The Swedish Migration Board is still struggling to process
migration applications speedily.
Despite efforts from the Swedish Migration Board to shorten the
processing times for work permit applications, the applicant and
his or her employer may find themselves waiting for several months
or almost up to one year before the Swedish Migration Board takes a
decision. As qualified and skilled employees are crucial for many
businesses, the general recommendation is to submit the work permit
application through a company that is certified by the Migration
Board (such as Elmzell). A complete application will then normally
be processed within ten to 20 days.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
