Re: First post - moving to Sweden
One thing you will really need to look into is whether or not to register for residence.
As it could have detrimental effects either way.
Obviously I can't advise on either as there could be legal ramifications.
The positive for registering :
Personal Number (its needed for everything in Sweden, and without it your not really part of society) Healthcare, Social Welfare, Reduced medicine costs, purchasing items, utilities, bank accounts etc.
The UK may be leaving the EU, and if that was to happen in the near future it could hamper any future in Sweden if you are not registered prior.
The Negative for registering :
Taxes - you could find yourself unable to continue in your occupation as the overhead costs and related taxes are too high.
You could find yourself in a legal predicament if you stay for more than 179 days and receiving payment from within the EU without declaring it.
You would have zero rights to most services, and you could find yourself isolated or powerless. Creating a sense of indifference.
