Higher educa­tion insti­tu­tions with the possi­bi­lity of a two-year resi­dence permit for studies

The Swedish Migration Agency has signed an agreement with several higher education institutions, which makes it possible to obtain a residence permit for up to two years for studies at these institutions.

This means, among other things, that university students who have to pay a tuition fee at these universities can apply for up to two years of residence permits at a time. This applies both to first time applications and application for extension of residence permit.

Here are all the higher education institutions that have an agreement with the Swedish Migration Agency:
