Technical support

Here you can get help if you need technical support when using the Swedish Migration Agency’s e-services.

Many calls to the Swedish Migration Agency are about problems that you can resolve yourself by clearing your browser history and cookies and using a private network. Please try these solutions before you call us.

If an error has occurred while you were using the Swedish Migration Agency’s e-services, the error may be saved in your browser. This means that errors that no longer exist are still visible in the e-service. By clearing your cookies and browser history, you will reset your browser and hopefully resolve the problems you have experienced.

In most browsers, you will find these clearing functions under “Settings”.

Sometimes the Swedish Migration Agency’s e-services do not work on public networks or various types of business or job networks. This is because firewalls can block e-services, even if you are using your own, personal computer.

We therefore suggest that you try using the Swedish Migration Agency’s e-services via a private network.

If you suspect that there is a technical error in the e-service or if the e-service freezes, try reloading the page by pressing F5 (PC), Command+Shift+R (Mac), or the browser’s “reload” button.

The first time you submit an application, you must create an account. To do this, you should select the “Username and password” button in the login box. Once you have created your account, an email with a verification code will be sent to your email address. If you do not receive an email from the Swedish Migration Agency, it may be because the spam filter in your email programme has categorised the email as spam. You should therefore check your spam folder for the missing email.

You must have access to the email address you specify in your application. The Swedish Migration Agency will use it to communicate with you. If you need to change your email address, you can do so via My page or by contacting our technical support team.

You have 30 minutes to fill in the information on each page of the application.

Use only the buttons on the form to go forward or backward in the application; do not use the browser’s buttons for this.

If you stop filling out your application or experience a technical interruption, you must log in again within a certain timeframe if you want to continue your application. For many applications, you have 30 days to do this before the information you have written is deleted, but for applications for entry visas, citizenship, and permits for studies, you have 14 days.

If you need to log in to continue your application, you must do so via the link in the email you received when you started your application.

If you have forgotten your password, you will find a reset function on the log-in page.

Once you have filled in all the questions, you can choose to print your application to verify that it is filled in correctly.

Once you have approved your application, you can no longer change any information or submit documents via the e-service. If you need to supplement your application with more information, you can do so by writing to us. If you need to send us more documents, you can do so by post:
Postal addresses

Once you finished your application, a confirmation will be sent to your email address.

To close your account, you need to contact the Swedish Migration Agency by phone.

You can reach us on telephone number 0771‑235 235 (for opening hours, see the page Call us). Select option 1 for our Contact Centre and then option 7 for technical support.

Please have your account details at hand during the conversation, i.e. the email address and phone number (in case you stated one) that you used to verify the account when you created it.

How to login and use our e-services

Persons who have e-identification (bank-id or mobile bank-id) can use it to log in and get information about their application.

Bank-id and mobile bank-id

Bank-id – use bank-id installed on the computer that you log in from.

Mobile bank-id – use bank-id installed on a phone or tablet.

What is e-iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and mobile bank-id?

You use e-identification to authenticate your identity and sign documents in e‑services. Bank-id is a type of e-identification that most banks use, and which is available in a version for mobile devices.

You can install e-identification on your computer, smartphone or tablet. If you have it on a mobile device, it is called mobile bank-id. With mobile bank-id you can log in to any computer as long as you have your smartphone or tablet with you.

Who can get e-iden­ti­fi­ca­tion?

In order to get an e-identification you need to have a Swedish civic registration number and be registered as a resident in Sweden.

How do I get e-iden­ti­fi­ca­tion?

The most common e-identification is bank-id. To get a bank-id you must contact your bank. How to order a bank-id differs between banks.

If you have an internet bank, you can log in and download your e-identification. It is free.

If you already have an account, you can log in using a username and password. The account was created when you applied in an e-service.

Create a new account

If you don’t have an account you need to create one. Select the log in method "Username and password", and click on "Create new account". Enter your email address and choose a password. To proceed, you will need to enter the code that you will be sent to your email address.

When you create your account, you can choose two-step verification. This increases the level of security on the account and means that you will be able to see more information on My Page. If you choose to enable two-step verification, you will also be asked to enter your phone number. A code will be sent to you via text message. Enter the code to proceed.

