There are many reasons to consider Sweden as your next place of work, from some of the best working benefits in the world, amazing public transport, fast internet and a general relaxed everyday life (and the food is incredible too!)!
Recently, the Swedish Government and the Swedish Migration Agency announced that from the 1st November 2022, all first-time applicants for a residence permit, including permits for work, study or as a dependant of a Swedish resident, will be required to attend the relevant Swedish Consulate or Embassy to provide their original passport as part of the application process. Following this, the application will then be finalised.
For those applying for an extension to their Swedish permit, the use of a new passport in support will be required to attend the Swedish Migration Agency offices as part of the extension application process.
Currently, applicants who do not require a visa to enter Sweden are not required to attend a Swedish diplomatic post prior to a decision on their application.
