Sweden
Spouse work: awaiting written confirmation
Verdict
Sweden is legally possible: your spouse can be in the same application, the Dhaka embassy handles the in-person steps, and processing takes about 3 months. But it is slow and needs a lot of money up front.
The earliest arrival is late August 2027, and about 28-33 lakh BDT must be in your own account before applying, with private sponsors refused and you capped at 15 h/week. Your spouse's right to work is normal practice but is not written as an automatic right on any official page, so it needs written confirmation from Migrationsverket.
Settlement is long: study years do not count, a permanent permit needs four years on work permits (about 5-6 years from arrival), and citizenship needs 8 years with Swedish. It is not a better bet than the Wollongong offer unless a scholarship or a documented education loan covers the funds requirement.

- Can the spouse come
- Yes
- Conditions
Migrationsverket states that the spouse, registered partner, cohabiting partner and children under 18 of a bachelor's or master's student "can do so at the same time as you". They can be included in your own e-service application. The family permit runs for the same period as yours (never longer than the passport).
If your spouse applies later it is a separate "family who apply afterwards" case (75% decided within 5 months), and you must have more than 3 months left on your permit. Conditions: a marriage certificate, and you must plan to live together.
Extra maintenance of SEK 4,440/month is needed for your spouse on top of your SEK 10,656/month (2026 amounts). Your spouse needs comprehensive health insurance if the stay is under one year and they are not in the population register (rule from 1 Oct 2026; not needed for a 2-year programme).
Since 11 June 2026 your spouse's permit can be revoked if yours is revoked or the tie ends. Family members who want to study at bachelor's or master's level themselves pay application and tuition fees from Autumn 2027 (Jönköping University summary).
- Spouse work rights
- Full
- Spouse work in detail
Likely full-time with no hour cap, but no official page states it as an automatic right.
What the official sources say: (1) the Migrationsverket page for family of students says the Agency will "determine whether you can be granted a work permit" and "If you are granted a residence and work permit, you have the right to live and work in Sweden" (conditional wording).
(2) Aliens Act 6 kap. 3 § says a work permit "may be granted" (får ges) to a holder of a temporary residence permit unless the purpose of the permit speaks against it. (3) Aliens Ordinance 4 a kap. 6 § gives students' family members a residence permit only.
So your spouse's work right depends on the work permit being written into the decision, which is the normal practice but discretionary. The 15 h/week cap (11 June 2026) is written for the student only. By contrast, the post-study job-seeker page says explicitly that adult family members "are permitted to work".
Action: ask Migrationsverket in writing before paying tuition, and check the decision letter says "uppehålls- och arbetstillstånd". The practical limit is the job market: English-only jobs are mostly cleaning, warehouse, delivery and restaurant work.
- Student work hours
Maximum 15 hours/week for bachelor's and master's students whose permit was granted on or after 11 June 2026. No limit in June, July and August. No limit for work that is part of the education (internship), or for student-representative, administration or research work at the institution.
No limit after completing at least two semesters of higher education, for the rest of the permit. Working more can lead to withdrawal of the permit or a refused extension.

- Tuition in detail
Not free for non-EU students. Stockholm University: SEK 90,000 per academic year for humanities, social sciences and law, SEK 140,000 for sciences, some programmes in between; paid in instalments before each semester. Application fee SEK 900 per semester applied for (universityadmissions.se).
Migrationsverket: tuition must be paid before applying for the permit, and you are finally admitted only once the fee is paid.
- Money to show in detail
You SEK 10,656/month + your spouse SEK 4,440/month = SEK 15,096/month. These are the amounts for applications made in 2026; the 2027 amount is not yet published, and you would apply in 2027.
The money must cover the whole permit period applied for: 12 months = SEK 181,152 (~USD 18,170 / ~BDT 22.7 lakh); 24 months = SEK 362,304 (~USD 36,330 / ~BDT 45.3 lakh).
Permits are one or two years depending on the institution (the two-year list includes Lund, Uppsala, Stockholm, KTH, Gothenburg, Chalmers, Linköping, Umeå, Jönköping, Dalarna, SSE and others). No blocked account.
The bank statement must be issued no more than 4 months before the permit start date, from an account in your own name from which only you and your accompanying partner can withdraw. It must show holder, bank, date, balance and currency.
Private individuals are not accepted as sponsors (only institutions, established companies and organisations); money from relatives must sit in your own account as personal bank assets. Not accepted: credit, funds, shares, microfinance-bank assets, assets locked during the permit period.
Accepted: scholarships (with certificate), a home-country student grant or loan (with certificate; if already paid into the account it counts as bank assets), Swedish employment (certificate + payslips; a job offer is not enough). Forms of funding can be combined.
Central-bank permission must be attached if it is needed to move the money abroad.
- Budget note
Rates (Bangladesh Bank sheet dated 12 Nov 2026): 1 USD = 124.75 BDT, 1 SEK = 12.51 BDT, so 1 USD = 9.97 SEK. Before the permit application you must have paid the first tuition instalment (about SEK 45,000-80,000) and hold show-money of SEK 181,152 for one year (SEK 362,304 if a two-year permit is applied for) in your own account.
That is at least SEK 226,000-261,000 = USD 22,700-26,200 = 28.3-32.7 lakh BDT. Cash that actually leaves your pocket up front is about USD 12,100: one semester's tuition ~SEK 64,500 = USD 6,470; permit fees SEK 3,000 = USD 301; application fee SEK 900 = USD 90; two flights ~USD 1,800 (estimate); two months' living ~SEK 34,000 = USD 3,410.
The first-year true cost for two is about USD 35,600 before earnings (tuition 12,900 + living 20,500 + fees and flights 2,200). Relatives can help only by moving money into your own account (private sponsors are refused); a documented home-country education loan is accepted.
You are capped at 15 h/week, so the plan leans on your spouse finding full-time work fast, and your spouse's work right is not automatic on paper.
- Realistic earnings
Sweden has no statutory minimum wage; pay follows collective agreements. Entry-level service work is roughly SEK 130-160/hour (estimate). You at 15 h/week: about 60-65 hours/month, roughly SEK 8,000-10,000 gross (USD 800-1,000), more in June-August when hours are unlimited.
Your spouse full-time in an entry job, if a work permit is in the decision and a job is found: roughly SEK 24,000-27,000 gross/month (USD 2,400-2,700), about SEK 19,000-21,000 after tax. Without Swedish that usually means cleaning, warehouse, food delivery, restaurant or hotel work, and it often takes months to find.
The official student maintenance level is SEK 10,656/month for one person (Stockholm University advises SEK 11,214). A couple realistically needs SEK 16,000-20,000/month, with rent the big item and housing scarce in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Lund and Uppsala.

