The extension application can be submitted to the Migration Agency up to 4 months before the current permit expires.
The Fastest Route to a Swedish Work Permit Through Us
The Migration Agency has recently discontinued the fast-track option. The best approach now is to submit comprehensive, accurate applications. This allows the Migration Agency to expedite the decision-making process.
As a work permit specialist I have over 6 years of experience helping foreign workers secure permission to work in Sweden. I stress the importance of meticulousness in the application process, as it significantly accelerates decision-making. I have observed that any queries or concerns from the Migration Agency can lead to delays of several months in processing time.

A will, also known as a last will and testament, is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets and the care of any minor children after your death. Here’s why having a will is important:
- Control Over Distribution: A will allows you to specify how you want your assets, such as property, money, and personal belongings, to be distributed among your beneficiaries after your death. Without a will, the distribution of your assets will be determined by the laws of intestacy, which may not align with your wishes.
- Guardianship for Minor Children: If you have minor children, a will enables you to designate a guardian who will be responsible for their care in the event of your death. This ensures that your children are cared for by someone you trust and who shares your values.
- Minimise Family Disputes: Having a clear and legally binding will can help prevent disputes among family members regarding the distribution of your estate. By outlining your wishes in writing, you reduce the likelihood of disagreements and potential conflicts among your heirs.
- Estate Tax Planning: A well-crafted will can also help minimize estate taxes and other expenses associated with the transfer of assets to your beneficiaries. Through strategic estate planning, you can potentially reduce the tax burden on your estate, leaving more assets to your chosen beneficiaries.
- Peace of Mind: Having a will provides peace of mind knowing that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes and that your loved ones will be taken care of after your passing. It also simplifies the probate process for your executor, making the administration of your estate smoother and more efficient.
In summary, having a will allows you to maintain control over the distribution of your assets, ensure the well-being of your loved ones, minimise potential conflicts, and provide peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be carried out after your death.
When a person dies without having a will?
When a person dies without having a will, it is known as dying intestate. In such cases, the distribution of the deceased person’s assets and the handling of their estate are governed by the laws of intestacy, which vary depending on the jurisdiction. Here are some common outcomes when a person dies without a will:
- Distribution of Assets: The deceased person’s assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy, which typically prioritise spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives in a predetermined order. The specific distribution scheme varies by jurisdiction.
- Appointment of an Administrator: Instead of an executor named in a will, the court will appoint an administrator to oversee the estate’s administration. The administrator is usually a close family member or, if no suitable person is available, a professional administrator.
- Guardianship for Minor Children: If the deceased person had minor children, the court will appoint a guardian to care for them. The guardian is typically a close relative, but the court will make the final decision based on the best interests of the children.
- Probate Process: The estate will go through the probate process, during which the court will validate the deceased person’s death, appoint an administrator, identify and inventory assets, pay debts and taxes, and distribute the remaining assets to the heirs according to the laws of intestacy.
- Costs and Delays: The probate process without a will can be more complex, time-consuming, and costly compared to probating an estate with a valid will. Without clear instructions from a will, disputes among family members over asset distribution are more likely, leading to delays and increased legal expenses.
- Unintended Consequences: Dying intestate may result in assets being distributed in a manner that does not align with the deceased person’s wishes or family circumstances. Certain individuals who would have been provided for in a will, such as unmarried partners or close friends, may receive nothing under intestacy laws.
In summary, dying without a will can lead to a more complicated and less predictable distribution of assets, potentially causing delays, disputes, and unintended consequences for the deceased person’s heirs and loved ones. It highlights the importance of having a properly executed will to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death.
