Frequently asked questions about problems in our e-services
This may be due to a temporary disruption or that the Swedish Migration Agency's mobile operator is unable to deliver the text message for some reason.
This may be, for example, because the mobile operator responsible for the mobile number abroad does not deliver text messages from our sender MIGR. When you receive the text message it will not come from a number but will be a sender with letters, which some mobile operators may categorise as spam.
Examples of countries that we cannot send text messages to are Turkey and the Philippines.
To check why you are not receiving the SMS code, you first need to contact the operator responsible for the mobile number the code is to be sent to, to find out if they allow text messages from the sender MIGR.
If the mobile operator does not have any restrictions, you need to contact the Swedish Migration Agency's technical support for e-services in order to troubleshoot the problem. You can reach us at ‑ between and Monday to Friday. Select one (1) to reach the contact center and then select seven (7) to get to web support.

By acting as a legal representative for the labor migrant and his employer, we will submit an application the Migration Board and expect a decision within ten working days if it is the first time the foreigner applies, and within 20 working days if it is an application to extend a current work permit.
Family members of the foreigner will also be included in the certification if they apply at the same time. The certification also includes the application of a former student who had a residence permit in Sweden and is now applying for a work permit.
