How to apply if you live in Philippines

Sweden Consulate In Manila
Most people applying for a work permit should apply online, as it is the quickest and easiest way. If for instance you want to pick berries, however, you have to use a paper form. Regardless of how you apply, your work permit must have been granted before you leave for Sweden.

If you cannot or do not wish to apply online, you can present an application for a work permit on a paper form to the Swedish Consulate-General in Manila, Mondays to Fridays 09.00 – 12.00. It is not necessary to make an appointment.

To find out which rules apply, which documents are required and how you go about applying for a permit, read the other embassy website pages.

Residence permit card
If you are granted a permit for more than three months, you will receive a residence permit card. If you need a visa to enter Sweden, which is the case for instance for citizens of the Philippines, you must arrange for the card before your departure. This means you visit the embassy in Bangkok to provide your biometric data. You make an appointment to provide this information by telephoning the Consulate-General in Manila.

It can take up to four weeks for the residence permit card to be prepared and delivered to the embassy. Once the card has arrived there, the embassy will send it to the Consulate-General in Manila, where you can collect it. Cards can be collected from the Consulate-General on Mondays to Fridays, 09.00 – 12.00.

If you apply at the Consulate-General, you have to pay the fee there. In addition, there is a dispatch charge of PHP 300. The fee, including the dispatch charge, is payable to:
