Why Work Permit? Why Professional Help? Why Us?
Questions are raised from time to time why there are needs for foreign labour in Sweden, why some people need work permit in order to work in Sweden, why it is wise to seek professional help before applying for work permit in Sweden and how we can help out. This article addresses these questions.
Work Permits in Sweden – why(s)?
Why foreign labor?
Some of the fastest growing industries in Sweden are dependent on competencies that are not always available in the country or within the EU. This means that among Swedish companies it has become increasingly common to hire non-European labor.
The underlying reason for this can be easily explained in part by the large retirement of those born in the 40s and 50s, an increased life expectancy of the retired group, as well as failed planning and attractiveness to certain essential educations over the last two decades.
The shortage of skilled labor expands over almost all kinds of industries, of all sizes and across the entire country. The regulations allow the employing company to decide what skills they need to bring to Sweden.
Why is a work permit needed?
To be able to work in Sweden, most people who come from countries outside the EU / EEA must have a valid work permit. The permit must usually be applied for and be granted before traveling into Sweden. However, there are some exceptions to this. For example, foreign students who studied at a university in Sweden and fulfill the requirements and have a job offer may apply from within the country.
Why use professional help?
The process of work permit application in Sweden is time-consuming and troublesome. High demands are placed on the hiring company in the form of requirements for good and stable finances, a tidy background and more. The complexity of cases vary much and there are countless details to consider.
Small mistakes can lead to unnecessary and devastating consequences such as heavy delays or in the worse case, rejection. The regulations have changed many times since they were introduced in 2008 and have progressively become more complicated . An experienced actor knows which parameters to look at and how to prepare the case in the best way.
