Changes for those residing in Bosnia and Herzegovina who wish to apply for residence and work permit

Applications for residence and work permit

Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina have until now applied for residence and work permits at the Embassy of Sweden in Sarajevo. As from March 10, 2025, the Embassy in Sarajevo will no longer handle migration related matters.

This means that when you will apply for residence and work permit after March 10, 2025, you should contact the Embassy of Sweden in Skopje, North Macedonia, for interview, passport check, biometrics etcetera.

The same applies for those who are not citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina but legally reside there.

To book an appointment for interview, passport check or to leave your biometrics you should contact the Embassy of Sweden in Skopje. Contact information can be found via the link below.

Contact information to Swedish Missions abroad

If you already have applied for residence and work permit and have a booked interview at the Embassy in Sarajevo or if you are waiting for a residence permit card, you will still be able to do the interview or collect the residence permit card at the Embassy in Sarajevo.
