right to work in Sweden as family member non-EU citizen

Indlæg af colombianboy » 29.09.2017 12:14:13

Hi I have been reading how is possible to work in Sweden and the only information I can find is:
Certain groups do not need to apply for work permits

The following groups do not need to apply for work permits to work in Sweden:

EU citizens and their families
citizens of Switzerland
persons with long-term resident status
citizens of Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland
persons who have permanent residence permits (PUT)
students who have residence permits for studies at higher education level
guest researchers who already have a special residence permit for research
asylum seekers who are exempt from the work permit requirement (AT-UND).
Certain occupational groups can also come to Sweden for a limited period of time and work without a work permit.

If you are uncertain as to whether a person is entitled to work with you, you are welcome to contact the Swedish Migration Agency.

Your responsibility as an employer

If you employ a person who is a citizen of a non-EU country, you have to check that that person is entitled to be in Sweden and to work for you. You also have to notify the Swedish Tax Agency if you have employed a person from a non-EU country.

The requirement to check the right to be and work in Sweden and to notify the Swedish Tax Agency does not apply when you employ persons who are citizens of a country in the EU or EEA or of Switzerland. Nor does it apply to their family members, irrespective of the nationality of the family member
How can I explain to my employer that I don't need the work permit?
Is it any law in Swedish to show and prove they're not hiring in illegal way?

The text on Migrationsverket explains it.
