entity.
Specialist help to send employees to Sweden — for international companies that need work permits for staff moving to Sweden. Whether you have a Swedish entity, a subsidiary, or no presence at all, we have a path for you. Everything runs in English. Fixed prices in EUR, excl. VAT.
The Challenge
Sending employees to Sweden is more complex than it looks.
Most international companies underestimate three things — until they’re stuck.
Hiring from outside the EU/EEA
To send employees to Sweden, you need 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 when you send employees to Sweden. Over 30% of applications are not granted.
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 ways to send employees to Sweden.
Depending on whether you have a presence in Sweden, we run one of three setups for you. We handle every party involved.
Hiring through your Swedish customer or partner
The Swedish workplace acts as employer.
- Swedish company handles salary, contract, and compliance
- You retain the operational relationship
- Most straightforward of the three pathways
- Common for technical assignments and partnerships
No Swedish presence? Employer of Record (EOR)
A Swedish EOR partner becomes the legal employer.
- Our Swedish EOR partner becomes legal employer
- EOR pays salaries with full Swedish compliance
- You retain the working relationship and direction
- Fixed prices in EUR, excl. VAT — reverse charge for businesses in other EU countries
- We work as the work-permit specialist within the engagement
Swedish subsidiary — Intra-Corporate Transfer
Move staff between offices in your group.
- 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
