Permanent Residence Permit sticker valid until passport expires
The Swedish Migration Board now simplifies the renewal procedure for holders of Permanent Residence Permits (PUT) in Sweden.
The residence permit sticker in the passport no longer has to be renewed every third year. Instead the permanent residence permit is renewed when the passport holder renews his or her passport. Consequently the Migration Board will no longer send out reminders to renew the permit.
The new procedure will be fully implemented April 15, 2004, but the Migration Board will cease to issue reminder letters to renew PUT-stickers from January 1, next year. From then onwards, the holder of a permanent residence permit will be responsible for remembering when to replace his or her permit. The permit will still be issued at the local Migration Board Office closest to where you live.
In order to travel across the Swedish border and within the Schengen area, a foreign citizen must be able to show that he or she holds a valid residence permit in Sweden. There are also other reasons for always keeping a valid residence permit inserted in your passport.
The new residence permit sticker will include space for the inclusion of biometric data such as a photograph or fingerprints in order to meet new EU security requirements.