- Where to apply from Bangladesh
Online in Migrationsverket's e-service from outside Sweden; the application must name the embassy you will visit. Migrationsverket says most applicants get an email for a digital passport check by app.
An embassy appointment is needed if you are told to show the passport in person, if you are summoned to an interview, or if you need a visa and must give fingerprints and a photo for the residence permit card (this applies to Bangladeshis). Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka: the Migration Section has phone hours Sun/Tue/Thu 3:00-4:00 PM.
Paper applications are by email appointment, with the fee paid at BRAC Bank North Gulshan branch. The decision or card is sent to the embassy and collected by appointment. The embassy asks applicants not to contact it unless Migrationsverket instructs. No travel to New Delhi is indicated.
The embassy page itself does not mention biometrics or interviews; that comes from the Migrationsverket page.
Visa and passport risk
checked 14 Nov 2026 · source- Risk for a Bangladesh passport
- Medium
- Why
The approval or refusal rate for Bangladeshi study-permit applicants is not confirmed: no official per-nationality rate was found. No Bangladesh-specific suspension or restriction appears on the Migrationsverket or Dhaka embassy pages.
Confirmed risk signals: the 11 June 2026 package (15 h work cap, 37.5/45 credit progress rule, address reporting within 30 days, family permits revocable, switching to a work permit only after a completed programme) was framed by the government as countering abuse of study permits. Funds must be genuinely your own, in your own account.
Migrationsverket alone decides on interviews. A strong academic profile helps. A married applicant with a co-applying spouse and funds below the requirement would be refused on maintenance alone.
- Visa processing time
Migrationsverket (cases decided in the last 12 months): 75% of first-time higher-education study permits are decided within 3 months; family applying afterwards, 75% within 5 months. The page warns that actual waits vary.
The application can only be made after tuition is paid (admission results 1 April 2027), so realistic filing is April-May 2027.

