Upon successful completion of an MS in Sweden, international graduates can apply for a post-study work permit known as the "Job Seeker Visa" or residence permit to seek employment in Sweden. This permit typically lasts up to 6 to 12 months, providing graduates time to find relevant full-time employment or start a business. Graduates need to apply before their student residence permit expires so they can legally stay and work in Sweden. The job seeker permit helps in the transition from student life to professional employment, allowing graduates to leverage their Swedish education and local networks. Applicants must show proof of completed higher education in Sweden and have the financial means to support themselves during the job search period. The strong industry-university ties in Sweden benefit graduates by providing internships, networking, and employment opportunities, especially in engineering, IT, and innovation sectors. This post-study work pathway is a significant attraction for international students planning long-term professional careers in Sweden or Europe, enhancing the value of pursuing an MS degree there.

International students need to obtain a student residence permit mandatory for studies more than 3 months. This permit allows students to legally stay in Sweden for full duration of their program. To apply, students must have a formal offer letter from a recognised Swedish university confirming admission to full time MS program. Other essential requirements are - valid passport 
proof of funds 
evidence of tuition fee payment 
health insurance coverage if the program is of 1 year 
Language proficiency documentation required by universities usually in English (like IELTS or TOEFL) even though the Migration Agency itself does not impose a specific language exam for the visa. 
Applications are submitted online to the Swedish Migration Agency, with associated fees. The permit is initially granted for the programme duration plus some months after to allow for graduation formalities or job search.
