Our immigration lawyers in Sweden are at your service with complete services associated with moving to this country. Below, we invite you to discover how our lawyers can help you have a simple and easy transition when immigrating to Sweden.
What are the immigration services that you provide in Sweden?
Here are some of our services on immigration to Sweden:
- information about the types of visas and residence permits you can obtain in Sweden;
- guidance on the documents to draft when moving to Sweden for various reasons;
- representation with the Swedish authorities when filing immigration papers;
- post-immigration support.
NOTE: Our services are tailored to the needs of EU and non-EU citizens seeking to relocate to Sweden, as the conditions for each category of immigrants are different.
Do I need a visa to enter Sweden if I come from an EU country?
No, you don’t need a visa to enter Sweden if you are a citizen of an EU country.
How long can I stay in Sweden without a visa as an EU national?
The maximum period is 3 months. Following that, you need a right of residence (e.g. as a worker, student or self-sufficient person) and, if staying one year or more, must register with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket).
How about if I am a non-EU citizen? Do I need a visa, or can I apply directly for a residence permit for Sweden?
You must apply for a residence permit before travelling (no separate visa is needed for the long stay), i.e. a temporary residence permit at first.
What visas can you help me apply for in Sweden?
If you are planning to immigrate to Sweden and need assistance in applying for a visa, here are the main types of visas available under this country’s legislation:
- student visas for those interested in studying in Swedish universities or other educational institutions;
- business visas which are available for entrepreneurs and self-employed foreign citizens;
- employment visas for foreigners who have signed labor contracts with Swedish companies;
- family reunification visas, visas for artists and sportspeople, as well as visas for academic researchers.
What immigration services do you offer if I move to Sweden based on employment?
You can rely on us for:
- eligibility checks for a working visa;
- verification of the employer and employment offer;
- guidance on drafting the immigration papers.
Can you assist me in applying for a temporary residence permit in Sweden?
Yes, our Swedish immigration lawyers are at your service in both cases, as we also offer post-immigration support.
Can you help me reunite with my family in Sweden?
Yes. In such cases, our services are divided into:
- support for the incoming family member;
- assistance for the Swedish resident, who must meet specific conditions.
Do you also offer support in applying for permanent residence in Sweden?
Yes, if you decide to permanently settle in Sweden, our lawyers can help you prepare for applying for permanent residency.
Can you help me in case of visa rejection in Sweden?
Yes, our immigration lawyer in Sweden also has solutions for those who have tried to apply for a visa on their own and were rejected. We can review the documents and the application and advise on the correct approach. In most cases, missing documents are the most common reason a visa is refused, which is why the help of an immigration lawyer is essential.
What does working with your immigration lawyer in Sweden look like?
After a thorough examination of your reasons, our immigration lawyer in Sweden will propose the right approach and visa to apply for. Then, our specialist will start preparing the documents that need to be filed with the Swedish Migration Agency. This is where you will need to provide us with various information.
Once you have moved here, you will need to complete other procedures. Among these are registering with the local authorities in the city you will live in and obtaining a tax number.
