Important to know

If you are granted a residence permit, you will receive a residence permit card. In order for the Swedish Migration Agency to be able to produce the card, you must be fingerprinted and photographed. If you have applied for the first time, you will be informed of how this will be done when you receive the decision.

If you are granted an extended residence permit, you will need a new residence permit card. You must therefore be fingerprinted and photographed again. When you applied, you had to book an appointment for this, and received an email with a confirmation of the appointment. If you have applied for several people, everyone must come to the appointment. Contact your Unit for Reception if you need financial aid for your journey to the Swedish Migration Agency.

You, and each person for whom you have applied, will each receive a separate confirmation that the Swedish Migration Agency has received the application. This letter can be good to have if you need to prove to an authority or employer that you applied for an extended residence permit in time.

It takes a few weeks for the Swedish Migration Agency to check whether you are entitled to protection under the Temporary Protection Directive.

Once we have made a decision, you will be sent a letter. It may take a few days for the letter to reach you.

If you change your address, please let us know as soon as possible, so that you do not miss any letters we send you.
