Checklist: Moving to Sweden

Check Solution
Residence & registration on arrival EU citizens must register with Skatteverket within 3 months, which includes applying for a personal identity number (personnummer). Afterwards you gain access to many public services.
Check visa or residence permit Non-EU citizens need a visa before entering the country; otherwise a residence permit from Migrationsverket is required. All documents must then be submitted in full.
Arrange health insurance & social security After registration you gain access to the healthcare system and to social security. You should also check whether private supplementary insurance is needed.
Clarify taxes & main residence Anyone living in Sweden must register with the tax authority, as the personal identity number is required for tax purposes. A tax adviser can help if you are unsure.
Handle change of address / re-registration The new address must be reported to Skatteverket as well as to banks and insurers, so that everyone is informed. Employers should also be notified.
Check importing your belongings from abroad When moving from non-EU countries, customs formalities must be observed, whereas imports within the EU are duty-free. In addition, transport insurance should be checked.
Arrange utilities & accommodation Electricity, water and internet must be registered with local providers, and rental contracts often do not include utility costs. By contrast, some landlords take care of the registration.
Look into language and integration courses Sweden offers many language courses and integration programmes, for example through the “SFI” programme. There are also local associations and integration courses.

FAQ: Moving to Sweden

Question Answer
How does the matching of a moving company for Sweden work? We work with vetted moving companies. First we compare quotes, then we check available dates and match you with suitable haulage firms. You will also receive individual, non-binding cost estimates, so everything stays transparent.
