Want to make it easier for immigrants with higher education

The government presents a new organization for international recruitment.
The aim is to promote highly qualified labor immigration.
– We want Sweden’s to be competitive, says Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) at a press conference.

The Swedish Migration Agency must ensure that highly qualified labor immigration to Sweden is promoted.

– It must therefore be easy to apply for a work permit and it must be possible to receive information quickly, says the Minister of Migration.

The Swedish Migration Agency has decided on an international organization for recruitment, the minister announces.

– We will set up new units, says Migration Agency Director General Mikael Ribbenvik.

Last week, the Tidöparites presented a stricter subsistence requirement for labor immigrants. Today’s minimum level of SEK 13,000 a month must be raised to SEK 26,560 a month.

At today’s press conference, an organization was presented that will enable an easier path to a work permit. The new units will focus on highly qualified labour.

– This is important for companies that are expanding rapidly, he says further and believes that they will be able to provide “better service”.