To be able to log in with two-step verification, you need to be able to receive text messages. If the text message traffic stops working, temporarily or permanently, you may need to change the phone number on your account to sign in again.

SITHS is an e-identification that employees at municipalities and regions need to log in to the Swedish Migration Agency's e-services for municipalities and regions.

Each municipality or region has designated administrators who can grant authorization to new users. Contact the administrator in your organization for more information.

If you are inactive and do not log out yourself, you will automatically be logged out after 30 minutes. Inactivity may mean, for example, that you did not click any button or link, but were only reading or writing text without saving.

Remember to close the browser if you are using a public computer, so that no one else can access information about you.

Frequently asked questions when using our e-services

If you do not receive an email from the Swedish Migration Agency, it may be because the email has ended up in your spam folder. If the email is not there, please call or email us for more information.

Another reason may be that you have mistyped your own email address. If you are creating an account, you will need to re-register.

If you have started your application and incorrectly entered your family member’s email address, no emails will be sent to your family member. Then you need to call or email us.

When you submit your application in the e-service, an information box will pop up stating that your application has been paid for and submitted. You will also receive an email from the Swedish Migration Agency confirming that your application has been received. This email contains a verification number in the format xxxxxxxx-xx.

When you have applied in the e-service, you can follow your case on My Page.

My page

If your family member has submitted a residence permit application to live with you in Sweden, you should receive an email with a link to a questionnaire. If you have not received the email, you can log in to the form here on the website. When completing the form, you will need the verification number of your family member’s application.

Questionnaire for the person in Sweden

If the person in Sweden has lost the email with the link, they can log in to the questionnaire here.

To the questionnaire

By logging in you accept the terms of use

No. Once you have submitted your application, you will no longer be able to add documents or change details in the e-service. If you want to submit more documents or information, you can post them to the Swedish Migration Agency.

If you fill in the wrong type of application, you may receive a notification that your personal identity number is incorrect. For example, perhaps you have filled in an application as a family member of a student, when you are actually a family member of someone who will be working in Sweden. Please check that you have started the right application. Call us if you are not sure which application to submit.

This may be due to a temporary disruption or that the Swedish Migration Agency’s mobile operator is unable to deliver the text message for some reason.

The text message we send does not come from a number, but the sender is MIGR. Some mobile operators categorise text messages from a sender with letters as spam, and some do not deliver such test messages.

An example of a country we cannot send text messages to is Turkey.

To check why you are not receiving the SMS code, you first need to contact the operator responsible for the mobile number to which the code is to be sent, to find out if they allow text messages from the sender “MIGR”.

If the mobile operator does not have any restrictions, you need to contact the Swedish Migration Agency’s technical and e-services support in order to troubleshoot the problem. You can reach us on telephone number 0771‑235 235 (for opening hours, see the page Call us). Select option 1 for our Contact Centre and then option 7 for technical support.

To log in with two-step verification, you must be able to receive text messages. If the text message traffic stops working, temporarily or permanently, you may need to change the phone number on your account to sign in again.

Such a change can only be made by contacting us by phone.

You can reach us on telephone number 0771‑235 235 (for opening hours, see the page Call us). Select option 1 for our Contact Centre and then option 7 for technical support.

When you contact us, you need to have access to your email address and the new phone number (which is not already being used for another account).

This may be because your card is connected to the 3D-Secure service. Sometimes the communication between the card issuer and the bank does not work when 3D-Secure attempts to verify the card. You therefore need to contact your bank if you cannot pay with your bank card.

Unfortunately, some browsers do not open forms or allow you to fill them in. Save the form to your computer and open it in a PDF programme, such as Acrobat Reader. You can also try opening the form in another browser. If you open the form in the latest version of Acrobat Reader, you can also save it once you have completed it.

The Swedish Migration Agency is responsible for considering applications from people who want to live in Sweden, seek protection or become Swedish citizens. Our work is based on Swedish laws and international conventions, with a focus on legal certainty and effective reception and return.
