Whether you are establishing, expanding, or relocating your business to Sweden, Global Goes Local can guide you with general legal services as well as finding the expertise needed. And if you employ international talents in Sweden, Global Goes Local can assist with work permit applications and has access to the fast-track process with the Swedish Migration Agency

In Sweden, most authorities have information available online and the Swedish society, in general, is very digitalized. To understand the legislation, the information on the websites of the different Swedish authorities, and which rules apply to which situation, Global Goes Local is happy to give guidance.

When setting up a business in Sweden different legal forms are possible, such as a branch or a limited liability company and registrations need to be done with the Company Register (Bolagsverket) and the Tax Agency (Skatteverket).

Sweden also has different rules and regulations for work permits and residence requirements for those moving to Sweden. Applications need to be done with the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket). Citizens of the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) are entitled to reside and work in Sweden without registering with the Swedish Migration Agency and can apply for a personal identification number. Generally, if you are from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland and intend to start working in Sweden you will have to apply for a work permit before coming to Sweden.
