See you in my next video!
Sweden is one of the best countries in the world to live in. It has its problems like the weather, but compared to many other places, living there is one of the best places to live. It's even better than living in the United States.
Funny you should mention the weather. I love the cold and hate the sun, so the weather is a plus in my opinion. 😄
- The cap on health/medicare is no longer 1150, it is 1300 Crowns. Also the cap for prescribed medication has gone up.
- The price to see a doctor varies from what Län you are in. 200 is common but some places is different.
- Transportation sucks, only if you are in a major city, it is good, if you live in a more rural town or the countryside it is not very good.
- I would not say education and healthcare is free, it is not free, it is paid by almost extortive taxes, some of these taxes are named varies fees. Just to make people not really realize how much taxes they pay. It is not just the income tax. Income tax is paid pased on your salary excluding the social fees, the social fees is in fact a part of your salary/wage, but you dont see it. Then when you buy things, normally you pay 25% moms, which is similar to VAT/Sales tax, apart from food which is 12%. This is baked into the price, so many dont pay attention to what the real price is. Just for reference, I made a calculation for a friend of mines, common month. He is a regular worker in a factory, works 40h a week, changes shift every week. A pretty common lifestyle with a car to drive to work, regular Swedish habits and living alone. His total tax in a month averaged just short of 69%. Now, imagine if you have a job where you earn a little more than an average factory worker...... You will pay even more tax.
- We do get a lot of benefits for our tax money, but also, a lot of the tax money is spent with, lets say, not very wise political decisions.
- It is good that you mention that it is best to come here on a visa. We unfortunatly have a lot of unlawful people living in Sweden without a visa. Sweden has been pretty leaniant to these people in the past but the new installed government are just starting to make new measures and eventually, if someone comes/stays here unlawfully, they will eventually be kicked out, banned, and with a ban, you are also banned from the rest of the EU and ESTA countries, this includes not only EU, but Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and more.
- One can get jobs without knowing Swedish, but not all kinds of jobs. And, it is expected that you learn Swedish pretty quickly.
- Sweden has quite a high unemployment rate, so there are quite a competition for jobs. Naturally a person who is a national and speaks fluent Swedish will benefit from this in a competition about jobs which makes it more competative for an immigrant to get any of those jobs.
Good information thanks
I am a Swede and a proud taxpayer. I am lucky to have been born here and I hope you feel welcome and much appreciated.
Oh awesome! Thanks for the warm Swedish welcome.
You are indeed lucky 🥰
Thank you for great informative video. And you seem to think just as me about Sweden. As all countries we also have our problems. But when I think about my country and compare it to any other country. There's no better country in the world.. Yes we pay a lot of tax. But we get amazingly lot for it. And we have a safety net that thru tax cares for the most vulnerable in our society. Much love from me /J
Thanks Jonny, we share similar views.
Am trying to relocate to Sweden soon...but is there Care jobs over there
And is it a most is through school route I must use to travel?
I love Sweden thanks for sharing gorgeous

I am one of new subscribers and I must confess that you are doing a great job. You videos have nice contents and the delivery is also very good. Well done Nnenna. 👍
Thank you Benjamin
Thanks for this insightful piece
Thanks for watching. You are welcome!
Let's say my husband gets a job in Sweden and move there, can I do my masters for free if I'm unemployed? or should I also get a job in order to study free?
Thank you for this. I am sure it will help some one. Well done.
Thank you Mama!
Did you find it very hard to get used to lack of sunlight or cold weather?
Hello, Yes, actually still adjusting, not sure it ever ends.......
Hello
Nice video. Very true. What city are you in? I live in Skovde, Vastra Gotaland.
Hi Chidozie. Thank you. I'm in Stockholm
Thank you for this Nnenna
Thank you for watching. You are welcome.
I'd say yes you can "survive" here without learning the language but it won't be as pleasant, since it's far more difficult making friends or getting a job. So if someone wants to live in Sweden and really be a part of Swedish society they do have to learn Swedish and learn a bit about social codes and culture, since they might accidentally come across as very rude making their life even more difficult.
I agree
You should record at 50 FPS (same as the electric grid in europe) to remove the light flickering.
Thanks for this.
I heard from someone you can’t a better job in Sweden if you can’t speak their language
I have a good job without the language. But Generally, it is good to learn the language to boost your chances
Okay thanks
Hi Nnenna, please can you help with application fees? I tried twice with my debit card but it wasn't successful. And I hear bank transfers are cumbersome. Please this is urgent as application deadline draws close. If you can help or know anyone that can help me pay the application fees from Sweden I'd really appreciate. Thanks ma'am
Awesome session sis..Can one come study a Masters program with my dependents coming alongside?
Yes you can
@@NnennaRG Appreciate Sis.

