Sweden: Student Visa Regulation Updates
Key Points
- Sweden proposed changes to its visa conditions for foreign researchers and doctoral students
Sweden’s Student Residence Permit Changes
Sweden has proposed new immigration regulations to improve conditions for foreign researchers, doctoral students and other students. These measures aim to counteract abuse of the country’s residence permits and study permit system. The proposed measures include:
- Become eligible for a permanent residence permit faster.
- Enjoy greater travel options while your residence permit application is being processed.
- Limit work options outside of study.
- Meet higher requirements for obtaining and maintaining a residence permit.
These changes are intended to make Sweden a more attractive destination for international talent while ensuring permits are granted only to those who genuinely intend to study or work there.
