Minimum Wage Requirements 2026
Sweden will raise the minimum salary threshold for labor immigration to 90% of the national median wage, equivalent to SEK 33,390 per month, under a new agreement between the Government and the Sweden Democrats.
The reform also includes plans to introduce stricter requirements for family-member immigration and to launch an inquiry into abuses within the labor migration system.