After the degree and PR
checked 14 Nov 2026 · source- Work after the degree
A residence permit to look for work or start a business for up to one year after bachelor's or master's studies (12-18 months after a doctorate). You must have completed a higher-education programme of at least two semesters with all courses passed, and apply before the study permit expires.
Maintenance of SEK 10,656/month + SEK 4,440/month for your spouse must be shown again for the planned stay; the fee is SEK 1,500 per adult. Family can apply at the same time, and adult family members "are permitted to work" (explicit here).
Students who find a job can apply for a work permit from inside Sweden before the study permit expires if they completed a programme of at least two semesters.
- no single source · see all sources
- PR route
Study time does not count: permits for studies below doctoral level are excluded from the 5-year long-term-resident count, and the employee route counts work-permit years only. Route: a 1-2 year master's, then an optional 12-month job-seeker permit, then a work permit with a Swedish employer.
The work-permit salary floor is SEK 34,470/month (90% of the median SEK 38,300, updated 16 June 2026). The Swedish Migrationsverket page confirms that students holding a Swedish study permit are exempt from the salary floor on the first work-permit application only.
It can apply at extension (it applies to all extensions registered from 2 December 2026). Permanent residence permit for employees: you have worked in Sweden on work permits four of the past seven years, sustainable self-support (taxed income; SEK 6,243/month left after housing for a single adult in 2026), and expected good conduct.
Family members: at least 3 years on a Swedish residence permit, adults must support themselves, good conduct. Caution: from 12 July 2026 permanent permits stopped being granted for protection and long-term-resident categories (5-year permits instead), and Migrationsverket states that permanent permits are generally no longer granted.
The employee route to a permanent permit is still on the official page as of 14 Nov 2026, but the political direction is further tightening.
- Language for PR
No Swedish language requirement is listed on the official page for the employee permanent residence permit (requirements: four of the past seven years of work, self-support, good conduct). Citizenship does require Swedish language and knowledge of Swedish society for ages 16-66 since 6 June 2026.
SFI course D, Swedish school or adult-education grades are accepted; otherwise the citizenship test applies (society part from August 2026, language part later, no date given).
Recent rule changes
no single source · see all sources- 2025 and 2026
From Migrationsverket pages unless noted. (1) 1 June 2026: new work-permit rules; salary floor 90% of the median = SEK 34,470/month (median updated 16 June 2026). The transitional exemption for some extensions ends 1 December 2026, and the floor applies to all extensions from 2 December 2026.
(2) 6 June 2026: citizenship needs 8 years' residence (was 5), self-support of about SEK 20,000/month before tax, Swedish language and society knowledge; no transitional rules.
(3) 11 June 2026: students limited to 15 h/week (unlimited June-August); 37.5 credits in year 1 and 45 credits/year after; address notification within 30 days; switching to a work permit from inside Sweden requires a completed programme of at least two semesters; family permits revocable with the student's.
Applies to permits granted on or after 11 June 2026. (4) 12 July 2026: permanent residence permits generally no longer granted for protection and long-term-resident categories (5-year permits instead). (5) 13 July 2026: stricter good-conduct requirements for residence permits. (6) 1 October 2026: new family-immigration rules.
For students' families: comprehensive health insurance if staying up to one year, legal-guardianship proof for a child who is not the student's; maintenance requirement unchanged.
(7) Family members of students pay application and tuition fees for their own bachelor's or master's studies from Autumn 2027 (Jönköping University page, updated 21 October 2026). (8) The maintenance amount is SEK 10,656/month for applications in 2026 (SEK 10,584 in 2025); the 2027 amount is not yet published.
- Corrected in this check
- Spouse work rights: the Migrationsverket sentence about a residence and work permit is conditional ('If you are granted a residence and work permit...') and sits in the general decision section. The page also says the Agency will 'determine whether you can be granted a work permit'. The law (Aliens Act 6 kap. 3 §) says a work permit may be granted; the ordinance (4 a kap. 6 §) gives students' families a residence permit only. 'Full' is kept as the normal outcome, but it is discretionary and needs written confirmation.
- Currency: the Bangladesh Bank cross rate (124.75 / 12.51) gives 1 USD = 9.97 SEK. On that rate: show-money for 12 months is USD 18,170 (22.7 lakh BDT), for 24 months USD 36,330 (45.3 lakh BDT), permit fees USD 301, typical tuition USD 12,900, and the pre-application minimum USD 22,700-26,200.
- The first-year total is about USD 35,600 and the couple's living cost USD 20,500 (about SEK 17,000/month), so the components add up.
- Salary-floor exemption for former students: it covers the first work-permit application only; the floor can apply at extension.
- The salary floor applies to all work-permit extensions registered from 2 December 2026; the median salary figure SEK 38,300 was updated 16 June 2026.
- Health insurance: it is required for the student too when studies are under one year, and for family when staying under one year and not in the population register.
- Embassy: the Dhaka embassy page does not mention biometrics or interviews; those requirements come from the Migrationsverket study page. The embassy has set phone hours and asks applicants not to contact it unless told to.
- Spring 2027: master's results came on 7 October 2026. The Spring 2028 deadline is not confirmed.
- Permanent residence timing: with a one-year master's the minimum is about 5 years (1 + 4), 6 with a two-year programme. The self-support figure is SEK 6,243/month after housing, and family adults must support themselves.
- Citizenship: the self-support threshold is about SEK 20,000/month before tax, and the test covers ages 16-66.

Conditional. Route 2 fits a BBA: at least 60 credits in economics, informatics or business administration with at least one course in econometrics or regression analysis and one in statistics or mathematics.
You must show a regression or econometrics course on the transcript (attach the syllabus if the course name differs); this is not confirmed for your degree. English 6 (IELTS 6.5): you pass. GMAT/GRE is not mentioned on the page. Selection is on academic merit, weighted to quantitative courses.
- Why it fits
Best ranking for the money: a top-100 university, one year, the same tuition as Dalarna BI, and squarely your field (analytics for business). The risk is competition and the regression-course requirement.
Sister options at Lund: Entrepreneurship and Innovation (SEK 150,000) and International Strategic Management (SEK 160,000; needs 60 ECTS business administration, and you qualify). Lund's MSc Information Systems needs 60 credits of IS courses, so you do not qualify.
