Excerpted from the Sweden Career Guide
Sweden, a
European Union (EU) nation, permits European citizens to work in the
country without a visa. Individuals from countries outside the EU/EEA must have
work permits, applied for before entry into Sweden.
To obtain a work
permit, the employer in Sweden must certify to Swedish immigration
authorities that a suitable Swedish or EU/EEA candidate cannot be found
for the position. The employer, not the employee, must handle this part of
the process. An additional obstacle is that Sweden labor authorities
cannot help non-Swedish job seekers find a job in the country; individuals
must conduct their own job searches. A residence visa is usually granted
once the work permit has been approved.
The employee must be fully prepared to leave the
country when the term of employment is over.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Sweden guide.
