Welcome to the Swedish Migration Agency
Information for persons coming to Sweden from Ukraine
If you are a citizen of Ukraine, and have a passport or other ID document, you can apply for protection for you and your family who are in Sweden, via an e-service. On our website you will find information on who is entitled to protection under the Temporary Protection Directive and how to apply. You will also find information on how the Swedish Migration Agency can help you with housing and financial support and what rights you have in Sweden if you receive a residence permit.
For you who come from Ukraine – information and online application
Для осіб, що прибули з України – інформація по українськи та онлайн-заява (Ukrainian)
Для лиц, прибывших из Украины – информация на русском и онлайн-ходатайство (Russian)
The situation in Ukraine
The security situation in Ukraine has deteriorated severely following Russia’s invasion, and many people are now leaving Ukraine and entering neighbouring countries in Europe. On this page we have gathered information about the situation in Ukraine and what applies to people who are coming to Sweden in connection with the conflict.
Accommodation for people fleeing
Many people are now fleeing Ukraine to Sweden and who now need somewhere to live. The Swedish Migration Agency receives many questions from private individuals who want to offer a room or accommodation. Civil society's involvement is important, but the Swedish Migration Agency does not have the possibility to mediate accommodation from private individuals to those who need accommodation.

Our mission
The Swedish Migration Agency's mission includes considering applications from people who want to live in Sweden, visit the country, seek protection from persecution or be granted Swedish citizenship.
The Swedish Migration Agency is commissioned by parliament and government, who set the Swedish asylum and migration policy. We are thus commissioned by the Swedish people, through the politicians who make decisions on migration policy.
Working at the Swedish Migration Agency
There is a wide and varied range of work at the Swedish Migration Agency. It requires staff with various educational backgrounds, for example law, legal science and social science.
