Frequently Asked Questions (vanliga frågor)

What are the Migrationsverket maintenance amounts (normalbelopp) for 2026?

For 2026, the monthly normalbelopp after housing expenses is: SEK 6,090 for a single adult, SEK 10,061 for cohabiting spouses/partners, SEK 3,255 for children up to 6 years, and SEK 3,747 for children aged 7–14.

Does gross or net salary count towards försörjningskrav?

Migrationsverket evaluates net salary after tax (nettolön). Your net income minus housing costs (hyra or mortgage interest + fee) must equal or exceed the required normalbelopp.

Can savings be used to satisfy the maintenance requirement?

Yes, liquid wealth and bank savings can be used if they are sufficient to support the family for the entire permit duration (typically 2 years).

What housing requirements apply for family reunification?

The home must be of adequate size: at least 1 room and a kitchen for 2 adults, plus additional bedrooms for children. First-hand rental contracts or owned homes (bostadsrätt/villa) are required.

Are Swedish citizens exempt from försörjningskrav?

Generally no. Swedish citizens sponsoring partners must meet the maintenance requirement unless qualifying for specific exemptions (such as long-term established relationships abroad).
