What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?
The permit is tied to the employer and profession: a new job with another employer requires a new application, and a change of profession, duties or working conditions invalidates the permit; work for a new employer may start once a new application is submitted before the old permit expires. Family (spouses, registered or cohabiting partners, children under 21) can apply at the same time; adult family members and children turning at least 16 that year may work.

If you currently have a work permit to work for a specific employer but get a new job with another employer, you must submit a new application for a work permit.

If you change profession, get new work responsibilities, or your working conditions change in other ways, your work permit is no longer valid. This means you must apply for a new work permit.

Once you have submitted your application, you can start working for your new employer before you have received a decision from the Swedish Migration Agency, provided that you have applied before your previous work permit has expired.

If any of your family members also want to apply for a residence permit, they can do so at the same time as you. “Family members” are considered to include spouses, registered partners, cohabiting partners, and children under the age of 21.
