Checklist for administration of international staff
Here you can find a summary of the checklist for administration of international staff at hosting departments. Contact your Human Resources officer for support.
Residence permits and visa
Se Residence permits and visas
Swedish personal number
The employee/student should visit the Tax Agency in person as soon as possible if the stay in Sweden is planned to be longer than a year to get a Swedish personal identity, see Moving to Sweden
EU citizens
EU citizens who want to stay in Sweden for more than three months in order to, for example, work or study, do not need to contact the Swedish Migration Agency. Instead the registration of right of residence is done at the Tax Agency if planning to live in Sweden for one year or more,
Housing
Contact KI Housing for accommodation and se tips for other alternatives.
Banking
Banks normally ask for Swedish personal number or co-ordination number in order to open a bank account, se Moving to Sweden.
Tax
If the person with taxable income stays less than six months, the hosting department applies for SINK tax and the visitor will have a coordination number.
Senior researchers (min second postdoc period) can apply for Tax relief for foreign key personnel. The application must be sent to the Taxation of Research Workers Board (Forskarskattenämnden) within three months after the start of employment. Individuals qualifying for tax relief may not be Swedish citizens. An individual who has been a resident in Sweden during any of the five years prior to the start of the assignment in Sweden cannot qualify for tax relief status. See more information about tax relief.
Relocation services
KI has procured relocation services with Alfa Mobility, which can assist with, among other things, applications to the Migration Agency, housing searches, and move coordination. You can order the entire package or parts of the package; the contract catalog contains a description of the procured packages - search for relocationtjänster to reach the contract and price list in Swedish. It is up to each department to decide what they want to offer. If you want to order a package or parts of a package, contact academic-appointments@ki.se
