If the job offer meets all legal requirements and the documents are complete, Migrationsverket (the Swedish Migration Agency) processes applications for highly qualified roles — typically those under SSYK levels 1–3 — within 30 calendar days. These roles usually require a university degree or advanced professional skills, such as engineers, developers, healthcare workers and financial analysts.
For roles outside this group — such as service, manual, or intermediate-level positions (SSYK 4–9), there is no guaranteed 30-day timeline, and processing may take longer. Permly helps avoid delays in both cases by making sure your application is compliant before it's submitted.
Yes — that’s exactly what Permly is built for. Many permit applications are delayed or denied because of simple but critical mistakes: salaries below the required level, the wrong SSYK classification, unclear job descriptions, or missing insurance documentation.
Permly’s system automatically checks for all these issues before anything is filed. We also simulate the review process used by Migrationsverket and the trade unions to make sure your offer meets every requirement from the start, so you don’t waste time or lose candidates due to avoidable errors.
A Fullmakt is a legally binding digital Power of Attorney that allows Permly to represent both the employer and the candidate throughout the permit process. It gives us the authority to submit the application, communicate directly with Migrationsverket and the relevant union, and proactively handle any compliance questions or documentation gaps. Without it, we would not be able to act on your behalf or ensure a smooth, centralized process.
While Permly manages the end-to-end application and coordination, some responsibilities remain with the employer. You are still the one offering the job, and that offer must meet the legal and professional standards required for a work permit — but don’t worry, we guide you every step of the way to make it simple.
You will also need to sign the digital Fullmakt and approve the final application before it’s submitted. The permit application fee can either be paid directly to Migrationsverket or covered by Permly and included in your invoice. Everything else — from document intake and union handling to tax coordination and candidate communication — is managed by our team!
Absolutely. Permly offers full lifecycle support for all work permit cases we handle. When a permit is about to expire, we’ll notify both you and the candidate well in advance and offer to manage the renewal process. If the candidate is promoted or their responsibilities change significantly, Swedish law usually requires a new permit. We help assess whether a new filing is necessary, and we handle that process if needed.
We also support cases where the candidate switches employers and a permit transfer is allowed. These follow-up services are billed per case, but there are no ongoing or hidden fees beyond what you specifically request.
Permly complies fully with GDPR and Swedish data protection laws. All candidate and employer information is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and stored securely within the EU. Only authorized users can access the data thanks to strict role-based controls. All legal documents — including the Fullmakt — are handled through secure, compliant e-signature flows.
Candidates also receive their own private portal where they can track their application status and access their own documents at any time. No personal data is ever shared with third parties unless the user has given explicit permission.
