Warning for incorrect visa and residence information

It has come to the Embassy’s attention that several persons have been made to believe that by purchasing property in Sweden or establishing a Swedish company, they will be able to have a fast track for the necessary permits to live and work in Sweden.

This is not the case. Owning a property in Sweden or nominally registering a Company do not create any special advantages when applying for a Schengen visa or for a stay permit.

The Embassy would therefore highly recommend anyone interested in purchasing property in Sweden or registering a Swedish Company via private entrepreneurs in the UAE, to check the official regulations with the Embassy before finalizing any purchase.

For information in English regarding residence permit in Sweden as a self-employed please read the fact sheet you can download on the right hand side of this page.
