Person with a work permit to work for another employer
If you want to employ a person who is already working in Sweden and has a valid work permit, you need to apply for a new work permit if the person has had a permit for less than two years, because the person will be changing employers.
If the person has had a work permit for more than two years, you only need to apply for a new work permit if the position is in a different occupation than the one to which the current permit relates. Otherwise, the person may work with you under their current permit.
Employee with work permits whose terms of employment will be changing
If a person who already has a work permit to work for you is going to change occupations, get new work responsibilities, or if the terms of their employment with you otherwise change, you and the employee need to apply for a new permit. The same applies if the company changes company registration numbers or is acquired by new owners. Remember to apply before the current permit expires.
