Answer 2

Why are you coming over? Do you know people here, or?

If not, your biggest hurdle will be to get a visa to stay. Sweden is now only accepting people with certain degrees or skills that is needed in the country.

Have you decided on a specific place to live? If you have then I can help you with links to find living arrangements...

For work you really need to learn Swedish. Do you speak our language? Otherwise you're only chance for work will be cleaning or something similar. Feel free to e-mail me if you like. Maybe you can ask some more specific question. It's difficult to answer such a broad topic...

Answer 3

You don't necessarily need to speak Swedish to get a job, it heavily depend on what field you are in. Do however expect to "start at the bottom". And be out in good time, start sending in job applications at least 3 (I would recommend 6-9) months before you plan to make the move and be ready to have everything (education, work experience etc.) well documented. Also, if you are not familiar with the Swedish culture and way of doing things, have someone Swedish read through your CV/cover letter as the “proper” way of writing those differ.

As for work permits and such, get in contact with the Swedish embassy and they will give you all the help you need.

Best of luck to you!
