Mevcut vize yolları

Work Permit

Arbetstillstånd

Sweden's work permit is the standard pathway for non-EU nationals to work in the country. It requires a job offer from a Swedish employer with terms that meet collective agreement standards, including a minimum monthly salary of SEK 28,480 (approximately EUR 2,500). The salary must be sufficient to support yourself without social welfare, and the employment must include insurance coverage (health, life, occupational injury, and pension) from the first day of work.

Önerilen

Sweden's implementation of the EU Blue Card provides an alternative pathway for highly qualified professionals with a university degree and a high-salary job offer. The salary threshold for the Blue Card in Sweden is SEK 636,000 annually (approximately SEK 53,000 per month), which is significantly higher than the standard work permit minimum. This positions the Blue Card as a premium visa for senior professionals, managers, and specialists in high-paying fields.

ICT Permit

ICT-tillstånd

Sweden's ICT (Intra-Corporate Transfer) permit implements the EU ICT Directive, allowing multinational companies to transfer managers, specialists, and trainees from non-EU offices to their Swedish operations. The transferred employee must have been working for the company or corporate group for at least three months (managers and specialists) or six months (trainees) immediately preceding the transfer.

Sweden's international hiring is concentrated in technology (Spotify, Klarna, Ericsson), automotive (Volvo, Scania), the gaming industry, and a rapidly expanding green-energy and battery sector in the north of the country.

Yaşam maliyeti ve yaşam kalitesi

Stockholm housing costs around SEK 12,000 a month for a one-bedroom, and other costs are high but matched by strong salaries and public services. Sweden's 480 days of parental leave, subsidised childcare and emphasis on work-life balance are central to its appeal.
