   b) means of support including medical insurance
   c) family reunification with an European Union citizen who comply with the above conditions

Thus, no residence or work permit are required for Romanian citizens before arriving to Sweden and registration of residence can be made upon arrivalto Sweden.

However, note that this does not apply for citizens of a 3rd country residing in Romania unless they are subject to family reunification to an EU-citizen residing in Sweden. In this case, an application for a residence card can be made upon arrival to Sweden.

Required travel documents
For the time being, Sweden does not accept entry on Swedish territory on the sole basis of a Romanian id-card. Thus a Romanian passport is required until further notice.

For moldovan citizens visiting to Sweden, applying for visa at the swedish Embassy to Romania, a romanian entry or transitvisa will be required.
