Post new topic

Bhavna

Hello everyone,

Budget is an important consideration when moving to Sweden. Ideally, expats would settle down in a city in Sweden where the cost of living is low but where they could also enjoy a decent quality of life. Would you be able to give a few tips to someone planning a move to Sweden by answering the questions below?

What are the cheapest cities in Sweden?

Why are they cheap? What singles them out as a city where the cost of living is low?

What is the average budget for one person living in these cities?

Is it easy to find a job as an expat in these cities? What is the overall quality of life like?

Are they expat friendly? Would you recommend these cities to someone looking to settle in Sweden?

Please share your experience,

Bhavna
