Residence Permits

A residence permit allows you to travel and to stay in Sweden for a certain period of time. A residence permit can be a time-limited or a permanent. A permanent residence permit gives you the right to enter, stay and work in Sweden for an unlimited period. You must apply for residence permit if you intend to reside in Sweden or temporarily stay in the country for more than 90 days due to studies, work or private visit. The Migration Board will take a decision on your case.

You must apply for a residence permit before you enter Sweden. You must submit your application to a Swedish Embassy or a Swedish Consulate in the country you are residing or to a Swedish Embassy close to you.
