sweden immigration, new law


sweden immigration, new law
what about the new immigration law proposed in sweden by the immigration minister tobias billstrom? It says, starting from mid december non EU citizens can be free to work in sweden provided they have an employment offer. I am already in Germany. My girlfriend is a swede who is returning back to sweden. I would like to join her. But need a job to live. Say if I go the following way. Being a resident of schengen state, I can freely travel to sweden. find a job in some shop or retail or restaurent. Ask the business owner to fill the form. Take the form with me to germany and apply for a residence permit. Will it work. I dont fit into skilled category. Does this new law apply to skilled candidates? or more open even towards not so skilled candidates.

Written offer of employment in Sweden, made out on a special form which your employer can obtain via the Swedish Public Employment Service's website: www.arbetsformedlingen.se. After approval from the Public Employment Service, your employer must send the form to you so that you can enclose it with your application. (Your employer must guarantee you pay, insurance coverage and other terms of employment equal to at least the collective agreement or Swedish practice in the profession or the branch of trade. Accommodation must have been arranged for you in Sweden. You must be fully prepared to leave Sweden when your term of employment is over.) http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____13398.aspx i have always thought you could work in Sweden provided you had an offer,from an employer who in turn had permission from the immigration . ps: but before hiring you, the employer would have to qualified by immigration laws, you could perhaps look on the internet? but the link i have found is is swede, http://www.monster.se/ http://www.monster.com/ then you could apply for a work visa trough the immigration at the embassy/consulate in Germany, http://www.swedenabroad.se/Start____16745.aspx you do not always have to fit within qualified skills, then of course the job offers are limited, but? on never knows, you may still find some good job. you have to apply for the work visa first and then you would get a residence permission,

I would give it a shot. They're proposing for this law to change December 15th and they say that it will be up to the employer to decide if they feel they cannot find people with the right skills to fill a position at their company. The idea of the proposition, however, is that if employers cannot find people with certain skills within the EU they can look outside. This will probably mean you are looking more at people with specialised skills or educations, but give it a go. Just keep a plan B in the back of your mind.
