If your employment is extended and you have a work permit in Sweden, you need to apply for an extension of the permit before the current permit expires.

If your employment is extended and you have a valid work permit for Sweden, you must apply for an extension of your permit. The application process is similar to your initial application.

Important: If the extension involves a new position or employer, the employer is required to advertise the position in Sweden and the EU/EEA before you can start. You will need to submit a new application, and the employer must initiate the process.

Processing Time and Travel Restrictions: During the processing period of your application, there may be restrictions on your ability to leave Sweden. It is advisable to contact the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) for details specific to your case.
