Can I work in Sweden while studying on a higher education residence permit?

Sweden does not place a fixed limit on how many hours a student may work, unlike many other countries. The key condition is that you continue to study full time and make satisfactory progress, because your permit is tied to your studies, not to a job.

If you work so much that you fall behind and lose your full-time status, you risk problems when you apply to extend your permit. Treat employment as supplementary income rather than your primary purpose for being in Sweden.
