Submit your application well in advance before Christmas and New Year’s vacation

Before this year’s longer vacation times around Christmas and New Year, the Swedish Migration Agency is asking all those applying for a work permit and all employers concerned to submit their application well in advance.

Christmas leave between 21 December and 2 January results in a long consecutive leave. This means that the Agency’s capacity to process applications is slightly reduced during this time. The Agency’s ability to answer questions is also limited.

To the extent possible, both those who are applying and the employers concerned are asked to apply well in advance and to take Christmas and New Year’s leave into account.

The Swedish Migration Agency would also like to urge applicants to ensure that the documents submitted are fully filled out and complete. It will make it easier for the Swedish Migration Agency to process your case as quickly and efficiently as possible.
