5 Hidden Obstacles When Moving To Sweden 

Were you aware of these obstacles?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Watch next ► ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1qSqzrCGIYo.html

I think the childcare system here in Sweden is unreal compared to the UK! Especially with how little it costs. You're right though, you definitely only see the real benefits if you work full time.

There’s two types of job contracts in Sweden regarding paid vacation; one where you get paid vacation in advance (employee is in debt to employer) and one where you get your vacation as you have earned them. It has its pros and cons; with vacation in advanced you can get pay reduction when you leave if you have taken too much vacation. With vacation as you earn it means you may need to take some unpaid vacation the first year. You earn 1/12 of your vacation each month so if you have 30 days vacation you earn about 30/12 days (2.5 days) every month. So if you worked 6 months you have ~ 15 payed days. Basically just don’t worry about it, you still have vacation whichever of the two systems you are in, but it behaves strangely the first and last year of your job depending of which system you are in. Unpaid vacation vs weirdness in the end, it all becomes correct and same amount regardless of system.

Nice video, thanks to share it!

Thank you for posting this helpful video

Hi! I dont think you have to worry that much about the holidays. As a few others said you are entitled to 5 weeks a year no matter what with 4 consecutive weeks if you want to, but if you have worked less than a year for that company you might need to take some of that time unpaid. Its the same for anyone who switch jobs, not just for "foreigners". Tim Nilsson sums it up nicely! Hope you and your family enjoys your life here 👍🏼

You are talking about the 25 days (minimum by law) vacation. The holidays like midsummer, easter, christmas etc you will always get no matter what. You can always demand 5 weeks vacation and 4 weeks consecutive but it will be unpaid if you haven't accumulated any working days from the previous year. If you have worked for lets say 6 months the previous year you will receive half of those 25 days. It's the same dilemma every time you change employer. In that case however any accumulated vacation will be paid out as money when you quit. So you do essentially pay for your own vacation. EDIT: Perhaps I should add that the accumulation of "days worked" is based on the company's fiscal year. So if the fiscal year is April to March and you start working in April you will have the full amount of vacation the next year. EDIT2: Some unions also offers "arbetstidsförkortning" (work time shortening =P) which you receive every month. I believe the total time of arbetstidsförkortning I receive every year is around 70 h.

For each month you work on a new job, you get about 2 days holiday for each month worked. This applies to everyone in Sweden who starts a new job. If you still have a holiday at your old job, these days you will be paid in cash. If you have a BankID, you can fix most things, for example vaccine pass.

Good to see u from India,my son moving to Sweden from Japan this month end

Thanks for this, it's very helpful, particularly the summertime and personummer info which shocked me a little! We're planning to buy a home there in Spring (and I've read it's also often cheaper to buy than rent but of course the catch being homes can be too far from work) and the summer holiday thing explains now why I haven't heard back from the Immigration Office! :/ Luckily the estate agent informed us we can still purchase a home there without being resident or having a personummer, but we do intend applying for one soon as we get there. Sounds like we'll just have to wing it!

You always get the time off, but the first year it might not be paid. As you work you "store up" paid leave for coming vacations. On the other hand, when you quit a job you will get the stored up paid leave in cash. And you can use this yourself to get paid leave at your next job.

The vacation you have to work for. To get 5-6 weeks payed vacation you have to work from April to April in the next year.

The Hollyday system is based on what you have done you pay your time of whit your monthly salary Every time you are new employed it’s tricky but change your job after the summer so you have the hole vinter to work so you pay for your vacation.

If you quit your job before you've taken out your outstanding vacation, that would usually be paid out as a lump sum of money. If you then start a new job, you can usually (always?) take unpaid vacation, so the extra money you got when you left your old job should cover it. So I think this is mostly an issue when you start your very first job, or if you've been away from the job market for a while (or enter it from another country). But, many companies offer "Förskottssemester", and as you say, you don't have to pay it back if you stay for 5 years.

