Halloween
All Saints
Nato & Baltic security
- Turkish president sends Sweden's Nato application to parliament
- Swedish government: 'External force' damaged cable between Sweden and Estonia
Swedish TV series
- Are Swedes funny? Explaining the many types of Swedish jokes- includes regular panelist Richard Orange's opinion on På spåret.
- Swedish reality TV show brings Swedish-Americans back 'home'
Work permits
- 'We're losing the life we built in Sweden': Work permit holders dread uncertain future
- Who will fill Sweden's labour gap when immigrants leave?
- Reader question: Can I meet Sweden's new work permit threshold by working multiple jobs?
- What counts as salary under Sweden's new work permit threshold?
Correction: A previous version of the podcast stated that OB-tillägg is not counted as salary. In reality, it can be counted as salary if it occurs on a regular basis and is mentioned in your employment contract. We apologise for the confusion.
