After graduating from a Swedish university, international students can apply for a post-study work visa to seek employment. The permit allows graduates to stay in Sweden for up to 12 months to find work related to their field of study. Applicants must have completed at least 30 credits or one semester of full-time study in Sweden and hold a valid residence permit for studies.
Once securing a job, graduates can apply for a work permit. If the employment lasts over two years, they may qualify for a permanent residence permit. The application is submitted to the Swedish Migration Agency, with processing times varying.
