If you have the status as a “long-term resident” in another EU country (e.g in Italy) and want to work in Sweden, you can apply for a residence permit after the arrival in Sweden. You can work during the processing of your application for residence permit.
The application is handed in to the Swedish Migration Agency. See their website for information about required documents and application form.
Note that you must register for taxes and contribution with the Swedish Tax Agency.
You may also have to register your business with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
A person with the status as a long-term resident in Italy has the text “soggiornante di lungo periodo UE/CE” on the Italian residence permit card.
If you have the status as a “long-term resident” in another EU country (e.g in Italy), but you cannot apply from Sweden, you need to book an appointment with the Embassy of Sweden in Rome to register your application. The application will then be sent to the Swedish Migration Agency for handling and decision.
