Swedish Government proposes new rules for labour immigration to Sweden. The rules will create a more effective and flexible system which will make it easier for people to come to Sweden to work and for companies to recruit labour from outside Europe.
An employer who is not able to meet his or her labour needs through recruitment in Sweden or in other EU/EEA countries or Switzerland will be able to recruit labour from a third country if certain fundamental conditions, such as, for example, terms of employment, are fulfilled. It will also be easier to come to Sweden to attend a job interview. Permit periods will be longer and it will be possible for visiting students and some asylum seekers to remain in the country and apply for permits from inside Sweden. It is proposed that the new laws and regulations enter into force on 15 December 2008.
