Wait for a decision
Complete applications are decided much faster.
What to do
Migrationsverket publishes how long 75% of cases took over the last 12 months:
- Highly qualified workers: about 1 month if complete, 2 months if not.
- Other employment: about 4 months if complete, 10 months if not.
The best way to speed things up is to submit everything correctly the first time.
