Sweden & Italy

I have a valid residence permit in Italy, but I got a job offer in Sweden. Can I move to Sweden and start working?

You need to apply for a residence permit in Sweden. Different application procedures apply depending on your residence status in Italy.If you have the status as a “long-term resident” in Italy (soggiornante di lungo periodo UE/CE), you can apply for a residence permit after the arrival in Sweden and you can work during the processing of your application for residence permit.

More information.

If you do not have the status as a long-term resident, you must have been granted the Swedish residence permit before you enter Sweden and start working.
