Hi,
I am an Arab American, I speak, English, Hebrew and Arabic, with more than twelve years experience in the IT field, I have no idea about the IT sector in Sweden, and the living cost. Your feedback is appreciated. How easy or hard is it to get a work visa on my American passport, instead of tourist visa?

Thanks, and of course they will, I just have to be patient, i wish if there was specialized groups on this portal, like software engineering for example

Hi,

I found this site quite useful:
http://www.sweden.se/eng/Home/Work/Get- … o-arrival/

It is fairly straightforward, once one knows exactly what to do... No idea about the IT situation though.

Good luck.
