Sales of Work permits to as much as Skr100,000 rife in Sweden
Sunday, 20 October 2013
How effective is the Swedish jobs market? Young people are not getting
employment and the government is killing itself giving companies tax
breaks as a means for them to recruit more unemployed and young people.
But it turns out that some companies know how to milk the system. They
just sell their work permits for more benefits plus what they get from
the government.
Smaller service companies such saloons and beauty parlour have been
found to be employing illegal workforce made up of immigrants in which
they sell work permits to their compatriots or those who are ready to
buy for up to Skr100,000 (USD15000).
Radio Sweden reports that it has discovered a model in which a work
permit racket works in Sweden. One example is nail polishing salons
that recruit personnel from Vietnam. By calling around to a total of
eight nail salons in Sweden and pretending to be a Vietnamese
jobseeker, radio Sweden could reveal how the process works.
The price ranged between Skr70,000 and Skr140,000 and salary stood at Skr6,500 per month.
“The most important thing is that we have to get a sum of money,” a
saloon told radio Sweden undercover Vietnamese job seeker. This means
the job seeker must pay some money first.
The Swedish migration board is not happy with the news and said to
radio Sweden that they take such research and information seriously.
