Sweden PR: What Indians Must Know About New Rules

Sweden recently tightened its Permanent Residency requirements, which makes it harder for foreign workers, including Indians, to qualify. The biggest change is the increased income requirement, which currently stands at SEK 29,680 (around ₹2.76 lakh before tax at the exchange rate at the time of writing) per month.

Eligibility Requirements

In India, candidates must fulfill the following requirements for PR in Sweden:

Must have a valid work permit, with at least 48 months of residence (usually two 2-year permits).
Must prove having worked 44 months in the last 7 years.
Must establish financial stability with an adequate income and suitable accommodation.
Must be of good character concerning criminal consideration or other infringements of work/residence terms.

Benefits of PR in Sweden

Still, PR in Sweden offers far greater advantages:

The freedom to work with any employer: no sponsorship restrictions.
Security for families, with better prospects of residency-
Schengen travel flexibility- easy movement across EU countries.

Challenges for Indians

Some of the main obstacles include having to meet a steep income threshold and dealing with more stringent application scrutiny. Processing time delays are also a concern.
