Sweden Work Permit
If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU/EEA and have found employment in Sweden, you will generally need a work permit before you can work there. The Swedish Migration Agency requires the employment to meet specific conditions before a work permit can be granted.
Your employment must normally include:
- A valid employment contract signed by you and your employer
- Employment conditions comparable with Swedish collective agreements or common practice
- Required employer-provided insurance
- Salary meeting the applicable Swedish work permit threshold
- A valid passport
The employer generally starts the work permit application by providing information about the employment. The applicant then receives a link to complete their part of the application.
Sweden Work Visa Requirements from Pakistan
The exact requirements can vary depending on your employment and individual circumstances. However, applicants generally need documents such as:
- Valid passport
- Signed employment contract
- Job offer from a Swedish employer
- Educational certificates
- Professional qualification documents
- Work experience certificates
- Updated CV
- Employment-related documents
- Proof of required insurance arrangements
- Passport photographs where required
- Additional supporting documents requested by the Swedish authorities
Your salary and employment conditions must satisfy the applicable Swedish requirements. Since June 1, 2026, the general salary requirement is at least 90% of Sweden’s median salary at the time of application. Based on the current median salary, this is SEK 34,470 per month. The salary may need to be higher if Swedish collective agreements or normal industry practice require it.
Important: Salary thresholds and immigration rules can change. FMA Consultants can review your employment offer against the current requirements before you proceed.

Sweden Work Permit Salary Requirement
One of the most important aspects of a Swedish work permit application is the salary requirement.
From June 1, 2026, the general salary requirement for a Swedish work permit is at least 90% of the median salary in Sweden at the time of application. The current requirement is SEK 34,470 per month. In addition, the salary and other employment conditions must be in line with Swedish collective agreements or common practice in the relevant profession or industry.
Certain professions and applicant groups may be subject to exemptions or different requirements. For example, the Swedish Migration Agency lists certain healthcare professionals, former students and researchers, and some employees of qualifying technology or life-science companies among groups that can be exempt from the general salary requirement.
Because the applicable requirement depends on your circumstances, it is important to assess your employment offer before submitting an application.
