Hi expats!
I'm a postdoc starting in Sweden this Fall, with a 13 month contract to provide some flexibility with possible travel restrictions. My wife and I have been approved for a residence permit over the same time frame. My understanding is that the personnummer can be obtained for people residing in Sweden for more than a year, but my question is whether this qualifying year is determined by the length of the residence permit or by the length of the stay (i.e. if due to travel restrictions we arrived in Sweden a month and a half into the permit whether we would still be eligible for the personnummer).
Thank you!
