Residence/Work Permits

The Swedish Migration Board, or Migrationsverket, is in charge of issuing residence/work permits. Visit their English website for information. Alternatively, call 0771 235 235 between 8:30 and 16:00 on weekdays.

Their office in Stockholm is located in Solna. The address is Pyramidvägen 2A. See here (look at Solna Permit Unit) for the opening hours and the map.

The Permit Unit Office opens at 9 am on weekdays except Wednesday, but the building opens at 8 am. So it's recommended to arrive at 8 am even in freezing winter weather. When I arrived at 8:50, 37 people were already queuing, and it took 1.5 hours for my turn to come.
