Migrationsverket
Applies the ruleThe Swedish Migration Agency, which decides residence permits, work permits, visas and citizenship. Its site publishes, per application category, the conditions it applies, the documents it asks for, the fee, and the monetary thresholds that the Aliens Act and the Aliens Ordinance leave to it - the maintenance figure for students, the salary figure corresponding to the statutory percentage of the median wage, and the capital a self-employed applicant must hold. It carries a dated news archive that is the quickest way to learn an amending Act's commencement date, and a complete sitemap at /sitemap.xml.
The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

It is the agency describing the law it applies, not the law. Where a page states a requirement that no instrument states - the 200,000 kronor a self-employed applicant must hold, the 51 per cent shareholding, the 700 kronor a day for a visitor - that is the agency's practice and must be cited as the agency's, never as the Aliens Act's. Its figures are dated by the year of application and move annually, so a figure quoted without its year is already wrong. The agency publishes no page at all for the self-support ground in chapter 5, section 5, third paragraph of the Aliens Act: its application menu has no category for it, which is a fact about the agency's presentation and not about the provision. News items are announcements rather than instruments and corroborate a date at best.
