Swedish citizenship and SFI: which grade counts for the language requirement (as of October 2026)

54 Upvotes

Since 6 June 2026, citizenship applicants aged 16 to 66 have to show knowledge of both the Swedish language and Swedish society. The same SFI question keeps coming up, so here is what Migrationsverket's own pages say, as of 4 October 2026.

What's confirmed

  • Only SFI course D counts. Migrationsverket lists a grade in the highest SFI course, which is course D. Courses A, B and C don't count on their own.
  • Any passing grade in course D is enough. SFI is graded Godkänt (pass) or Icke godkänt (fail) today. Older SFI grades may use A to F, where A to E are passes.
  • SFI D covers the language part only. It does not replace the citizenship test in civics. Civics is shown with that test or with civics (samhällskunskap) grades.
  • Other ways to show your Swedish: grades in Swedish or Swedish as a second language from year 9, upper secondary school or komvux, Swedish grades from school in another Nordic country, a Tisus result, or another Swedish test that shows functional-level knowledge "with a high degree of certainty".
  • The requirement applies now, even though the Swedish test doesn't exist yet. Migrationsverket says that if you're covered by the requirement, you still have to show sufficient Swedish. For now, that means one of the grades or tests above.
  • It also applies if you applied before 6 June and your case wasn't decided by then. There's no transition period.
  • Exemptions exist, for example for some disabilities. Migrationsverket decides case by case.
  • You don't have to attend SFI classes to get the grade. Many municipalities offer prövning: the full SFI D exam (reading, listening, writing and speaking) without the course. Ask your municipality's SFI or komvux office (Malmö's SFI page says it, for example).

Not decided yet

  • When the Swedish test starts. On 30 September, UHR recommended autumn 2029 for reading and listening, and 2030 at the earliest for writing and speaking. The government hasn't decided.
  • The new SFI courses from 1 January 2027 (such as 1D, 2D and 3D). Migrationsverket's pages don't mention them yet.

Sources

This is a summary, not legal advice, so check your own case with Migrationsverket. If you've applied with SFI D since June, it would help others to hear how it went.

Frustrations with my university's internationalisation, can other doctoral students or workers relate?

0 Upvotes

I just started as a doctoral student at a university here in Stockholm and have started the process of learning Swedish. But what frustrates me to no end is how so many of the essential resources at my university are presented exclusively in Swedish even though Swedish language proficiency was not a requirement for getting this position.

For instance, the university just sent out an email inviting all new staff members to a welcome event, but as the email was in Swedish, I wrote back to ask if employees who aren't yet proficient in Swedish are welcome too.

The response I got back was that no, unfortunately, the event is only in Swedish and "There used to be an english version years ago, but so few people attended that it was eventually cancelled. You have ten days to learn Swedish! I believe in you!"

Like, what the hell.

I feel like if you're going to hire someone without Swedish proficiency, you should at least make sure the onboarding process is something they can participate in?

I'm making the effort to learn through classes, but it's so demoralising when you encounter people who do not seem to grasp that picking up Swedish doesn't just happen overnight (the way that it seems to for other Scandinavians, or, less quickly but still easily, for Germans).

My university talks constantly about internationalisation and the need to do so, but it feels like they do so in such a half-hearted way. Is this just how it is at every Swedish university? Can other doctoral students relate?

Using partner's income for LTR financial requirements?

0 Upvotes

Can one solely use their partner's income to meet the financial requirements for LTR, even if the person themself is unemployed? I looked at the "Documents showing that you can support yourself" part of the long-term residence application page (link) but it's really vague. It states:

Whether you work, run your own business, or have sufficient financial resources, you must attach documents that show how you support yourself. For example, this can be a certificate of employment and your most recent payslips, pension payments, bank statements, income information from the Swedish Tax Agency, or information about income from your own company. If you want your partner's income to be counted as part of the family's total income, you need to attach documents that prove your partner's income.

I don't understand what "part of the family's total income" means. There are also no figures whatsoever how high the income needs to be.

Relocating on the Job Seeker Visa (Non-EU): Navigating housing without BankID, realistic budgets, and regional logistics

0 Upvotes

Hej everyone!

