On 29 January, the Swedish Migration Agency’s new way of working with work permits was launched. Central to the new approach is a developed service for employers who recruit highly qualified workers.
The Swedish Migration Agency will now prioritise service to employers that recruit highly qualified workers by introducing a new way of sorting applications for work permits based on occupation and industry and separating out applications that are ready for a decision. This means the Agency more efficiently can identify complete applications for highly qualified workers and make faster decisions in these cases. The requirements for obtaining a work permit remain unchanged.
Complete applications from highly qualified workers will be processed within 30 days. (For other applications, the time limit is governed by ordinances.)
