(13.000Sek per month and funds for your eventual departure)<\/li>\n<li>have comprehensive health insurance valid for care in Sweden<\/li>\n<li>have a passport valid for the entire period you intend to be in Sweden (if your passport is about to expire, you should extend it because you cannot get a permit for longer than your passport is valid)<\/li>\n<li>currently be located outside of Sweden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What is considered an advanced level degree?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>For a degree to count as advanced level, it must correspond to a 60-credit Master\u2019s degree, a 120-credit Master&#8217;s degree, a professional degree worth 60-330 credits, or a postgraduate\/PhD-level degree.<\/li>\n<li>In your application, you must enclose a letter of consent that gives the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) the right to contact higher education institutions in your home country to verify your educational documents.