Iam interested in working in Sweden .Can I move with my family and what about the cost of school fees I have 2 kids and my husband is working in South Africa as a teacher and Iam currently working as a Community development Practitioner are there any opportunities for us.Please respond
Thank You Sharing this wonderful Tips. 😊
Thanks Chinboli and Happy birthday to you!
"Sweden has the best benefits in the world..." Indeed it has, and that's why people come here i droves as they know they can live off the taxpayers without lifting a finger to support themselves. There are, at present, almost one million people living as economic parasites in our country. That's the main reason our taxes are so high.
Heyy thanks for the video and I'm working on coming to sweden next year ❤❤❤❤❤
The 1st one does imply to a foreigner from Nigeria on s student visa?
Do I get to not pay my school fees after I start paying my tax maybe a year after being in the country. Pls explain., and how easy is getting a job
Thanks for the very insightful information. Cheers Nnenna

Very informative. Kudos Nnenna
Glad you like it.
Amazing content!
Thank you!
Fantastic video... My wife got PhD offer from sweden.. but are there accounting jobs dear
Congratulations. Finding a job is not easy anywhere, it largely depends on your skills experience and others, in the case of Sweden, language poses a kind of barrier to getting some kind of jobs.
Good morning Nnenna
I really enjoyed your video😊 thanks❤
Thanks Latika!
Hi Nnena can I come to Sweden with visit visa and change status while am in inside Sweden?
Hi Daniel, I have a video where I talked about ways of moving to Sweden. Please check it out.
Brilliant video. I'll share with those interested in moving to the EU; Sweden seems like a great option.
Thanks my man! I appreciate.
For economic parasites it is, indeed, "a great option."
Thank you Soo much Nnena , I am thinking of relocating to Europe and you did this video justice , you are a great ambassador
Oh wow, thanks Judy.
Nice one thanks for sharing, please will like to stay in Sweden permanently when i come on a vacation with my kids, how do i go about it, please help thanks.
Is your spouse in Sweden?
@@NnennaRG No
Sweden needs good working immigrants (like you!) and less economc migrants who come here to free loath & live off of our benefit-systen. Good on you! 😊
I am also planning to move to 🇸🇪..I am mobile technician,can I get job easily without knowing swedish?
@@Cheryminati5. Namaste! It depends, but i think (my personal guess) is that technician is one of those fields in which they are looking for people. And yes You can function in society solely by speaking English although to be honest I would recommend learning Swedish when living there. To connect better with colleagues etc on a deeper level. Check if you can find any ads in your field! Good luck!
@@Fistfury42 thanks William for replying me..so far all the video I have come across about Sweden 🇸🇪so far good.migrants are happy..I will try to find job if I cab I will definitely be moving to Sweden
Wow!!! Soo detailed. Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
Pls how can I school in Sweden ?
Hi Evelyn, please check out universityadmissions.se for different course, universities and tuition. that is where you start from.
👌👌👍
Thanks for watching!
is it easy to find job for mobile technician in Sweden?
Finding a job is not easy anywhere. you may need to do some independent research for this.
@@NnennaRG thank you for your reply..I guess for mobile technician must be easy if there are plenty of mobile repair shops
I HND please can I study in Sweden
I can confirm you can apply for Bsc, I can’t confirm for MSc. You may have to do a pre course which may be for two years. Unfortunately I do not have complete information about this.
@@NnennaRG thanks
Do you have an email I can reach you on please?
you can connect with me on instagram nnenna_rg
@@NnennaRG thank you.

