options for moving to sweden by eboyer

Hi Everyone, I am a US citizen, my husband is Swedish. We have been living together for 5 years in the US but want to move to Sweden. I am wondering if anyone has any information to share regarding the moving process specific to not only the ...

Hi! I really have no clue, I have never been through that process myself. Why don't you ask about student visas in the Norway forum? Or check their migration laws? I've only been through the Swedish visa process so I really can't help ... Read More

Hello please advice I am married with 3 kids we are all Swedish except my US citizen husband in USA! We planned a quick move back to Sweden due to health issues and my kids have special needs. I plan on moving from USA to Sweden by end of July ...

You would assume so but an "easy" case is more about how "believable" your relationship is and everything, the country doesn't play that big of a role in that. How fast you get an answer also depends a lot on the home country ... Read More

Hi! You should definitely contact MV with your questions. As of 2016 (I think) you need to fulfill certain maintenance requirements, they do this to make sure that the person moving to Sweden will be taken care of even if they can't find a job ... Read More

Hi! They no longer grant priority on cases but you can apply for a permit residence based on your family ties (your husband and children) and then ask to move the application to an inside application based on the fact that you want/need to be with ... Read More

Hi! Unfortunately you can't apply for the residence permit for your husband until you have an apartment and a job back in Sweden, as you need to prove that you can provide for your family. The partner usually has to stay in their home country ... Read More

Multilingual person by Pinav

Is it resourceful to be fluent in English Spanish and Italian to find a good job in Sweden? If so, in what industry?

itzelnj

You could work as an interpreter or translator but it won't be of much help knowing so many languages if you don't speak Swedish. Read More

If you want to take online lessons I think Verbling is a good site, specially taking into account what you said, Marie. In Verbling you have the option of taking a free trial with any teacher (or as many as you'd like) and you can buy bundles or ... Read More

If you take SFI, the government program, it's entirely free of cost. About how long it will take, that depends on you. You move up levels depending on your performance, so if you study a lot by yourself, which I recommend, you'll be able to ... Read More

I don't understand your question but I think you mean the residence card, right? Because getting a residence permit is quite a long process but it does get you on the path to citizenship and gives you full access to the system. If you have a ... Read More

If you apply for a permit, you get all the rights as a Swedish citizen, so that's best. However, if you want to move to Sweden on the grounds of your marriage, there are some requirements, like your husband having a place to stay and a job to ... Read More

Hi, Caroline. There are companies who can get you a babysitter in Uppsala, like nannynu, or you can approach people personally (which of course would be cheaper). There is a Facebook group where you can find a nanny, for example. I myself have ... Read More

So I'm very early years trying to figure out immigration processes and right now my fiance in sweeden discovered something that might be tricky. America will require an income tax from me even if I am overseas, but if I am to find a job overseas ...

Any bank will take you if you have a personnummer, don't worry. When I applied for mine (at ICA Banken) I saw there were some questions targeted to Americans, maybe you want to look into that one? Read More

Hi, unfortunately it's impossible to even give you an approximate of how long it will take. It can go from days to months and there is truly is no rule for this. All you can do is be patient and stay positive. Best of luck! Read More