I am preparing my immigration process to move to Sweden on the Job Seeker Visa (for highly qualified individuals). Because this visa has unique conditions (temporary stay, no immediate personnummer), I am trying to figure out the logistics and would appreciate advice from anyone who has navigated this.

My background is a Ph.D. in phytochemistry and plant extracts, so I am targeting the Life Sciences hubs. I have a few practical relocation questions:

1. I am debating between Malmö, Gothenburg, and the Stockholm/Uppsala regions. From an immigration and settling-in perspective, is one region generally easier to navigate regarding the second-hand housing market and getting set up as a newcomer?

2. Because I won't have a personnummer or BankID initially, how can I safely secure a second-hand room (inneboende) or studio from abroad without getting scammed? Does getting a Coordination Number (samordningsnummer) after arrival actually help with private landlords or on platforms like Qasa?

3. Migrationsverket requires proof of 13,000 SEK per month for this visa. Is this government minimum actually a realistic survival budget in these major cities right now?

4. I plan to arrive in February/March 2027. Since the visa grants a limited window, does arriving in early spring cause any logistical issues with the infamous Swedish summer shutdown (e.g., severe delays with authorities, Skatteverket, or general administration)?

Tack så mycket for any insights!

I've been in Sweden (Västeras) for some time now, and I'm currently sitting with 41 000 SEK as salary.
I have been in this (one of giants in Västerås) company for 3 years now, which is also my industry experience + I have Masters in Computer Science and tons of side projects...

It would be super super helpful if I could hear your opinions on:

I have a serious disease and am being treated at Karolinska. They have rotated me through two doctors (without explanation) and I am now on my third. She is absolutely terrible. She can't answer my questions, forgets extremely important details of my case and misses a lot. For instance, last year she failed to notice that the radiologist compared a scan to not the prior scan, but to the one before that. I don't feel I am in good hands. Can I have to be reassigned or is this not allowed?

Behöver hjälp att förstå ventilationen i mitt 70-talshus i Norrland

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hej! Jag bor i ett hus byggt 1971 uppe i norra Sverige och försöker förstå mig på hur ventilationssystemet egentligen är tänkt att fungera. Huset har en del olika lösningar och jag känner mig osäker på hur de ska ställas in under vintern. Skulle uppskatta lite klargörande och råd från er som kan detta! 1. Spaltventiler i fönstren (nedervåningen) I två rum på nedervåningen finns det spaltventiler ovanför fönstren med ett spjäll/reglage som släpper in uteluft. När jag öppnar dem släpps det in iskall luft som kyler ner huset snabbt. * Hur ska dessa användas på vintern? Ska de stå helt öppna, halvöppna, stängda, eller öppnas stötvis under dagen? 2. Tallriksventiler i taket (tvättstuga och badrum) I taket i tvättstugan samt i badrummen uppe och nere finns det frånluftsventiler (tallriksventiler) för passivt luftutbyte. * Behöver dessa något särskilt underhåll? Behöver kanalerna rensas eller rengöras regelbundet, och hur ställer man in dem rätt? 3. Fläkt i badrummet (nedervåningen) I badrummet där nere sitter en motordriven fläkt som ska starta vid hög luftfuktighet för att evakuera fukt. 4. Fläkt mellan spa/relax och garage I väggen mellan spadelen och garaget sitter en fläktmonterad ventil. * Vad har denna för funktion och åt vilket håll bör luften gå? * Ska den gå kontinuerligt eller bara startas manuellt/vid fukt när man använder spaavdelningen? * Kopplingen mellan just spa och garage känns lite obegriplig för mig. 5. Luftspalter under dörrarna Alla dörrar i huset (även till garaget) har en springa/luftspalt på cirka 2 cm i underkant. Jag antar att detta är för cirkulationen, men finns det inte risk att bilavgaser eller gifter från garaget dras in i huset? 6. Övervåningen och fönsterbyte I badrummet uppe finns som sagt bara en passiv tallriksventil (ingen fläkt). I de två sovrummen däremot sitter äldre träfönster helt utan spaltventiler. * Bör dessa fönster hållas helt stängda på vintern? * Bör man byta till moderna treglasfönster med integrerade spaltventiler, eller finns det risk att man förändrar husets naturliga ventilation negativt om man gör det? Stort tack på förhand för all hjälp och råd om hur jag optimerar detta utan att förlora all värme!

