Moving to Sweden

Moving to a new country is a big deal.

It takes an effort to organize an international relocation and the process raises many questions.

The steps you will need to take depends on your nationality. EU/EEA citizens have a right of residence in Sweden and will find the move rather easy. Non-EU/EEA citizens will need an offer of employment from a Swedish company before arrival.

The main requirement for getting a Swedish visa and work permit is to have a job offer before entering the country. The employer will start the visa application process with the Swedish government on behalf of the international employee before the relocation.
