Guides about working or running a business in Sweden are available to the public online for free.
Users can go to a guide specifically about working in Sweden. Topics covered include applying for a work permit by people coming from other Nordic countries and EU/EEA and non-EU/EEA citizens. EU stands for European Union while EEA stands for European Economic Area. Additionally there is detail about how to find jobs in Sweden, how to have your degree(s) or certifications recognized in Sweden, and how to register with the Swedish tax agency Skatteverket.
It is important to study this information before relocating to Sweden in order to have a smooth transition. Applying for permits, obtaining a Swedish ID card and opening a bank account can be time consuming, and can potentially interrupt your living accommodations and money transfers.
Another guide is dedication to running a business in Sweden. It gives direction on starting a business in Sweden, bringing an existing business to Sweden and temporarily operating a business in Sweden. This is also information regarding special permits, finances and account and opportunity to qualify for social insurance.
