The situation
Sweden has implemented the EU Intracompany Transferee (ICT) Directive.
A closer look
Impact for employers
Employers should benefit from the increased EU mobility options under the ICT permit. Processing times are lengthy in comparison to other permit types, but this may decrease as the permit is used in practice.
Impact for foreign nationals
Foreign nationals should benefit from increased EU mobility, even beyond the allowable duration of stay under normal Schengen rules.
Fragomen will conduct a case-by-case assessment to determine whether an employee is eligible for the manager and specialist categories.
Looking ahead
The application process and processing times are expected to develop as the permit is used in practice.
Fragomen can support clients to plan an immigration strategy across Europe.
