Øresunddirekt's Information centre is located right next to the Centralstationen train station, at Hjälmaregatan 3 in Malmö. The Information centre is open from Monday to Friday and citizens do not need to make an appointment to speak with the staff from the authorities represented there: Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service), Försäkringskassan (Swedish Social Insurance Agency), Länsstyrelsen Skåne (County Administrative Board of Skåne), Region Skåne and Skatteverket (Swedish Tax Agency).

Malin Dahl is the acting site manager and is employed by Länsstyrelsen Skåne and Region Skåne. Get in touch with Malin by email malin.dahl@lansstyrelsen.se or by phone +46 (0) 40 17 64 00.

Among other things, staff can help with issues relating to looking for a job in the Öresund region, Danish apprenticeships, tax rules, social insurance when you commute between Sweden and Denmark, etc. The information centre annually serves over 20,000 visitors through direct customer contact, mail and telephone.

 

We also:

  • organise free information meetings: working in Denmark, Danish apprenticeships and working in Sweden
  • Business advice (appointments with business advisors)
  • Tailored information meetings for companies before recruitment or establishment on the other side of the strait