Amazing

One thing I don't see mentioned is that it's pretty likely that your employers salary handling/time reporting system probably keeps track of your holiday, meaning that it can tell you the precise number of days off you've earned so far, and how many you have utilized. So you should be able to take just the number of days you've earned if you want your holiday to be paid.

This was very helpful, especially about kindergarten. I have a 3 year old and am not sure if I could survive without getting a break with preschool. Do you know how many hours you can get in preschool if you don’t work? Also, at what age do they go to school longer hours there? Thank you I love your videos!!!

I’m having trouble finding a job and was wondering where is it best to find a remote job in Sweden? I’ve tried the sites but was wondering if you have an recommendations :))

the hollidays are regulated in the "kollektivavtal" unions agreement... never heard of this. I hope it works out.. who gave you this information?

Well, Swedish law says you have the right to have four weeks vacation during the summer months The first year, they aren't paid, because you earn it during the previous year. The "earning year" goes from april 1st to march last, so depending on the time of year you could have some days paid. About two days per worked month. Edit: Some companies or professions do give put paud days in advance, but that is not the common thing to do.

Nice informative video! For a German who lived in uk than why you select Sweden? Sorry if is personal question ⁉️

I read that it takes 5 years of living in Sweden before you can apply for citizenship. Does this mean that you have to pay out of pocket for medical expenses for the first 5 years, or do you automatically get to use the health care system once you start paying taxes? Thanks!

Hi! Is it still highly required in Sweden to have the cov 19 vaccine in order to get a job? Thanks !

Holidays sounds very strange. Either you have them or you don't. (Depending on your profession) I never heard about holidays being metered out like that. Do ypu mean vacation time perhaps? Sounds strange, or perhaps I am misunderstanding something. Working on a public holiday is always paid higher.

Hello, Is a vaccine required to stay, work or study there?

Halo please could you tell me my chance of getting job via sweden job seeker visa ,i am a doctor in Ethiopia ,Africa.

Hi! I'm 65 years old and a single dad with more than 40 years of experience as a journalist in the Philippines. I'd like to migrate to Sweden with my two kids, aged 12 and 14 years old. Is there an age limit to work in Sweden? I'm willing to be trained in jobs other than writing. Thank you for your informative vlog.

Is it safe to run a bar in Sweden at this point, or is there another country I should be looking for?

This was going so well until you said 'how are you going to prove you've had it? and I thought, 'I'm never going to be in a situation when i have to prove I've had /that/ stuff.' I'm mean, we've all heard the reports now, a year on from the video's filming. Would have been a helpful channel.

You get vacation in the first year. But you don't get paid vacation.

Is the vaccine still required to travel? I thought it was dropped around the time this video was posted.

is it late to move in my forties and dont speak swedish?

You work a year for get new vacation days every year and thats is for us swedes to. At new yer you start again and over and over.... you can not get a price for someting befor you earned them. And thats alot of things in sweden. You ned to work and pay taxes to get what swedem offers.

You are entitled to 5 weeks of but if you got a new job direct before the holidays you wont get a paid vaccation, you got to work one year to get the money,

You holliday paied by you your self and transfered to a holliday account by your employer,12% of your monthly income goes into that account for your holliday,so this is not a governmental system it is earned by your self but not voulenteered you have to pay for it.

Im raised in Sweden 💀

I want to come to Sweden for investment

Looks like they take their sweet, long time to even reply to any single message you send if you are interested in renting an apartment...

So basically, for a non college educated 45 year old man with a 6,000 USD pension would basically have to hit the nightclub as soon as he arrives and ask the first woman that he sees to marry him and have a child with him just so that he can find a place to live..🤔

Can you talk about language

Tko tu kome što govori ,komentatori ili vi.

You do not sound a native english speaker. It would be intresting if you would compair you counry of origen with Sweden.

Who in his right mind would actually even want to consider moving to Sweden?!?

Don’t arrive clean shaved as long beard is preferred , don’t bring ID/passport so you can lie about identity, don’t say your real country of birth, don’t say your real age as then you can’t get away with bad crime. If you follow these recommendations you will get everything for free. New ID, passport, apartment, clothe and food for the rest of your life.
