Recent comments from Sweden's employment minister suggest a potential reconsideration of the work permit salary threshold, currently set at 80% of the median salary. Business organizations have argued that raising the threshold to the full median salary makes recruitment difficult and hampers competitiveness. Although a proposal to increase the threshold was previously announced, slow legislative progress has led many to question if the government will ultimately pursue this increase, especially given the backlash and lobbying efforts from the business community for a reduction in salary requirements.
Last week, the employment minister in Sweden hinted at a possible reconsideration of the controversial work permit salary threshold, providing optimism for current and future permit holders.
