Questions, answered · Starting an immigration or relocation agency
What is the union statement in a Swedish work permit application?
Updated · Facts checked against the official sources below
During the application, the relevant trade union is given the chance to comment on the employment terms. The employer starts the application in the Swedish Migration Agency's e-service and sends the terms to the union for the industry; if the union doesn't comment, the Agency itself checks the terms against the collective agreement or what is usual in the occupation.
In detail
- The employer sends the terms to the union for the industry.
- The union comments on salary, insurance and other terms.
- No comment from the union: the Agency checks the terms itself.
