Arrived in Sweden from Ukraine: what should you do next in 2026?
Do not start with Skatteverket. First establish whether you have applied for Temporary Protection Directive protection and what your current status is.
Short answer
A first application follows Migrationsverket's current process. For in-person visits, use only offices explicitly accepting first-time TPD applications.
What to do step by step
- 1
Check eligibility and prepare your Migrationsverket application documents.
- 2
If the new military-obligation condition applies to your profile, prepare the relevant evidence.
- 3
Apply online or follow the current instructions for an in-person first application.
- 4
After the decision, continue with housing, school, healthcare and work.
- 5
Skatteverket and population registration are separate later steps with their own conditions.
