Sweden Now Applies New Work Permit Rules for Foreign Workers

Since June 1 Sweden has been applying new rules for labour migration, which include the preface of a demand for an employment contract and the obligation of employers to report any change in employment terms. The Swedish Migration Agency has revealed that the country has decided to introduce new labor migration rules in order to help the exploitation of workers as well as to attract and retain transnational capability.

 Sweden has registered nearly first-time work permit operations since the morning of 2022. This indicates that Sweden is formerly a seductive country for workers.

 â€œSweden is formerly a seductive country for people who want to come to Sweden to work. The new rules give the Swedish Migration Agency more tools to continue to promote labor immigration that meets companies ’ needs for capability and prevents people from getting the victims of mischief employers, ” Head of Legal Affairs at the Swedish Migration Agency, Carl Bexelius, countries.

 In addition, Bexelius said that the Agency hopes to ameliorate the conditions of foreign workers in the labor request and, at the same time, noted that due to the expansive changes, the processing times for work permits will be affected.

The Agency stressed that one of the most important changes it that the employment contract now must be attached to the operation in order for the Swedish Migration Agency to grant a work permit.

 Also, under the new rules, the Agency can bear the employer to report on the working conditions as well as oblige the employer to report if the terms of the employment contract have come less favorable.

 Employers who fail to report the working conditions at the request of the Agency may be subject to forfeiture.

 â€œWith these changes, we will have a lesser occasion to address some of the abuse of the system that occurs, especially in certain diligence, while at the same time being suitable to help people from being the victims of mischief employers,” Bexelius added.

Another change is the preface of a conservation demand for family migration tied to foreign labor. The rules will be more analogous to those that apply to other family migration, but without a demand for the casing of a certain standard.

 Piecemeal from the below- mentioned, changes have also been made to help foreign workers from being expelled due to minor crimes.

 â€œMinor diversions shouldn't have to lead to opinions to expel people who are established in the labor request,” Bexelius emphasized.

 Incipiently, changes are aimed to attract and retain transnational capability. A new occupancy permit that will remain valid for over to nine months is being introduced by the Swedish authorities for largely good workers who wish to stay in the country.
