Overview

The Sweden Work Visa (Work Permit) is a residence permit that lets you live and work in Sweden when you have a genuine job offer from a Swedish employer. It is issued and assessed by the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket), and it is the main route for skilled professionals from Pakistan to build a career and eventually settle in the Nordic job market. Approval rests on three conditions that Migrationsverket checks closely: a real, verifiable job offer with salary and employment terms that meet Swedish standards; a salary at or above the Swedish threshold and working conditions that comply with collective agreements; and compliance with the Migrationsverket checklist on insurance and other employments. Your offer must pay at least SEK 80% of the median salary published by Statistics Sweden, and the employer must show the job was advertised correctly before you apply. Our Sweden visa consultants in Islamabad prepare the file end to end — from reviewing your employment contract against aggregated-wage rules to verifying salary and conditions with your employer. Because we serve the twin cities, applicants from both Islamabad and Rawalpindi can attend in-person consultations at our Gulberg Greens office or work with us online from anywhere in Pakistan.
