Frequently asked questions
I have a permanent residence permit and I have a new passport. How can I receive a new permanent residence permit stickers in my passport?
Those who were granted residence permits in Sweden before 20 May 2011 received permit stickers affixed into their passports. Nowadays a residence card is issued as a proof of your residence permit instead. The card will contain your photo and fingerprints of two fingers.
You will need to visit the Swedish Migration Board to be fingerprinted and photographed. It takes about a week to produce a residence card. Note that the card is not an ID card or a travel document; it must be used with a valid passport when you travel.
