The SElf-Employment VISA PROCESS

WHAT WE OFFER

For U.S. clients without family ties in Sweden, a qualifying job offer, or plans to study at a Swedish university, the self-employment visa is often the most viable option for a long-term visa.

We can help assess whether this route is feasible based on your circumstances. If it is, our Swedish attorney will prepare and file your application and guide you through each step of the process toward a successful outcome.
