It refers to the process of extending or renewing existing Swedish visas and residence permits to allow employees to legally continue staying and working in Sweden beyond their initial visa period.
Applications should be submitted at least two months before the current visa or residence permit expires, but not after the expiry date to avoid gaps or legal issues.
Work permits, residence permits for studies, family reunification permits, and certain visa types like visitor visas may be eligible for extension or renewal depending on eligibility and circumstances.
Applications are generally submitted online via the Swedish Migration Agency e-service or in person at a Migration Agency office. Required documents, biometric data, and fees must be provided. Employers often assist employees with this process.
Valid passport, current residence permit card, proof of employment or studies, income evidence, health insurance, completed application forms, and for some permits, proof of accommodation and family relationships are needed.
Processing times vary but typically range from 1 to 4 months. Some cases, such as highly skilled workers, may be prioritized for faster processing.
If the renewal application is submitted before the current permit expires, employees may stay and continue working legally until a decision is made.
Yes, fees vary depending on the type of visa or permit and are payable at the time of application submission. HR should advise about current fee schedules to budget accordingly.
Employees may appeal refusals within legal deadlines. HR should support employees with legal advice and guidance to resolve issues and reapply if necessary.
Yes, family members who hold dependent residence permits should coordinate renewal applications alongside the primary applicant to maintain their legal status.
Incomplete applications, insufficient proof of employment or income, lack of health insurance, or criminal records can delay or cause refusals; thorough preparation helps avoid these issues.
HR can track permit expiry dates, coordinate timely document collection, liaise with migration authorities, educate employees on requirements, and engage immigration experts when needed.
