Before you contact us

When will I receive a deci­sion?

The Swedish Migration Agency cannot say exactly when you will receive your decision. All applications are different and take different lengths of time. The Time to decision service contains information about waiting times and statistics.

You cannot get more information about the expected waiting time in your case by calling, e-mailing or visiting the Swedish Migration Agency.

How long it takes to get a decision depends on several things. Waiting times are affected how many applications the Swedish Migration Agency processes. Different applications also require different types of investigations.

Before we can reach a decision in your case, the Swedish Migration Agency may need to carry out one or more of the following steps:

  • Check documents, data, and passports.
  • Occasionally ask questions and request more information.
  • Carry out checks with other authorities.
  • Conduct an interview at an embassy (only certain types of applications).
  • If the application is for an extended residence permit, we need to ensure that the conditions for the new permit are met, but also that they have been met during the previous permit period.
  • If several family members apply at the same time, the waiting time for one family member may be affected by the processing of another family member’s application (only certain types of applications).

There are certain factors that the Swedish Migration Agency cannot influence, such as how long it takes to obtain information from other authorities or carry out investigations or checks via them.

Waiting for a decision can be stressful, and the Swedish Migration Agency is constantly trying to shorten the waiting times.

If you have submitted an online application and have created an account on My Page, you can see current information about your application, such as whether the application has been registered with the Swedish Migration Agency, whether it needs to be supplemented, or whether a decision has been made.

General, step-by-step information about how an application is processed and frequently asked questions can be found on the relevant web page for the application you have submitted; see the links below:

Contact us

Time to decision service contains information about waiting times and statistics. You cannot get more information about the expected waiting time in your case by calling, e-mailing or visiting the Swedish Migration Agency.

We will contact you if we need any more information from you. In that case, you will be contacted by post or e-mail, depending on whether you applied via a paper form or made an online application. If you have a representative who is representing you in your case, that person will be contacted instead. If you have an account on My Page, any request by the Swedish Migration Agency to supplement the application will appear there.

If you or your representative (if you have a representative) have not been contacted, we ask that you wait to send more documents than the ones you submitted when you made your application. You will not receive a decision faster by submitting more documents or documents that we have not requested.

If your circumstances change

There are occasions when it may be relevant to send information to the Swedish Migration Agency, even if you have not been asked to do so. This applies when the conditions for your ongoing application or current permit have changed. For example, if

  • the relationship on which your ongoing application or permit is based has ended
  • you resign or are dismissed from a job on which your ongoing application or permit is based
  • during the processing of your application, you receive a new passport from your country of origin that is not the same as the one you had when you submitted your application.

You can send updated documents or documents that show the change to the Swedish Migration Agency. You can find our postal addresses here: Postal addresses
