Looking to move to Sweden?

Removals to Sweden

Sweden boasts some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in Europe, ranging from long sandy beaches in the south to rolling arctic forests in the north. Despite its northern latitude, Sweden enjoys a temperate climate with an average rainfall level considerably lower than the global average (the UK’s average annual rainfall is 1,220mm while Sweden’s is virtually half that at 624mm). Winters in Sweden can be a shock for some expats moving from warmer climates. From December to early March, temperatures can often drop below zero and the sun may only shine for several hours per day. However, summers in the south of the country – where its capital city, Stockholm, is situated and where 70% of the population lives – are warmer than almost everywhere in the UK and even match temperatures experienced along Spain’s northern coast.

Travelling in Sweden

British citizens do not require a visa to enter Sweden as it is a member of the EU but you will need to have a valid passport. If you plan on living in Sweden for longer than a year you will need to register in the Swedish Population Register. Once registered, you will be issued with a personal identity number (personnummer), which are necessary for many day-to-day transactions such as opening bank accounts and dealing with authorities. If you are a European Economic Area (EAA) citizen, you will most likely have right of residence in Sweden. This means you may live in Sweden without needing a residence permit. If you are unsure of your position or you would like further information please visit the Swedish Embassy in London’s website.

Speaking Swedish

The language barrier can be a potential obstacle when relocating to Sweden but fortunately most Swedes speak excellent English as it is taught in Swedish schools from an early age. Sweden has even been ranked as the best EEA nation for integration according to the Migration Integration Policy Index (MIPEX). Higher taxation means Swedish salaries are relatively modest when compared to similar economies. However, expats with Swedish residence permits will benefit significantly from Sweden’s expansive state social security network, which provides excellent free healthcare, education, security and childcare.
