Have you employed a person from abroad and trying to find out what the next step is? We are here to assist you in that process. Moving to a new country can be a challenging but rewarding experience. There are many things to consider, both before and after the move to the new ”home away from home”. We have many years of experience from assisting companies and their employees, and looking forward to hear from you!
Our services:
Pre-visit
We are preparing for a first visit to the new hometown based on the needs of the new employee and family. During the visit we inform about what it is like to live in Sweden, shows the city and surrounding areas, different housing options, leisure activities and coordinate a meeting regarding school placement. We try to answer all possible questions to be prepared for the move and perhaps one of the biggest changes in life.
Immigration
One of the most important things is to apply for a Swedish work- and residence permit. The Chamber of Commerce Mälardalen has a certification at the Swedish Migration Board, that makes the handling process much quicker than usual. The time frame from application until the person can travel to Sweden, is only about 1,5 months.
Home search
We are doing the home search based on the needs and always trying to find the best solution due to the current market. We have the knowledge about the Swedish housing market, coordinate inspections, negotiate and sign contracts with the landlord. We will also keep a tight dialogue with the employee during this period to support the choice of living.
Settling in
During the first time in the new home country, it is much to consider and organize. We assist with registration and the important Swedish personal id number, apply for Swedish social insurance, open a bank account, arrange different subscriptions like internet, home insurance etc. All in order to facilitate as much as possible for the incoming person.
Ongoing support
When moving to a new country, it´s naturally that a lot of questions are coming up after the first settling in period. You can contact the Relocation team by phone, e-mail or visit us during office hours. The needs differs from person to person, but the most common is a period of 3-6 months.
Departure
When it is time for leaving Sweden, you might be leaving for another country or going back home again? We will set up a meeting and plan for actions that needs to be taken and support during that process. This is also a good time to here about the experience from the stay in Sweden. The purpose is that the departure process will be as smooth as the settling in.