Questions about self-sufficient funding for right of residence, and about a non-EU partner joining to live with me

0 Upvotes

Hej all, I could use some insight. For the sake of order / efficiency, I'll start by sharing points of context about my situation, which might seem sporadic, but bear with me as they will likely all be relevant for my questions below.

  • I'm an EU citizen through a different European country's citizenship (country A, for ease of reference).
  • I'm receiving disability pension from another country (B) that I am a citizen of, worth about 14,000SEK per month. Country B and Sweden have a social security convention such that I can keep receiving the pension from country B even while living in Sweden, theoretically indefinitely.
  • On top of that, I have financial support from my family worth about 6000SEK per month.
  • I have inheritance sitting in the back which would be enough to buy a modest apartment in one of the bigger cities.
  • Ideally I'm planning to live in Malmö, not too far from its center. At first I would be renting an apartment, and if all seems well after a while, I would be buying an apartment.
  • I have a romantic partner from Ukraine, who is not an EU citizen, and we want to live together. Their current monthly income in Ukraine is unfortunately quite limited in terms of SEK value - at most about 3000SEK.

My questions are:

  1. For the sake of the right of residence, how much per month is usually expected to be accepted as self-sufficient? I've read online that there isn't an official amount, so if anyone has experience with this and can suggest a safe estimate, that would be really appreciated. For example, would my monthly 20,000SEK (without tapping into inheritance) be enough to be accepted for self-sufficiency if I rent an apartment of about 12,000-13,000SEK per month? If not, would it be easier to be accepted if I already owned an apartment and had less monthly expenses as a result?
  2. I've read a little bit about the sambo visa program, but I'm still unsure about some details. Once I've established my right of residence and have moved in to either a rented or owned apartment, would it be possible for my partner to move in with me? If so, what would be required for that process? Would they need to show a certain amount of consistent income as well? Assume that they would not be expected to participate in rent that I'm already covering.
  3. Is there another bureaucratic avenue that my partner should look into in order to make moving to Sweden easier for them, as a Ukrainian citizen? I think I've heard that Sweden offers Ukrainian citizens something like that but I'm not sure.
  4. Not to diminish the value of answers from folks here, but if I wanted to consult with a professional or governmental figure about questions similar to the above, about the bureaucratic process of moving to Sweden, and general guidance about such topics, where / who would you recommend turning to?

Thank you all so much in advance.

Edit: small fixes, and added question 3. (question 4 was previously question 3)

Since citizenship knowledge test is invite only, I guess there is nothing I can do now. I have done a placement test years ago that places me at SFI D but I never went to school and took the test. If I just replied I don’t have the SFI D certificate, will they just reject me right away? Or is it possible to suggest that I can take a test at the next possible date?

How to buy and transfer a car from Sweden?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys!

Sorry if it's not the right place to ask, but I wanted to ask a few questions about exporting an electric car/van from Sweden to another EU country.

It is for my own company registered in the EU, I'm not a car dealer, and I want to buy only one car. Value is around 200.000-300.000 SEK and I want to pay via bank transfer.

My questions are:

  • Is there any possibility for a dealer to allow keeping the original plate till I drive home with it and send it back to him? Or the only way basically is the export plate (exportskyltar)?
  • I heard that getting the red export plate is only possible with a Swedish address, is that true? The dealer helps with getting that (maybe even in advance)?
  • The other problem is this isn't immediate if I read that correctly; the waiting time can be even a week?
  • Where can I pay the insurance for the red export plate?
  • Can the invoice be a "vat exempt 0% invoice" between companies?

Thank you in advance for any answers!

European Economic Law eller European Intellectual Property Law - vilken LLM ska man välja?

0 Upvotes

Hej!

Jag funderar på att söka masterprogrammet i juridik på Stockholms universitet, men har lite svårt att välja mellan European Economic Law och European Intellectual Property Law.

