The Exact Path He Now Helps Students Walk

Miqdad is a living case study of the Sweden route StudVisor maps out for every client: he arrived in Sweden as an international student, studied through to a Master's in Artificial Intelligence at Umeå University, converted his study permit into a work permit, and built a career in Sweden's tech industry — now running his own IT consultancy, Webbmi AB, in Sweden. That path eventually led to Swedish citizenship, closing the full loop from student visa to passport.

Having done every step of the study-to-settlement pipeline himself — the university application, the visa conversion, the job search, the years of work building toward citizenship — Miqdad brings direct, current, on-the-ground knowledge of how Sweden's system actually works day to day, not just what the regulations say on paper.

What He Brings to Every Client Conversation

A computer science and AI background means Miqdad is especially sharp on guiding students into the tech, engineering, and data-driven roles that give the strongest work-permit and long-term settlement odds — a strength he applies across his full portfolio of desks, from the Nordic precision of Sweden and the Netherlands to the very different visa and settlement rhythms of Spain and Italy. And because he's still running his own business in Sweden, his advice reflects what's happening in the European job market right now, not a snapshot from years ago.
