In an opinion piece, Sweden’s Migration Minister Johan Forssell outlined nine strategies to enhance the immigration process and retain foreign talent, collaborating with leading business representatives. Forssell emphasizes the necessity for Sweden to broaden its approach and focus on high-skilled labor rather than just asylum seekers. Proposed changes include a fast-track system for work permits which has dramatically cut processing times, and legislation to simplify job changes for permit holders. Together, these initiatives aim to position Sweden as a key destination for international experts essential for the nation’s innovation and economic growth.
The council aims to shift the focus from low-skilled to high-skilled immigration, emphasizing its importance in strengthening Sweden's competitiveness in the global arena.
During this period, the fast-track for work permits has reduced processing times significantly, demonstrating a proactive approach to attract international talent in Sweden.
