The Swedish Work Environment Authority has issued new provisions that became effective on January 1, 2025. We will gradually update our website with current information based on our new provisions during the spring of 2025. In the meantime there may be outdated information and broken links on several pages.

Foreign workers in Sweden

Here is information on what regulations apply when an employer sends an employee to perform a service in Sweden during a limited period of time – so-called posting. There is also information on how foreign professional qualifications can be assessed against Swedish standards.

You can read more about this on the pages on Posting and Professional qualification in the menu at the left.

Several authorities have gathered information on the website Working in Sweden for those who want to come to Sweden to work or operate a company.
