Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Family members are granted residence permits for the same duration and have full work rights.
Does this lead to PR faster?
You can combine time spent on Blue Cards in different EU countries to qualify for EU long-term resident status after 5 years.
What if I lose my job?
You are allowed to remain in Sweden for up to 3 months to find new high-skilled employment if your job is terminated.
Can I switch to a regular work permit?
Yes, but the Blue Card offers better mobility and PR path options for high-earners.
Do I need a Swedish ID (Personnummer)?
Yes. Once your permit is granted and you arrive, you must register with Skatteverket to get your personal identity number.
