The process to apply for Sweden residence permit is given below:
Step 1: Choose the correct permit type (work, study, family, or other), confirm you meet the eligibility criteria, and gather all required documents.
Step 2: Submit your application online via the Swedish Migration Agency’s e-service—if it’s a work permit, your Swedish employer usually initiates it—then upload documents and pay the fee.
Step 3: Book an appointment with the Embassy of Sweden in Abu Dhabi to present your passport, give biometrics, and attend an interview if requested.
Step 4: Attend the appointment, respond promptly to any additional information requests, and track your case while it is processed.
Step 5: Once approved, arrange collection/delivery of your residence permit card, travel to Sweden within validity, and complete post-arrival formalities (e.g., personal identity number registration).
