Posting of Workers Act

Posting of Workers Act

Anyone wishing to take up short-term employment in Sweden – for instance picking fruit, vegetables or berries for a grower during the season – must have a work permit.

Every year, employers in Sweden apply to hire a number of seasonal workers. County labour boards decide how many each employer will be allowed to hire. This means that the number of work permits available for seasonal employment is limited.

People staying in Sweden for less than three months do not require a residence permit. The citizens of certain countries, however, require entry visas. A list showing which nationalities require visas to enter Sweden is available here. Normally, visas are granted for three months at the most. You can read more about visas here.

EC Directive makes the Swedish National Board of Occupational Safety and Health a liaison office - new Swedish legislation on the working conditions of employees posted abroad.
