HKSAR passport holders can enter Sweden visa-free for three months and work as domestic helpers in the homes of relatives and friends in Sweden.

Before you can work in Sweden, you should get a work permit in advance. If the working time is less than three months, you must apply for a visa; If it is more than three months, you should also apply for a residence permit while applying for a work permit. Under normal circumstances, the immigration bureau will only approve the work permit if it is employed in some special fields or international exchange projects with labor shortage.

You can submit a work permit application at the Swedish embassy or consulate in your area. If necessary, the embassy or consulate will inform the interview. Most applications will be sent to the Swedish Immigration Bureau for approval. If approved, the Swedish Immigration Bureau will send the residence permit to the embassy in China upon completion. You can also submit an application directly on the website of the Immigration Bureau.

Please note: if you submit your application by mail or online, you must leave your biometric features at the embassy or consulate so that the immigration department can make a residence card.
