Your employer starts your application

Your employer in Sweden will start your application by submitting information about your employment to the Swedish Migration Agency. To do this, your employer needs information about your name, date of birth, citizenship and email address. Once your employer has completed their part of the application, you will receive a link via email, which you should use to continue with your part of the application. Only once you have completed and submitted your part of the application will it be registered with the Swedish Migration Agency.

You complete your application

Once you have received the email with the link, log in to the e-service and fill in the information about yourself. You must also check that the information about your terms and conditions of employment corresponds to what you and your employer have agreed. Once you have completed your part of the application and have submitted it, it will be registered with the Swedish Migration Agency.

What country or territory do you live in?
