Apply

As a client, you start the application by providing information about the employment. Once you have completed your part, the employee’s representative must proceed with the employee’s part of the application. The application will not be registered with the Swedish Migration Agency until the representative has filled in and submitted their part.

Have you prepared all the documents?
