How do I get a job in Sweden?

An EU/EEA citizen who is an employee, self-employed or a student, or who has sufficient funds to support himself/herself has a right to reside in Sweden. The term "right to reside" means that an EU/EEA citizen and his or her family members are permitted to be in Sweden for more than three months without a residence permit. A person who has a right of residence must register with the Migration Board no later than three months after entering the country.

Please check www.monster.se or www.jobsinstockholm.com for job opportunities.

You find the Swedish Public Employment Service here.

If you are not an EU/EEA citizen, you need to have an offer from a Swedish company first, after which you can apply for a job and residence permit at your nearest Swedish Diplomatic Mission. A work permit is obligatory in order to work in Sweden. Once you have been granted a permit, it must be entered into your passport before your arrival.

For more information about work permits and residence permits, please visit www.migrationsverket.se
