Documents showing that you have housing
If you rent your home
If you rent your home, you must submit a copy of your rental contract. You must also attach a rental notice for the previous month’s rent (1 month).
The contract must include:
- monthly rent
- number of rooms
- tenant’s name
- landlord’s name
- rental period
- signature of the landlord.
If you sublet your home
If you sublet your home, you must also submit documents showing that your landlord, tenant-owner association, or local rent tribunal has approved the rental arrangement. When a person in Sweden sublets a rented flat, it is the property owner who is the landlord, not the holder of the first-hand contract. A contract or agreement must be signed.
If you own your home
If you own your home, you must submit a copy of the purchase contract or another transfer document stating that you own the property. If the number of rooms is not stated in the document, you can attach a floor plan, housing specification, or similar document.
You must also submit documents showing what housing costs you have. Regardless of whether you live in a tenant-owned flat, house, or detached house, you must submit documents showing what interest expenses you have and how much mortgage you are paying.
If you live in a tenant-owned flat, you must submit copies of documents showing their monthly fees and other possible operating costs that are not included in the monthly fee, such as heating, electricity, and water bills.
If you live in a house or detached house, you must submit documents showing its operating costs. For example, these may include fees for heating, water, garbage collection, sewerage, community fees, property fees, or other costs tied to the home.
Documents showing that you have an income
If you have a job
If you work, you need to send in a copy of your employment contract. The employment contract must state:
- name of the employee
- type of employment (e.g., permanent, fixed-term, temporary position)
- Percentage of full-time employment
- wages/salary
- employer
- signature of an authorised representative of your employer.
You also need to submit a copy of your latest payslip. It must include:
- name of the person receiving the wages/salary (the employee)
- name of the person paying the wages/salary (the employer)
- net wages/salary
- any supplement or deduction to the employee’s wages/salary (e.g., for leave or illness).
If your employment is fixed-term
If your employment lasts longer than a year, you need to send in a copy of your employment contract and latest payslip.
If your employment is hourly or on-demand, you must send in a copy of their employment contract and three most recent payslips.
If your current employment will be terminated within the year and you have previously had fixed-term jobs, you also need to submit your previous employment contracts for the past year.
You can also submit documents showing that you are a member of an unemployment insurance fund (A-kassa) and that you will receive compensation from the fund if you become unemployed.
If you receive compensation from an unemployment insurance fund (“A-kassa”)
You need to submit a copy of the decision from the unemployment insurance fund and a statement detailing their payments to you. The documents should specify how much compensation you receive and the period for which you are entitled to compensation.
If you receive compensation from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency
You need to send in a copy of the decision from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency stating the type and amount of compensation you receive. The documents should state the period during which you are entitled to compensation from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.
If you are self-employed
If you only, or in addition to an employment, have a sole proprietorship or is a partner in a trading or limited partnership, your income consists of your share of the surplus from your own company, after deductions for personal contributions. This usually means the surplus from business activity that you declare in your income tax return.
You can show their income by submitting:
- a copy of your final tax notice for the previous income year
- a copy of your income tax return, together with a copy of your NE or N3A form, for the previous income year
- copy of your preliminary tax decision for the current year from the Swedish Tax Agency, or an account statement from your tax account covering at least three months which clearly shows how much preliminary tax you have paid.
If you are a partner in a limited company
If you are a partner in a limited company, you can show that you receive salary or other remuneration from your limited company by submitting the following documents:
- salary agreement and payslips for the last month (1 month)
- account statement from the limited company’s tax account covering at least three months, to show paid employer’s contributions and preliminary tax paid to the Swedish Tax Agency
- if you ran the business the previous year, you can submit a final tax statement or tax return documentation for the past year
- a copy of your income tax return for the previous year, and a K10 form from the Swedish Tax Agency if you have received share dividends
- extract from the Swedish Tax Agency showing the control data submitted for you for the past three months.
If you have a pension
You need to submit a copy of the decision showing the type of pension you have and how much pension you receive (annually or monthly). For example, you can do this by providing a copy of a decision from the Swedish Pensions Agency.
