Is it difficult to immigrate to Sweden to start a company?

The Swedish Immigration Bureau stipulates that foreigners who hold more than 50% shares in a company in Sweden can apply for a residence permit for self-employed individuals in Sweden.

There are three ways:

Start a company

The applicant invests in Sweden to establish a company that meets the requirements of the Swedish Immigration Bureau. The registered capital of the company shall not be less than SEK 50,000. If he applies for a residence permit as a self-employed person, he can live in Sweden with his spouse and children under 65,438+08.

Buying company

The applicant wholly purchases a Swedish company that meets the requirements of the Swedish Immigration Bureau. The amount of investment depends on the size of the acquired company, generally around SEK 2-3 million. Applicants who apply for residence permit for self-employed individuals can live in Sweden with their spouses and children under 18.

property rights

The applicant bought more than 50% shares of a Swedish company that met the requirements of the Swedish Immigration Bureau and became the largest shareholder of the company. The investment amount is generally above SEK 3.5 million. Applicants who apply for residence permit for self-employed individuals can live in Sweden with their spouses and children under 18.

Through the above three methods, applicants and their families can apply for Swedish citizenship after they have been in the company for two years, with a profit level not lower than the requirements of the immigration bureau and a normal salary.

So how can we really succeed in starting a business according to the official requirements of Sweden? This is also a concern of most people.

Through the above three ways, we will analyze them for you one by one.

Sweden requires a relatively low company registration fee of more than 50,000 Swedish kronor. However, the follow-up operation will definitely cost a lot of money and energy, so that the company can operate normally and the profit can meet the requirements of the immigration bureau before applying for permanent residence, which is too risky.

Buying a company means buying a Swedish company in full, usually around SEK 2-3 million. Investors take over their own operations, and their profits must meet the requirements before they can apply for permanent residence. However, in a foreign land, there are many "rules of the game" to learn. If it is not good, not only will the money be put in, but even permanent residence will be impossible.

Buying equity means buying most shares of a company from a local asset management company and becoming a major shareholder. The investment amount is generally above SEK 350 million, and the business of operating the company is still left to the asset management company, and it will quit after five years of investment. In this way, the asset management company is responsible for managing the business, and investors can easily apply for permanent residence after two years as long as they invest their money.

In other words, you can choose to let the asset management company do it for you, get permanent residency first, use these years to learn Swedish, and explore ways to do business in Sweden. This is also the way of equity investment, so that investors can reinvest the returned equity in the projects they are really interested in after permanent residence.

To sum up, the key point of investing in Sweden is to choose a project with ideal operating conditions in Sweden as the investment object. Learn to learn language and business skills in the past few years, and then do what you are interested in after the investment is withdrawn.
