The web portal Workinginsweden.se provides a step-by-step guide to the Swedish migration process. It is aimed mainly at non-EU/EEA citizens interested in working in Sweden for at least one year. The portal also describes some of the advantages of a work life in Sweden. EU citizens and non-EU/EEA citizens interested in working in Sweden for less than one year can also find useful information about working and living in Sweden on the portal.
Applying for a work permit If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU and wish to work in Sweden, in most cases you need a work permit.
The quickest and easiest way to apply for a work permit is to do so online. Applications on the internet go directly to the Swedish Migration Agency and are given priority.
Basic information applicable to all countries is available here. In some countries, additional conditions also apply – for more information, select a country from the 'Select Country Here' drop-down list.
