Can I live in Sweden after studying?

Yes, you can live in Sweden after completing your studies, provided you meet certain conditions. Non-EU/EEA students must apply for a work permit or residence permit for employment or self-employment within six months of graduating. EU/EEA citizens can stay without restrictions but must register if remaining longer than three months.

To qualify, secure a job or start a business meeting Swedish income requirements. The permit duration depends on employment terms. Permanent residency is possible after four years of continuous legal residence. Ensure timely applications to avoid gaps in legal status.
