Thinking of moving to Sweden for love? Try your own country first. by jennaiwanchuk
Hey everyone, I often see the same topics being posted over and over here. "How do I move to Sweden to be with my [significant other]?" and "Struggling to find work and accomodation" are common threads. I will first and ...
HA. You have a point, but it only works half way. If my sambo didn't have such a good job, we would move back to Canada in a heartbeat. We plan on getting married in Canada as well. If (and that's a big IF) anything bad ever happened ... Read More

Hey, sorry this reply will be short because I am writing from my phone, but the reason why it was likely not as troublesome for you bureaucratically-speaking is likely because you're from the EU. As a Canadian, cold weather doesn't phase me ... Read More

When I can get home I can quite literally take a photo of the beslut they sent to me for you. It said I was "nekad" because I was an "utländskt medborgare" :( Read More

Student considering moving to Sweden by ztm302
Hi, I'm 20 years old currently studying in Australia and considering the prospect of moving to Sweden with my girlfriend who lives in Malmo. I am a dual citizen of the United Kingdom so I understand I have the right to live and work in Sweden ...
You might in fact have a bit more leeway than most other immigrants have due to the fact that you have dual citizenship with the UK, thereby making you an EU citizen by proxy. I will tell you though that non-EU citizens with permanent residency do ... Read More
