What are the requirements for applying for Swedish immigration?

The popularity of Swedish immigrants in China is relatively low, but it will be relatively less difficult for everyone to apply for immigration. And look at the list of Swedish immigration methods. What are the requirements for applying for Swedish immigration?

Mode of immigration

Family migration

If you plan to live in Sweden for a long time with your husband, wife, cohabiting partner or your children or other close relatives, you should apply for a residence permit before going to Sweden. You can apply for a residence permit at the Swedish Embassy in Beijing. If you decide to live in Sweden with your family, the embassy will arrange a conversation after you submit the materials.

After the embassy has obtained all the necessary materials, your application will be submitted to the Swedish Immigration Bureau. Then the Swedish Immigration Bureau will inform your relatives in Sweden to talk and finally make a decision on your application. The embassy will inform you of the result of the application. If approved, the embassy will add the residence permit to your passport. You are not allowed to go to Sweden first and wait for the decision of the immigration bureau.

Self-employed immigrants

The applicant invests in a company in Sweden in his personal capacity. Applicants who choose to invest in this way need to apply for a self-employment permit from the Swedish Immigration Bureau. The validity period of self-employment license is generally 12 months, and it can be renewed in Sweden. The applicant's spouse and children (under the age of 18) will be granted a residence permit of 12 months. During this period, the applicant's whole family can take the slogan directly and enjoy the same social welfare treatment as the locals.

The Swedish government's inspection period for such investment projects is generally two years. As long as the company runs smoothly, the applicant has paid himself at least 12 months' salary within two years, which is enough to maintain the normal life of himself and his family. At the end of the two-year study period, you can apply for permanent residence status in Sweden, and you can apply for Swedish citizenship after three years.

Working immigrants

If you work in Sweden, you need to get a work permit in advance. If the working hours are less than three months, you must also apply for an entry visa; If you have worked for more than three months, you must apply for a residence permit at the same time as you apply for a work permit.

Sweden implemented the new labor importation policy from June 5438+February 65438+May 2008, and the application for work permit changed accordingly. According to the new regulations, work permits can also be obtained in some non-labor shortage areas. Previously, it had to be approved by the Labor Bureau (AMS), while the New Deal stipulated that Swedish employers had the right to decide who to hire.

The approved work permit is valid for a maximum of two years. You can apply for an extension of two years after two years. After four years (48 months) of work permit, you can obtain permanent residency. The work permit for the first two years is limited to the fixed type of work of the fixed employer. After two years, this kind of work permit is limited to the type of work.

Entrepreneurial immigrants

Perhaps the hardest part of starting a business is making up your mind. In Sweden, no matter what you do, no one discriminates against you, whether it is purchasing or consulting. Everyone who lives seriously by his own brain deserves to be respected. There are various institutions in Sweden that help young people, foreigners and women start businesses, and I happened to meet all three of them at the same time, so I got help from various local institutions, from manpower to material resources. After that, I will responsibly write an article introducing these institutions. After all, the policy five years ago was completely different from that now. What I see is that Swedish society is more and more tolerant and supportive of international students.

The most touching thing is that I didn't know Swedish at the beginning of my business. Every time I come to the tax bureau, they send the best supervisor in English to communicate with me. At that time, there were many problems, and they kept coming to the tax bureau. When they pushed the door, the staff quickly went back to their supervisor and said that Miss China had come again. Being encouraged and helped by strangers in a foreign land is very warm, so I hope to encourage and help more young people like me.

The difference between the self-employed immigrants in Sweden mentioned just now and the investment immigrants in other countries is that the self-employed only support themselves through their own efforts, and there is no limit on the amount of investment at all, only the time limit. For those rich people who have a lot of money and want to immigrate to Sweden, it becomes very difficult, because it is difficult to make a profit in a year or two by investing a lot of money in an enterprise, which is why it is difficult to invest in Sweden, because there is no concept of "investment immigration" in Sweden.

Marriage immigrants

Is to marry a Swedish citizen and get a green card. This way seems simple, but in fact it is the most controversial. In recent years, on the road of immigration, there are all kinds of people who choose to get married, fake marriage, marriage for foreign status and marriage for love. In order to get a foreign green card, there are not a few people who are cheated.

From the perspective of Swedish immigrants, although Sweden allows foreign spouses of Swedish citizens to apply for permanent residence and naturalization in Sweden, whether this "investment" is really worth exchanging their marital happiness for this foreign status is a matter of opinion. For most people in China, the challenge of maintaining international marriage is enormous. If it is a fake marriage, the consequences will be even more serious. If the Swedish Immigration Bureau finds out, it may be repatriated immediately and leave a lifelong stain on the passport. Therefore, taking immigration as the premise of marriage, friends need to be cautious.

Immigrants seeking employment

Now you can apply for a job in your country of origin, then get an offer from your Swedish employer, and then apply for a Swedish work permit. In short, if the Swedish employer needs your skills, then the work permit is not far away. First of all, you need to find a job and get a letter of appointment.

To find a job, you must advertise in EURES before you can apply for the job. If you find a job advertisement in other places, you can also ask the employer to send it to EURES website.

Find out whether your occupation is regulated in Sweden, and you need a special license to engage in certain occupations, such as medical service personnel, lawyers, electrical contractors, public school teachers, etc. To engage in these occupations in Sweden, you must first obtain an approved license or certificate, so please check the list of controlled occupations and contact the relevant government departments responsible for approving your chosen occupations.

When you apply for a job in Sweden, you need a resume and a cover letter. The full Latin name of your resume is curriculum? Vitae, meaning the course of life. The content of your resume should not exceed one page, but should include: work experience, education, achievements or awards, special skills, personal information about your personal interests and family, and letters of recommendation. Your identity and experience should be clearly visible in your resume. You can see a sample resume on this link.

Job Interview Once you have submitted your application to a potential employer, you may be invited for an interview. This will give the employer a chance to get to know you personally, because the interview adds a human factor to the recruitment process. Don't be surprised if some interview questions are not directly related to the job. You should be ready to talk about your family and what you do in your spare time. Please note that depending on your nationality or country of residence, you may need to obtain an entry visa in advance to enter Sweden for an interview.
