Sweden's Talent Visa Initiative

Overview

The Swedish government has launched a new talent visa initiative to attract professionals who wish to work in Sweden.

Visa Categories:

1) Jobseeker Visa

This visa is valid for 9 months and allows individuals to relocate to Sweden even without a job offer. Candidates can utilize this period to apply for vacancies and meet with potential employers in person.

2) Work Visa

This visa, lasting over a year, is intended for those moving to Sweden with a job offer in hand.

Application Processing Time

A standard work permit application is usually processed within 10 days, provided it is submitted by a company recognized by the Migration Agency.

EU Blue Card

What is it?

The EU Blue Card serves as a work and residence permit for non-EU/EEA nationals, mirroring the function of the US Green Card. It was created to simplify the process for highly skilled workers aiming to operate within the EU, offering extensive socio-economic rights and pathways to permanent residency and EU citizenship.

Who should apply?

This card is ideal for professionals planning to work in other EU nations over the next four years, offering advantages in transitions among EU countries. Some EU member states may consider the duration of holding a Blue Card in Sweden when assessing applications for permanent residency.

Application Processing Time

The processing time for an EU Blue Card application typically ranges from 2 to 3 weeks, although the Migration Agency has a maximum of 90 days to finalize it, meaning it could take longer in busy periods.
