Since organising a move abroad can be complicated, we recommend professional help. At Flyttsmart.se, you can talk to a moving expert and get help arranging everything free of charge.

Make sure you have a valid passport and arrange a visa if you need one. Check what applies with the authorities in the country you are moving to or the country's nearest embassy.

If you plan to live abroad for a year or more, you must register your move with the Swedish Tax Agency. Use the form "Utlandsflytt", which you can find on the Swedish Tax Agency's website.

You also need to report your move to Försäkringskassan. Please note that there are different forms depending on why you are moving abroad (work, study, or other reasons). You can find the forms on Försäkringskassan's website.

If you are a pensioner, you must also report your move abroad to the Pensions Authority.

We recommend hiring a quality-assured moving company – preferably one that specialises in moving abroad. Managing the move and the move cleaning on your own is both heavy and time-consuming, but of course, not impossible.
