Hey! My name is Alex. I have a family of 4 and currently reside in the US. This is not an ideal or safe place for my family anymore and we'd like to look in to moving. After a bunch of research my partner and I have decided we would attempt to see if Sweden is a fit for our family. But we don't know where to start there are so many questions. How do we get work visas? How do we get a place for our family? How long would we wait for healthcare as I have a condition i'd need medication for. My partner works in the maintenance field and does work on heavy equipment. I have a biology degree, as well as manager experience for 5 years. I'm currently self employed but i'm not sure my business would be enough to provide for my family if i used that for my visa. I'm just so lost as to what to do. Thanks for reading, and welcoming me to the group.

Hello Alex,

Welcome on board !

Why do you think that Sweden is a good fit for you ?

I suggest that you read the articles of the Living in Sweden guide for expats to gather as much information as possible.

The official immigration website will also come handy : https://www.migrationsverket.se/English.html

All the best
