Work Permits for Your Company and Your Employees
Applying for a work permit can seem complicated. We make the process simple, secure, and accurate, so you can focus on your business in the meantime.
Safe and easy
Hiring talent from countries outside the EU is often a necessary solution for filling job vacancies and securing the right skills. However, the process of obtaining a work permit can be both complex and time-consuming.
We help businesses navigate the entire process, from analysis and application to decision-making. With us, you’re in good hands, and we handle the entire process.
Why are work permits required?
All citizens from outside the EU/EEA (and Switzerland) need a work permit to work in Sweden. For employers, this entails a number of obligations and requirements: offering the right terms and conditions, advertising the position correctly, and submitting a complete application to the Swedish Migration Agency.
The process can easily become time-consuming and lead to delays if any step goes wrong. That is why we offer support throughout the entire process.
How we can help
We tailor solutions to your specific needs and circumstances. Whether you’re hiring a new employee or extending an existing contract, we’re here to support you as your trusted partner.
We can help you with:
Application for a work permit.
Application for an extension of a work permit.
Application to change employers.
Application for a permanent work permit.
Application for accompanying family members.
- And much more.

The Benefits of International Expertise
Recruiting internationally isn't just about filling a position; it opens the door to new opportunities.
Employees with an international background can contribute by:
Cultural understanding.
New networks and perspectives.
Innovation and new ideas.
Business opportunities in more markets.
Especially if knowledge of Swedish isn’t a requirement, the opportunities may be greater than many people realize. This opens the door to including people who have recently arrived in Sweden or who are planning to move here.
Regulatory certainty
We always operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. By staying fully up to date on the Swedish Migration Agency’s requirements, we minimize the risk of rejection and ensure that the entire process is conducted correctly and sustainably.