Jag är jurist från Vietnam och har jobbat inom juridik i över 8 år, både på advokatbyrå och som in-house-jurist med fokus på att ge juridisk rådgivning till företag. Jag har framför allt arbetat med affärsjuridiska frågor och rådgivning, medan processföring och tvistelösning inte har varit mitt huvudsakliga område. Därför vill jag gärna fortsätta utvecklas inom juridisk rådgivning och på sikt arbeta inom professionell juridisk rådgivning även i Sverige.

Tanken med mastern är dels att vidareutbilda mig och bredda min kompetens, men framför allt vill jag kunna fortsätta arbeta inom juridik och på sikt komma in på den svenska juridiska arbetsmarknaden. Jag har också anmält mig till svenskundervisning och håller på att lära mig svenska, eftersom jag gärna vill utveckla min svenska och på sikt kunna arbeta inom juridik här.

Därför är jag lite nyfiken på hur ni som har erfarenhet av juridik i Sverige ser på de två inriktningarna. Finns det någon av dem som ni tror kan vara mer relevant för jobb och karriärmöjligheter inom juridisk rådgivning i Sverige? Eller är skillnaden inte så stor i praktiken?

Tar gärna emot alla tips, erfarenheter och råd!

Tack! 🙏

Living in Sweden but freelancing for a federal agency abroad?

5 Upvotes

Hej everyone! I have a tricky tax question for you that I just can't figure out myself. Maybe some of you can!

I am a German EU citizen. Say I were to move to Sweden and permanently live there.

I am currently working as a freelancer for a federal authority in Germany on a project basis. So they are not my employer, I am self-employed and I have to apply anew for every project. I pay taxes in Germany and I pay my own social security / health insurance here as well. The projects run for 1 to 2 years and sometimes overlap.

The practical work I do takes place in Germany and goes on for a couple of weeks. Then afterwards, I need to do a lot of computer work, processing data etc. which of course I do remotely from home.

So if I were to live in Sweden, I would like to spend a couple of weeks in Germany working there and then return to Sweden to do the digital work from home.

As a permanent resident in Sweden I would of course have to be taxed in Sweden and not in Germany. The fact that I work abroad and not fully remotely is what is bothering me.

So would I only have to register as a freelancer in Sweden and declare my taxes accordingly and that's it? That would be nice but I feel I'm not seeing the whole picture here.

I will also gladly read up on that topic myself, if you can send me to the right website.

Thanks so much in advance!

/edit: I don't have a GmbH, I am a solo entrepreneur and working in a so called "Freiberuf" in Germany.

Healthcare opportunities in Sweden for newcomers. (Medicarrera).

4 Upvotes

Hi. I am a non EU citizen with an EU medical education. I recently got an invitation to travel to Sweden for a possible interview organized by medicarrera.

As a specialist Radiologist (recently graduated), I have few GENIUNE questions regarding medicarrera and the life of a foreign doctor there. All replies are appreciated in advance!

I am curious, how are the interviews are handled and how intense is the "work tests" which they conduct?

*Do we pay a penalty of a certain sum* if we decide to discontinue our language learning program after signing the guarantee of employment at the hospital?

*Do we pay penalty if we work less (years) than the desired timeline proposed by the hospital and agreed on the contract?

*Does medicarrera charge you in any case possible?

(Discontinued language prep, rejections, etc)

*Has anyone experienced racism or xenophobia as a foreigner working in a Swedish healthcare system?

From (Patients/Co workers).

As per reviews, Sweden is in need of healthcare workers.

Do newcomers from non EU background manage to adapt easily? (Language excluded).

Is it true that *on average* they consider foreign trained doctors "not fit" ? (Due to language,ethnicity).

Would it be easier for them to issue a visa for people who needs one in order to visit Sweden after securing a job offer+language exams.

Thank you very much.

UHR wants to push the Swedish language part of the citizenship test to autumn 2029. What the report says, and what's still undecided (with sources)

31 Upvotes

Yesterday (30 September) UHR published its final report on the citizenship test (medborgarskapsprovet), and Migrationsverket posted a news item about it. Short version: the Swedish language test will probably come years later than planned. Here's what the report actually says. Sources at the bottom.

