Requirements for an online application

The Migration Agency's web applications and e-services require that you and your device meet certain requirements.

To be able to apply online you must

  • have reached the age of 18,
  • have a valid e-mail address,
  • have a mobile phone, if you have not previously created an account,
  • be able to pay the application fee using a Visa or Mastercard/Eurocard card,
  • be able to scan or photograph the documents to be attached.

Attach docu­ments

The documents that you send as attachments to your online application must be in the formats pdf, doc, docx, jpg, png, rtf or txt. Only Latin characters may be used in the file name.

The size of attached documents must not exceed 20 megabytes (MB) per file. All attached documents combined must not exceed 500 MB.

Check that the information on the documents you include is seen clearly. On passport copies, figures and characters at the top and bottom of the passport pages must also be seen clearly.

The documents should be translated into Swedish or English by an authorized translator. You must always include a copy of the original document.
