If you are a citizen of a non-EU/EEA country and a family member of someone who has obtained a work permit in Sweden, you can apply for a residence permit for the same duration as their permit. If you have secured employment yourself in Sweden and your residence permit is granted for more than six months, you may also apply for a work permit.

More information about residence permits can be found on the Swedish Migration Agency’s website (Migrationsverket): Family of an employee or self-employed person who apply afterwards External link, opens in new window.
