(edit title) Work permit and Permanent resident permit (PUT) PUT in Sweden Options

[Kreativ]

Hej friends!

Can you please guide me, as I obtained a work permit since last year and now intending to continue study at Swedish Univ as already i am enrolled from this intake. There isn't any study fee applies on my case. My queries are-,

1. Can I change permit from work to study?
2. Is there any study fees would be obligatory on changing work permit?

Reply me those who had such experiences?

thanks

You will have to wait till 4 years from the time you were approved for the work permit to start your countdown. The first 2 years of work permit are for a "named employer and named profession". After the 2 years with that same employer and in the same position (job description)making at least 13,000 SEK monthly, you can apply to get your work permit extended to another 2 years. If you had changed jobs (change employer) during the first 2 years, you must reapply for a new work permit, thereby setting the counter to zero again. Read Migrationsverkets rules, they clearly state what I have just said and more. Read the threads and posts on the TL, there is a lot of info regarding this.

Prior to 2008, it was even harder to get PUT from a work permit. One was dependable on the employer to apply on your behalf for PUT. I have a friend who worked for 8 years in Sweden(prior to 2008) and was still on a work permit since his employer never agreed to sponsor him for the PUT. ... (hide full quote)

I couldn't find this on the website. Do you have any source for this?

It is there just not in so few words.

Visit was summing it up for it.

Will you be working part-time while you study or full time?

My guess is that fees would prob not apply in the first year since at the time of enrollment you qualified for an exemption.

However, when you were to renew your residence permit, the question of fees would arise.

How long have you had your work permit?

Why not keep it long enough to get a PUT and then go to study?

I just called up the migration board. No, it doesn't reset your days towards PUT.

study permits don't count for PUT - so you would have to start again if you want PUT

Good to know that switching jobs does effect the PUT 4 years counter..
