EURES Targeted Mobility Scheme (TMS) Sweden

EURES Targeted Mobility Scheme (TMS) Sweden makes it easier to move and work in EU

EURES Targeted Mobility Scheme (TMS) Sweden is an EU financed project driven by fair mobility standards and a no-profit principle. The aim is to match candidates across EU with employers with hard to fill vacancies, including provision of EURES mobility services and various financial supports.

To take part in TMS Sweden, you must first contact a EURES Adviser to get mobility services such as job search tips, information about labour market conditions and information about TMS and its conditions. Based on certain conditions you can apply for financial support as a contribution to your costs connected to a job interview, relocation to a new country of work, language training, recognition of qualifications. TMS Sweden will verify all information provided, and both EURES adviser involved and recruiting employer will be contacted during the application process. No financial support can be granted until we received written answers from both EURES adviser and employer.

Please note there is no legal entitlement to funding. Applications can be rejected if the eligibility criteria are not met.

TMS offers:

  • You can apply to receive financial support to travel for a job interview if an employer in another EU country, Norway or Iceland invites you. You can also apply for an interview trip within your country of residence, if it is a recruitment towards a job in another EU country, Norway, or Iceland.

    The allowance is a contribution towards travel, accommodation and subsistence costs depending on the distance and duration of the interview. If the actual costs are substantially lower than the allowance, it may be reduced accordingly.

  • Relocation allowance (support to get settled in the new country of work). This is a flat rate of 1800 Euro, divided in three instalments.
  • Family allowance. When you have been offered a job and applied for a relocation allowance through TMS Sweden, you can also apply for financial support for your spouse and dependent children, if they are relocating and settling with you in the country of destination. The financial support is a flat rate per family of 1320 Euro divided in two instalments.
  • Language course: Recruited or pre-selected candidates can be reimbursed for shorter language courses up to max. EUR 2.200 per jobseeker.
  • Recognition of qualifications: Payment of financial support may be claimed, flat rate of max EUR 440, after submission of the recognition request to the competent clarification body in the new country of work
