Move to Sweden
Are you considering moving to Sweden?
We look forward to welcoming you! Here we have gathered everything you need to know before moving. Authorities to contact, how to find a job, rent/buy a home, apply for school and some facts about Sweden and our region.
We figure you may know a few things about Sweden already since you found this page. So, we will try not to repeat ourselves too much. Here in Sweden, you will get to enjoy the best of our all four seasons: snowy winters, flourishing springs, bright summers, and colorful falls. Yes, it can get a bit dark during the winter, but on the other hand the sun never seems to set in the summer.
We are facing the biggest societal change in 100 years where the green industry creates the conditions for both historic growth and people moving to our region. Do you also want to join the journey?
Moving to a new country is a big step and there are quite a few things to take care of before and during your relocation. We have therefor created a checklist with 10 important steps to care of when you move to Sweden – Chronologically.
Just like we mentioned earlier, moving to a new country involves many big steps, and there’s a lot to consider. That’s why every municipality in our region offers free relocation services to make the transition as smooth as possible for you.
An important part of our DNA is parental leave and combining career and kids. Your Swedish colleagues will stay home for VAB (care of children).
Sweden is quite an informal country. Applying for a job at a Swedish company is therefore quite informal as well. You might already have a resume or a CV, Curriculum Vitae, with an overview of your studies, experience, skills and overall achievements.
If you are interested to come here and study, we have the Mid Sweden University located in Sundsvall. Mid Sweden university is a two-campus university with campuses in the city centres of Sundsvall and Östersund. Here, you will find the perfect mix between a high-quality study programme and great quality of life.
Allemansrätten, is forever in our hearts! We are exceptionally proud of Allemansrätten. The freedom to roam is the general public’s right to access most public or privately owned land, lakes, and rivers for recreation and exercise.
