What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

This route is for intra-corporate transferees who already hold an ICT permit in another EU country and are going to work for the same group in Sweden; they can apply for the long-term mobility permit while in Sweden.

See recorded sources

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

This route presupposes an ICT permit already issued by another EU country: the applicant applies for long-term mobility when going to work in Sweden for longer than 90 days for the same corporate group. The underlying employer remains the business outside the EU/EEA that employs the applicant, with the Swedish business being its subsidiary or a subsidiary of a business within the same group.

    are going to work as a manager, specialist, or trainee/intern at a business in Sweden that is established in Sweden and is a subsidiary of the business you are employed by outside the EU/EEA, or a subsidiary of a business within the same group

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The applicant must work for the business in Sweden as a manager, specialist or trainee/intern for more than 90 days, must have the professional qualifications and experience for the manager or specialist assignment (or the education required for a traineeship), and salary and other terms must be at least at the level for employees posted to Sweden. A copy of the current ICT permit from the other EU country must be attached.

Limits of the record
  • The requirement list is written for ICT permits in general; the page does not separate which items apply unchanged to long-term mobility.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

A granted permit gives the right to live and work in Sweden as long as it is valid. With an ICT permit from another EU country, the holder can enter Sweden and work while waiting for a decision, provided the current permit is still valid or the 90-day limit (90 days in any 180-day period) has not passed. Family members (spouses, registered partners, cohabiting partners and children under 18) can apply at the same time; if granted, adult family members and children who turn at least 16 during the current year may work. The official source does not state whether the holder may change employer.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not state explicitly whether the holder may change employer or work outside the intra-corporate assignment.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

A long-term mobility ICT permit is granted for the same period as the current ICT permit from the other EU country is valid. It cannot be granted once the maximum intra-corporate transfer period (three years for managers or specialists, one year for trainees/interns) has been reached; the person must then leave the EU/EEA area and apply for a new ICT permit. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction.

  • The page does not describe any longer-term or permanent residence direction.
