Swedish-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - For Migrationsverket, Swedish Universities and Swedish Business in Georgia

Swedish and Georgian: development, migration and a demanding bureaucracy

Sweden has supported Georgia's reforms through Sida for two decades, and Swedish embassy programs, consultants and NGOs are a constant presence in Tbilisi. Georgians go to Sweden on work permits for IT, engineering, healthcare, restaurants and cleaning, on study permits to Swedish universities where tuition for non-EU students is paid but scholarships exist, and through marriage and family reunification; Swedish companies in telecoms, engineering, retail and forestry work in Georgia; and Swedish tourists, hikers and wine buyers visit. Every one of these connections produces documents, and Sweden's authorities - Migrationsverket, Skatteverket, Försäkringskassan, UHR, Socialstyrelsen - are precise about how foreign documents must be presented.

Sweden certifies translations through auktoriserade translatorer authorized by Kammarkollegiet after a demanding examination, and Swedish authorities generally prefer, and sometimes require, their stamp; but Kammarkollegiet has never authorized a translator for Georgian, so Georgian documents have always reached Swedish offices through English or Russian relay translations. Georgia has the notarized translation. Our Swedish team at David Agmashenebeli Ave 117 - Georgian sworn translators with Swedish training, native Swedish editors and a partner auktoriserad translator in Stockholm for the English or Russian re-certification Swedish offices accept - connects the two systems and translates from the Georgian source directly.
