Residence permit – what happens then?

Residence permit means that you have had your application for asylum approved. You can stay in Sweden.

What happens if we get a residence permit?


Then you will be summoned to a meeting with the staff at the Reception Unit. At this meeting you will receive a certificate that shows that you have received a residence permit. You will find out what your decision says and why you have received a residence permit.

A permanent residence permit means that you have the right to stay in Sweden for as long as you want. In some cases the Swedish Migration Board can grant a residence permit that is valid for a certain period of time, for example a year.

If you have arranged your own accommodation, you will be discharged from the Swedish Migration Board 30 days after the day you received your decision.

If you have stayed in one of the Swedish Migration Board´s accommodation centres and can´t arrange accommodation yourselves, the Swedish Public Employment Service will help you.

What will we do when we have received a residence permit?


You and your family will visit the Swedish Tax Agency for registration. This means that you will receive personal code numbers with the last four digits.
