Hi everyone,

I have a question about my jobseeker visa validity period.

My application timeline is:

• 2025.06 - I applied for an extension of my student residence permit until Oct 31, 2025.
• 2025.10 - I contacted Migrationsverket and changed my application to a residence permit for looking for work after studies (job seeker permit).
• 2025.11 - I graduated and submitted all the supplementary materials.
• 2026.04 - I submitted a request to conclude the case, but it was rejected.
• The case has been pending ever since.

My main concern now is the possible validity period if the permit eventually gets approved. Would it likely be counted from June 2025 or from October/November 2025?

I'm asking because I'm currently planning whether I should move to a new apartment. If the permit would expire already this June, there may not be much point in signing a new rental contract.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Any experiences would be greatly appreciated.
