New in Sweden

If you live in Sweden and you are a Swedish citizen or have a permanent residence permit you are covered by Swedish legislation when it comes to legal aid. This means that you are entitled to legal aid if you want the dispute to be heard in Sweden. If you do not have a command of Swedish you are entitled to an interpreter to make yourself fully understood. Your legal representative will arrange this for you and the State will meet the cost of the interpreter. Otherwise the same rules and limitations in the Legal Aid Act apply to you as to persons born in Sweden.
