How To Speed Up Things?

Appointment for Swedish ID card

Getting a Swedish ID card is of vital importance to unlocking a smooth life in this country. But sometimes it can take weeks or even months to get an appointment. What you can do is check with Skatterverket every morning to see if anyone has canceled their appointments. Cancellations are routine and happen quite often. You can jump the queue and get it done in days.

Green channel work permit application

When you are coming into the country with a work permit, you may be working for an established company or a startup. While some established companies are classified as “certified operators”, others may not. And that creates a significant difference in the approval of a work permit. While an employee of a certified operator can get a work permit within weeks as their applications are fast-tracked, for non-certified companies it may take several months. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and staff shortage at the Migration Agency have increased the time more. You can ask your employer to become certified to cut the time. Send your employer this link.

Request to Conclude

While you are putting in an application for a Work Permit renewal or for a Permanent Residence, sometimes it can take a better part of the year for a case officer to be assigned. If you are waiting for more than six months, you can fill up and send form 271011 to the Migration Agency. After receiving your application they can either approve your case within four weeks or reject your case. Remember you can only use this option once while your application is under process.

Urgent medical care

Medical care in Sweden is free for all. And due to that reason, sometimes there could be delays in getting an appointment to see a doctor, or if the 112 attendant deems that your sickness is not serious enough to need immediate attention. You may disagree, but you won’t have an option other than to wait. But there is an option – private medical care. Check with your company if they provide private health insurance along with doctor assistance. You can get an appointment fast at a hospital like this one: Sophiahemmet. A second option always helps!

Furniture Delivery

When you are trying to set up your house, it comes with the requirement of buying new furniture. And you will get plenty of options from the big stores like Ikea and Mio. But the shock comes when you buy from an offline store – the delivery dates could be months away. One way to counter that is to check the availability of products online and limit your choices that are readily available. If they are available in some stores, it’s much faster to go and pick them up from that particular store yourself. It will certainly save a lot of time.
