In the context of Swedish migration services, a non-EU intern is an individual who comes from a country outside of the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland to undertake a period of internship in Sweden. Non-EU interns must obtain the necessary permits and meet specific requirements to be allowed to enter and stay in Sweden legally.
In order to become an intern in Sweden, a Non-EU individual should submit an application for work and residence permit under the regulation of Internship in connection with higher education, with validity of up to 12 months.
The process of obtaining the necessary permits can be a complex and challenging undertaking. Bixter offers professional consultancy services to navigate this process with ease.

In Sweden, the working hours regulations for interns are generally the same as those for regular employees. This means that interns are protected by the Swedish Working Hours Act (Arbetstidslagen) which sets limits on the number of hours that employees can work per week.
According to the Working Hours Act, employees in Sweden can work a maximum of 40 hours per week, averaged over a four-week period. However, the Act also allows for certain exemptions and flexibilities for specific industries and job types.
For interns, the specific working hours and conditions will depend on the internship agreement between the intern and the employer.
Overtime can be acceptable in certain conditions, such as peak season. Excessive overtime may violate their work and residence permit requirements.
Extra overtime and general overtime shall be paid accordingly and may not exceed 48 hours per intern over a period of four weeks, or 50 hours over a calendar month.
Compliance with this rule ensures a positive internship experience and avoids legal issues.
At Bixter, we know that hosting an abroad intern gives an amazing chance for cultural exchange. Also, both parties must follow the regulations established by the local immigration services.
It should be noted that interns cannot start working until their work and residence permits have been linked to the operations of the host employer. To fulfill legal requirements and guarantee a smooth hiring procedure, compliance with this criteria is essential. Regarding the revised immigration laws, our specialists will provide in-depth information and keep you informed if any changes are made.
To ensure a successful hosting experience, Bixter will create a thorough hosting internship plan based on the information, tasks and responsibilities provided by host-employers. We carefully check the education of each of our applicants to ensure the perfect match between the internship place and the intern.