Thank you.
Very educative video.
Keep it up nnenna!
Thank you! 😃
Brilliant Information ✊
Appreciate it!
Hej Nnenna RG !
Självklart ska du lära dig Svenska språket.
Det ett sätt att visa respekt för landet, för människorna, för kulturen.
Skål Tom.
Ja, jag lär mig prata svenska språket.
@@NnennaRG Ok bra. God fortsättning och gott nytt år, skål Tom.
Jag kan rekommendera fun Swedish på YT.

I have issues with school, how can you help in that area?
Please reach out on my other social media handle regarding this.
@@NnennaRG I will ask UZ I don't think it is here
@@erienoemmanuel1579 it's nnenna_rg on instagram
Thank you for this video. Very usefull :) After few researches, it looks like that this "free choices" ideology has an unfortunately "bad side of the coin". I say that because criminality is also very high and there is a lot of unsecurity in Sweden. At least according to my researches, and comparing with countries like France, England or Germany. What is your point of view about it ? Except that last point, this country sounds like the right place for me.
Hi Guillaume, glad you found this video useful. There is criminality in different parts of the world. But when you say "a lot of insecurity", this will be dependent on the country it is being compared to (like you pointed out). Personally, I have not experienced or heard about so many crimes since I got here. I have been out late nights severally without any issues. But again, this is based on my experience so far.
@@NnennaRG Hi, good point, I forgot to mention that I come from France. Thank you for your answer. Of course, it's always from our personnal experience, and so everyone can have a different opinion about the same place because everyone has his own experience.
I'm a Swede (but not living in Sweden, although my wife who is from a southern part of NG is... - anyway, it's complicated). Compared to many parts of Paris, criminality is low in Sweden. There's a great safety net, but it's also hardcore commercial outside of what's provided by the state - no minimum wage and other things (just wanted to dispel the myth that Swedish is somehow 'socialist'). And based on my experience from many other countries, I think that Sweden is striking almost the right balance (Denmark does it better, but not without issues).
@@NnennaRG There are some gangs that fight eachother - let them kill eachother, BUT day to day life in Sweden
is phenominal and has been for ages. I am Danish by the way, we're all much the same as Nordic people :-)
Hi nnenna
Hi Uche
@@NnennaRG hi nnenna am process my Sweden visa so I wanna know more about life over there and type of work there pls
Nice video about my country, thank you. But I must tell you that it can be hard to get a job if you don´t understand Swedish since all signs are in Swedish and many companys demand that you can speak and understand Swedish before employing you. So be prepared to struggle to find work.
True, generally, I have seen that a good knowledge of Swedish is a plus when it comes to finding a job. Some jobs too may not require Swedish especially IT related jobs. Thanks for your input.
Thank you for your content. What's the point of pointing out a country you are not from? When it comes to education.
is it easy staying back in 🇸🇪 after school, plus how is it with getting a job while schooling?
It is possible but not so convenient/easy to find
I moved about 15 years ago. It was like Britain as it was in the 1960s. Unfortunately it has almost caught up. The tax system is a disaster for the country's economy and desperately in need of reform. The health service has deteriorated in the period, with long times to wait for an appointment. Still, there is plenty of space and ticks all the boxes if you like outdoor activities, and public transport gives good coverage.
I suspect it would be hard to find employment if you were not fluent in the language, and even harder to find affordable housing.
Indeed, some of your points hold true depending on what country it is compared to. Each country has its peculiar challenges. This will be talked about in subsequent videos. Thanks for the engagement.
Sweden is very nice country 🥰
Yes it is.
What is your Instagram name
Can I have your email sis
You can reach me on Instagram nnenna_rg
Hi Nnenna , I am a student studying in Poland 🇵🇱 and the little challenge am having here is language barrier and I heard Sweden most everyone speak English. So I plan to relocate to Sweden once I get the right information and someone to guide me the step and know the best option will be easily for me to move ... Maybe if you can help me with your contact so we talk better
Hi Everest, you can reach out to me on Instagram. Even though most people communicate in English in Sweden, there is a language issue when talking about job search. It is mostly with tech jobs that you may not encounter issues with language.
@@NnennaRG Thanks for the quick response.. Please help me out with your Instagram id
@@everestjourney nnenna_rg
I have done that ... Looking forward for your response
