Work in Sweden - EU/EEA citizens
EU/EEA citizens have the right to work and live in Sweden provided they are able to support themselves, either by work or by other independent means. You must register your right of residence with the Swedish Migration Board within three months of entering Sweden.
For detailed information on rules and how to register see the website of the Swedish Migration Board
Swedish ID number
Once you have moved to Sweden and intend to live there for a year or more, in most cases you are required to register with the Swedish Population Register. The Register is managed by the Swedish Tax Agency. When you register you will get an ID number, which is a necessary part of daily life in Sweden as it is used in all transactions with authorities, shops, estate agents, banks etc. Registration at the Population Register can only be done after you have moved to Sweden.
