Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding Sweden Work Permit application requirements.

No, not if the document is originally in English. Migrationsverket and Swedish consulates fully accept documents in Swedish or English. Certified translation is only required for documents in other languages.

Do Swedish consulates require Apostille on all certificates?

The sponsor residing in Sweden must prove they have sufficient income to cover housing costs and living expenses for the entire family. They must also have a home of adequate size (at least kitchen + 1 room for couples without children).
