The Application Form U2, also known as form E 303, is the official document for EU/EEA citizens who want to look for work in another EU/EEA country or Switzerland while keeping their Swedish unemployment benefits.
You must meet several requirements to receive the Application Form U2:
Citizens outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland have extra requirements. They must have legal residency and the right to work in the country where they plan to look for employment.
The U2 form allows you to receive Swedish unemployment benefits for up to three months while looking for work in another country. You must register with the Public Employment Service in your destination country. This ensures your job search is officially recorded. Contact your unemployment insurance fund if you need to extend the period.
The application process has several clear steps. First, submit Part A of the form online. Then, contact your unemployment insurance fund to confirm your entitlement. Finally, make sure the completed application reaches the IAF on time with all required information.
If you need to change your planned departure date, notify the relevant office as soon as possible. A late notification may affect your benefit payments while abroad.