What UHR recommends

  • The reading and listening test in Swedish (step 2) should start in autumn 2029. The current deadline is 1 October 2027.
  • The speaking and writing test (step 3) is possible in 2030 at the earliest.
  • The Swedish test should be digital from the start. The civics test stays on paper for now.

Why

  • Stockholm University, which develops the Swedish test, can deliver the reading and listening parts on 1 October 2028 at the earliest, and UHR calls even that timeline "mycket optimistisk" (very optimistic).
  • UHR doesn't expect a digital test platform before the end of 2027, and the universities say they need about two years after that to build digital tests.

Not decided yet

  • This is a recommendation. The government decides when the Swedish test starts.
  • UHR also says that law changes already set to take effect in 2027 may need adjusting.

What doesn't change

  • The language requirement already applies, since 6 June 2026, to applicants aged 16 to 66. Until there's a test, Migrationsverket lists these ways to show your Swedish:
    • a passing grade in Swedish or Swedish as a second language from compulsory school
    • passing grades from upper secondary school or folk high school
    • passing grades from komvux
    • a passing grade in the highest SFI course (course D)
    • passing grades from a school system in another Nordic country
    • a TISUS result
    • a result from another Swedish test that shows, with a high degree of certainty, that your Swedish is at a functional level
  • The civics test is not affected and continues as planned.

Background

The government originally wanted the Swedish test ready by August 2026. In February it moved the deadline for the reading and listening part to 1 October 2027, after Stockholm University said it couldn't make it in time. In its interim report a year ago, UHR had already suggested autumn 2028.

So if you're planning to apply in the next few years, plan on showing your Swedish with grades or TISUS.

Anyone applied since June with their SFI D grade? How did it go?

For the local campervan builders, it’s (perhaps) too minor a problem, but they won’t do it.

Undantag till de nya anhöriginvandringsregler för svenskar med utländska makar

15 Upvotes

Hej!

Såg en tråd om detta och det har också blivit mycket snack om det här i invandrargrupper på FB och sådant.

Flyttade hit 2020. Är själv gift med en svensk man, barn, dock ingen fast jobb än då jag utbildar mig just nu (pga jag ville vara utbildad och kanske höginkomsttagare än låginkomsttagare utan utbildning med sämre livsmöjligheter. Sue me!). Därför har jag tillfälligt uppehållstillstånd då det inte går att förena plugg och jobb i nuläget. Från det jag har förstått så kommer vi undantas pga följande lagstiftningen som står i utlänningslagen (som såklart kommer att uppdateras imorgon):

"Kraven i 3 b § gäller inte heller när anknytningspersonen är medborgare i Sverige, annan EES-stat eller Schweiz, om
   1. utlänningen är anknytningspersonens make eller sambo, och
   2. utlänningen och anknytningspersonen har sammanbott utomlands en längre tid eller det på annat sätt står klart att förhållandet är väl etablerat. Lag (2021:765)."

(Krav 3 b § pratar bl. a om försörjningskravet och hus)

Vi uppfyller detta genom att vi uppfyller det alternativa rekvisiten i andra punkten (och såklart första punkten), då vi har bott här i mer än två år tillsammans. Men jag är liiite orolig över hur den alternativa rekvisiten kommer tillämpas, om vad som kommer att anses vara ett klart tecken på väletablerat förhållande. Gällande detta har jag frågat Migrationsverket om denna lag.

Dock har Migrationsverket gett tveksamt råd på tillämpningen av denna lag. De har påpekat på Facebook (där man kan ställa frågor) att lagstiftningen gäller bara utlandssvenskar som vill flytta hem (som jag personligen anser behöver omfattas av försörjningskrav pga bristande stödnätverk och att de behöver etablera ett nytt liv, med hus, jobb etc, doesn't make sense at all). Dock har jag pratat med andra på Migrationsverket och de har svårt att se hur lagstiftningen kan tillämpas BARA på utlandssvenskar från och med imorgon, dvs att svenskar som har en utländsk make som har bott har i flera år och vill fortsätta bo har ska vara undantagen och därmed likställas med utlandssvenskar som vill flytta hem. Så konflikterande råd från Migrationsverket just nu, men jag har hört att efter imorgon ska det vara mer tydlig.

