Thresholds are dated: each month is checked against the minimum that applied then.

In Sweden, tax facts are dated the same way: the SINK rate and the expert-tax salary level shown in steps are the ones in force when the step is due (Settio staff keep them in Admin → Salary thresholds).

In Sweden, expert tax has a hard deadline: Forskarskattenämnden must receive the application no later than three months after the first working day, so the step is due on that day and marked Hard deadline.

What is checked depends on the destination country: every permit gets its expiry, passport and extension-window alerts; salary months, the start deadline, the appeal deadline, permanent residence and the time to find a new employer appear only for countries whose rules Settio has for them.

Salary months are checked in Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. Each month is held to the permit's own terms, and to the country's dated level where one applies to the route: the Blue Card (or its lower threshold), Germany's level for a first title at 45 or older, Denmark's pay limits, Norway's levels for positions that need a degree, the Netherlands' income criteria by age, France's talent cards, Belgium's regional levels (with Wallonia's lower Blue Card level for under three years' experience and the ICT levels by role) and Portugal's Blue Card levels. A level stated a year is spread over the country's salary payments a year. Where the case doesn't say which level applies (a lower Blue Card threshold, the position's education, an ICT transferee's role), the lower level is used (or only the permit's terms are checked) until you answer the question on the person's details.

In the Netherlands, a salary below the income criterion also reminds you that a recognised sponsor reports it to the IND within four weeks. Other changes get their own report step: see Sponsor duties.

A new salary floor for extensions: when a level changes for extensions from a coming date (in Sweden, extensions registered from 2 December 2026 need 90 % of the median, also for permits first granted under the older rules), the Permit card warns now for every holder whose permit runs past that date and whose salary is below it, with the date, the monthly gap and the source. Open the extension step starts the extension early; nothing is added until you do. Rule updates lists everyone the change reaches.

A country marked Beta in the new-case wizard is switched on for your workspace early: its steps have not yet been reviewed by a local expert, so check each one against the official sources.

Permits held: beside the main permit, add a visa, residence card, interim receipt or certificate under Details → Permits held. Each gets its own reminders before it expires, and the days of grace after it where the country states them.

Renewal: when the country's renewal window opens, the renewal steps appear (prepare, then apply by the last day); family members without their own permit get them with the main permit's dates. A cap on renewals is flagged.

Something changed: a new address, a birth, a new role, the job ending… Details → Something changed shows the steps the country needs and adds them when you confirm. Changes the employee reports in the portal, or the employer reports, wait there for your team.

Restrictions (an entry ban, an absence report, an unpaid fine) are kept under Details → Restrictions and only your team sees them.

Settling for good: where the country's content has the clock, Details → Settling for good shows from when the person may apply for permanent residence, EU long-term residence or citizenship (counted from the permit or the arrival, by route), with the conditions besides time. Record time spent abroad there: an absence over the limits starts the clock again. A step appears on the case 90 days before the date. Sweden's permanent residence keeps its own reminder and Start permanent residence.

Social security: Details → Social security records which country's system covers the person (covered here, an A1 for a posting or work in two countries, an exception, a bilateral agreement) and the certificate with its expiry; it gets reminders like the permits held. Where the country offers it, a family or a commuter insured elsewhere gets the S1 step; leaving steps include the U1.
