How does an employer submit an application on behalf of a skilled worker?
For applications for a residence permit for skilled workers, an employer may apply on the worker's behalf. The employer must have received written authorisation from the employee.
When submitting the application, the employer may submit the relevant documents electronically.
The following procedure is for employers, clients and persons granted power of attorney to represent an employer, applying on behalf of an employee:
- Fill in and submit the application online.
- After you have submitted the application, send an email to the Service centre for foreign workers (SUA) (external website) or to your local police district.
- The police will send you an email via the address you provided in the application form. The email contains a DUF number and also serves to confirm that the application has been received. You need to wait until you receive the email before you upload the required documentation.