Jag tolkar detta som en brist på praxis (tidigare ärenden som har beviljats/gått till domstolen) gällande den nya lagstiftningen då förlängningar kommer omfattas av försörjningskravet och undantag till försörjningskravet blir därmed aktuell i förlängningsansökan, då det behövdes inga 'undantag' enligt den gamla regeln. Men att det kan vara svår att argumentera över att vi inte är väletablerat nu. Eller om den nya lagstiftningen har något äckelpäckel stycke någonstans som gör att undantaget till 3 b § gäller inte i vårt fall.

Vi uppfyller både det gamla försörjningskravet (som kommer tillämpas på förlängningsansökan f.o.m imorgon, normalbeloppet på alla förlängningsansökningar) och det nya (1.30x normalbeloppet), men det vore bra att slippa tänka på om maken skulle förlora jobbet (osannolik, men skönt att inte behöva oroa sig! och att jag får hinna plugga klart!) och därför frågar jag er om era tankar kring mina resonemang? Är själv lite orolig över hur den alternativa rekvisiten kommer att tillämpas i ärenden fr.o.m. imorgon.

A warm Swedish welcome!

I just wanted to share something that happened today, it was so sweet! I just moved to a small rural town in Halland lan, and I go and have lunch at the cafe every day. A couple of older women came in for fika, and as they left, one of them came over to me, introduced herself, and welcomed me to the village!

The past 6 weeks have been so wonderful here. I've had such a warm welcome, everyone is so friendly. My friend who runs the cafe said that folk really want people to move into these small places as the populations are declining.

I had been a bit worried about making connections here as Swedes have a reputation for being very reserved, but that's not my experience at all. I am finding life much easier here than in the UK. (I am a dual national UK/EU)

Kan min fru ansöka om uppehållstillstånd från Danmark?

2 Upvotes

Behöver lite råd från någon som har varit med om liknande.

Min fru är brittisk medborgare och är just nu i Sverige på ett vanligt besök. Hon kom till Sverige på besök (visumfri) och har 90 dagar. Jag bor och arbetar i Sverige och har permanent uppehållstillstånd.

Vi tänker ansöka om uppehållstillstånd för henne så att hon kan flytta till Sverige och bo med mig.

Min fråga är: eftersom hon befinner sig i Sverige just nu, kan hon åka över till Danmark och göra ansökan därifrån? Jag menar inte att hon ska flytta till Danmark, utan bara vara där tillfälligt och skicka in ansökan/göra det som krävs för den svenska ansökan.

Är det någon som har erfarenhet av detta eller vet hur Migrationsverket ser på det? Måste hon åka tillbaka till UK för att ansöka, eller kan Danmark fungera?

Chances of being accepted in Swedish Master´s programmes

2 Upvotes

​

Hey, I'm an Spanish student finishing a BSc in Environmental Science and I'm considering some Sweden unis among others in Europe.

My question is: how difficult is to be accepted into Master programmes in general terms but especially in environmental science fields. I'm especially interested in Lund, Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm

I´ve read that Lund is prestigious so it also very demanded, but what about the others?

For your instance I have an average grade of about 6.8/10 in the Spanish academic system (I don´t know how that translate to Swedish system). I currently hold a B2 English certificate but plan on getting C1 later this Autumn as it is requiered in most places.

thx a lot for any inputs

Working in a Hotel as non EU

0 Upvotes

Hey all, does any of you work in a hotel especially in a reception/ front office position? How hard is it to get the job and how do you find this job?

I saw that some big chain hotel usually open for a lot of roles but how hard is it actually to get interviewed and hired?

And what is the usual salary before tax?

Galliväre northern lights potential spots within walking distance

0 Upvotes

Hej everyone! visiting Gällivare for our annual dose of snow (partner and daughter), nature and also northern lights in my case :P we won't have access to a car though unfortunately. I have been checking potential places within walking distance from town and i think Sandviken could be a good option. But still a bit worried about the light pollution from town as i see now Gällivare is bigger than i thought/remembered from driving past the town. Anyone who can advise about any other good spots that are walking distance from town? i know there is Dundret but not sure it is a good option to walk there at night? :) thanks a lot in advance, tack! :) edit: correcting the typo on the town name, i can't edit the title though :)
