Make sure you have a valid, up-to-date passport before travelling.
Nordic
citizens are free to live and work in Sweden as they please. Citizens
of EU/EEA states can live and work in Sweden without any permit or visa for
up to three months, after that they will have to apply for a
residence
certificate. This is available to employees, self-employed people, service
providers, students and those who are otherwise able to support themselves,
including family members of EU/EEA citizens. Swiss citizens and non-EU citizens
who have resident status in an EU member state have similar rights to EU/EEA
citizens.
If you’re a citizen of a non-EU/EEA country and none of the above situations
apply to you you’ll have to apply for work and residence
permits before entering Sweden at least two months in advance. The Migration
Board is responsible for issuing visas to Sweden when needed. Please consult
their website for more information about the rules and regulations concerning
visas and residence permits:
Note that if you have children and you’re planning to stay in Sweden for an
extended period it will be very helpful to have copies of their birth certificates.
