Yes, if you are a non-EU citizen, you can apply for permanent residency after living and working in Sweden for four years with a work permit. To qualify, you need to: 

  • Have valid permits during that time 
  • Be financially stable and not rely on social welfare 
  • Plan to keep living in Sweden 

Note: With permanent residency, you can stay and work in Sweden without needing to renew your permits, which could even lead to citizenship.
