Once you arrive in Sweden you must apply for asylum. You do so at any of the Swedish Migrations Agency’s units.
We explain Sweden

Work & financial support
Here you find information about your possibilities to work and do internships in Sweden.
Housing options
As an asylum seeker in Sweden you can either choose to live at a reception unit or arrange housing on your own.
Healthcare for asylum seekers
Your right to healthcare depends on your age: asylum seeking minors has usually more rights to healthcare in Sweden than adults.
