  1. Being brutally honest, if you are 16, with no higher education, no unique skills in demand in the labour market & no family connection, then the chance you can get to move to Sweden and live there legally is zero

    Basically immigration laws have tighted up generally over the last 5-10 years due to large influxes of immigrants and movements of people within the EU

    Therefore unless you hold an EU/EFTA passport it is very difficult to get a working visa (and to get citizenship which is what I assume you mean by ID means that you must be resident for more than 5 years (at least depending on the country) and be fluent in the language.

    To get a permit to stay & work (and non-EU/EEA) then you have to apply for a visa.  You will either need to be (a) self-employed and show evidence of a thiving business (b) a highly skilled migrant with skills/experience which are in demand in Europe (and usually already receiving a high salary in your domestic country) or (c) sponsored by a company - and this is only normally done in the case that they cannot fulfil the job from the pool of labour within the EU or that you have specialist knowledge/experience

    Also in principle you will need to speak the language of the country you work in (although there are exceptions to this if the company is an International one whose working language is e.g. English)

    There are small differences but there generally the policies are very similar and restrictive for all EU countries, but I do not know about the non-EU ones.

    The best thing to do in order to get accurate info including viability & time is to contact the embassy of the country you are interested in. You can also read a lot more about it on the official department page here http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.j...

    Personally I would say that (a) at 16 you are in no position to make life decisions such as upping and lifting to a new country - (have you even been to Sweden) and (b) stay and get some education under your belt.  It will help you a lot more in the future than dreaming about living in another country.... but as I said, that's just my opinion


  2. First you are 16 years old and your place is by your parents until you are at least 18 years old, and not in Sweden.

    1.You have to have a good education, a very good education.

    2.and at least knowing English by heart.

    3. knowing Swedish too.

    4. You have to have at least some years of working experiences in your field.

    Otherwise it is difficult to have any labour permission what so ever in Sweden.

  3. there arent really any "rules" persay but you would need to get a visa, passport and other c**p...if you have a visa it wont last more than about im guessing 3 months so you should quickly find a job and if you have a job then you get a workers visa which last like 3 years and you can just keep renewing your working visa until you have lived their a certain amount of years to become a citizen.

    so in that you will have double citizenship to both egypt and sweden...i think that works...but dont get me started on taxes...no clue!

    hope i helped
