Fees
EU/EEA citizens who register their right of residence or apply for residence permit do not need to pay any fee. The same applies to family members of EU/EEA citizens.
Since 15 June 2011 the Swedish Migration Board does no longer accept cash payment. If you cannot pay with a credit card you will receive a paying-in slip when you submit your application in person.
If you have long-term residency in another EU country and apply for residence permit in Sweden or if you apply for long-term resident in Sweden, you pay the fee as described below.
| Fee | |
|---|---|
| Adult | SEK 1,000 |
| Child under the age of 18 | SEK 500 |

| Adult | SEK 1,000 |

You must pay the fee regardless of where you apply for your permit and the money will not be refunded if your application is rejected. As a rule, the fee is the same whether you are applying for the first time or applying to extend your permit.
Payment for application at embassy or consulate
If you apply for a residence permit at an embassy or consulate, you pay the fee when you apply. The Migration Board and Swedish missions abroad do not adhere to exactly the same fee regulations. Further information can be obtained from the embassy or consulate to which you are submitting your application.
Application to extend a permit
You pay either in person at one of the Migration Board's permit units or via bank giro. If you pay via bank giro, it is important to state the first and last names of the person to whom the application fee relates as well as their personal ID number and/or case number in the "Message to payment recipient [Meddelande till betalningsmottagaren]" box. If the fee is for several persons, then you must state all relevant personal ID numbers and/or case numbers.
Bank giro number
The number of the Migration Board's bank giro account for permits for persons with long-term resident status in another EU country and for applications for long-term resident in Sweden is 5223-6965. This bank giro account is also for family members of those who are applying for or who already have these permits.
State on your application form the method by which you paid the fee. Also state the date on which you paid and enclose the receipt.
Exceptions
Not all applicants are required to pay the application fee. The following persons may apply for a residence and/or work permit without paying a fee:
