    question about visas ?

    I recently got a job for the Apple store in Sweden and I have until August to get there.
    It's great because my SO is going to be studying in Sweden and we'll be able to see each other and stuff.

    I have a passport, but I keep on hearing stuff about visas and work permits ?
    Can someone explain this to me and how do I go about getting it?

    Is it hard to get?

    Start with this site: https://www.globalvisas.com/sweden_v...rk_permit.html

    A good thing is just to visit Sweden's government web site and inquire about visas that way, as you know you'll be getting the right information from the source directly.

      ^good advice right here. Sweden will have their own government immigration website which will outline all the different visa options. I would really make sure you are getting the right visa/know for sure if you don't need one because if you end up at the border and they don't let you in and you say 'but I thought i didnt need a visa!" they will just turn you around and send you back where you came from.

      Visa information is very complicated, there is soooo much to know and sort through, I know my BF has become a member of a forum dedicated to expats. You could probably get some more informed advice on Swedish visas from a forum/support group tailored to it if you do a quick google search for one.

      good luck

        Where are you from? That plays a big part about how much paperwork, red tape and other things you'll have to jump through.

          If you are an EU national, you don't need a visa or anything to live and work in Sweden. You may need to fill out some forms, but nothing major.

              As in, born in Germany and/or France? Did they confer EU citizenship to you?
