The Swedish Migration Agency is a government authority in Sweden that processes applications for permanent residence, visits, asylum or protection, and Swedish citizenship. It is commissioned by Parliament and government to implement the country’s asylum and migration policy, effectively serving the Swedish public through migration-related decisions. The agency employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates within the government administration sector; its website is migrationsverket.se. In its recent history, it introduced a new processing system at the start of 2024 to shorten waiting times for highly qualified workers, launched a new version of its website in March 2025, and piloted digital passport checks in May 2024. The organization is based in Sweden and serves as the central authority for migration-related matters under Swedish policy.
