Hej,
I am an Indian master's student in KTH, Stockholm, working on my thesis. I am currently on a student visa and my visa is till June 15. I have also received a job offer (from the same company where I'm doing my thesis) and have signed the employment contract and the company will start a work permit application soon. The preferred start date for the role is June 8 but it obviously depends on the work permit timeline.
I want to ask if I have a right to stay in Sweden beyond June 15, provided that my work permit application is submitted before that. My current status (repeating again for clarity): on student visa till June 15, currently in Stockholm. I understand that I cannot start working until the work permit is approved, but my question is limited to if I can continue staying here, or do I need to go back to India before June 15 in case the work permit isn't approved by then. For extending a student visa or applying for a work search visa, it is mentioned on the website that we can stay until a decision has been made, but I couldn't find any clear information for transitioning from a student to a work visa.
Tack!
