If your brother seriously considers moving to Sweden, I would suggest that he makes that move soon. The longer he waits, the more things will hold him back in America. He will of course get more experienced with time, but one day he will find himself "stuck". It will also be easier for him to build a life here if he moves while still young. Anyhow, it is his decision and I wish him luck regardless of his choice.

I had to chuckle when you mentioned how Swedes like to speak English. Every one of my cousins and everyone I met in Sweden (when they found I was American) all wanted to speak English to keep up with their knowledge. I think I can honestly say I've spoken more Swedish in the US than in Sweden! lol

My wife's from China, we've been together for six years, living in Sweden. Her English has now a Swedish twang to it.

As a Canadian, I’ve always been a super fan of Sweden - and other likeminded advanced Nordic countries - and would live there in a heartbeat if I lived anywhere else.

Your brother could apply to a 1 or 2 year masters program in English, there are many in the Stockholm-Uppsala areas. Once in Sweden he can really look for work and settle down.

If you want your case to be prioritized and been waiting for more than four months you can submit a request to get a decision within four weeks.

Stefan, I dont know if you noticed it but you said the Swedish Word "Exakt" at 11:55 probably unknowingly. You know you lived a lot in Sweden when you starting to mix Swedish and English together without notice, haha!

Well, wouldn't that be fun...both Thyron bros. in Stockholm!! 🤔🤣 All the best, if that is what you wish for...but I'm partial being Danish. I adore Europe for all the same reasons..within an hour, you can be emersed in a different language, culture, food, weather..love it!! ❤ hello from Denmark 🌸🌱

My route has been through education. I came here for my MA at SU. I just finished, and I got an internship in March. They have just offered me a paid position, so they just need to prep the application for the visa before my student visa expires. Fortunately, the student visa allows you to work, you just have to be sure you prioritize your education and graduate. Also, as long as the new visa application is applied before the current one expires, I don't have to leave I can just continue working and getting paid while I wait on the visa approval.

I just got back from my first trip to Stockholm last week - I had a great time and I'm considering making the move so this video couldn't come at a better time 🙂

That would be nice. Welcome Christian. Always great videos on Stefan’s channel.😁

Thanks for sharing your experience! 😇

Visit the west coast of Sweden this summer (Västkusten - Such as: Smögen, Fjällbacka, Fiskebäckskil, Grebbestad etc...). The best part of Sweden (specifically during summer)! So beautiful

Välkommen!👍😃

I think coming to study here is one of the best way to move. I did an exchange in Uppsala in 2017, came back in 2020 for a master's in Lund, and now I applied for the Sambo residence permit :))

Salaries for the Swedish gym chains are shitty af. So def go for the private ones if you take that route!

Hi, just to make some quick clarifications: the reality in the tech industry or for tech adjacent jobs is significantly easier and quicker. Most of these companies have an agreement with MV which speeds up their applications. For example, I am from a low income non EU country, my work permit was approved in less than 10 days. This is because my company hires EY to do my paperwork for me and also have a special agreement with the Swedish gov. This is the reality for most of the large MNCs based on Stockholm. So keep that in mind. Process can be much quicker if you have a specific set of skills. Note: you don’t only have to be a programmer. I am not. But my job is very much in the tech space which played a massive role. :)

A third renewal on your permit? Isn't the second renewal tied to getting permanent residence?

Hi Stefan! I’ve been following you for years. I love your videos. I’m actually here in Stockholm right now. I have two questions for you: - Could you please share the list of labor shortage? I’d love to check it out. - Would you be up for a fika? I’m here through July 14th. Let me know.

Kommer du ansöka om svenskt medborgarskap? När isåfall?:)

You should probably have covered how to get hold of an apartment. I guess it's even harder in Stockholm than in other cities. :D

I work in a company in Stockholm. We have people there from all corners of the world. So we only speak english. All documents are in english. In fact, if i didnt speak english i wouldnt have got the jobb. I bet there are more companies here like this.

What about the Human Resources field? I didn't see that on the list, but it seems like it's potentially in-demand from some articles I've read. Any thoughts?

As a Swede I recommend Finland! (or Norway)! But I do think that learning Swedish or Norwegian must be the easiest languages for an American to learn.

I am an American who speaks German. My Swedish teachers are always telling me my Swedish has a German accent!

It can be an easier process for your brother since you live here, for example he can study her since his brother lives here

For a family trying to move to Sweden, it has been very hard to find jobs at Arbetsförmedlingen Platsbank. It seems like 80% or more of jobs are hired through staffing agencies. Should we just skip the Platsbank and send our resume in to every staffing agency instead? And is Duolingo level Swedish sufficient to get a job that requires knowledge of the language (seems like another 80% of them).

Hey there, I am an ELS teacher and also a Spanish native teacher, so if you need any help with Spanish do not hesitate to contact me. Love your videos.

Check Umeå universitet. The Universite of Umeå have a lot to offer,. I think one year studies would make a big difference.

One advantage a german-speaking person has over the others in learning swedish is the knowledge of the letters Ä and Ö because they are common letters in both languages.

Can someone post the link where they list the professions that are in shortage in Sweden?

Your sweet, cute brother should ABSOLUTELY move here :)

One thing I can not really let go is that your brother Christian (correct name? He is usually only mentioned as a brother 🙂) really has a, in my world, very typical American appearance 🙂. Unfortunately, I do not have any good tips to facilitate a move to Sweden other than to state that ordinary Swedes are more than happy to welcome people from all parts of the world as long as you want to be a part of and contribute to the country. After all, Sweden would not have achieved much of the welfare and success we had if it were not for labor immigration during the 50s and 60s. Personally, I wish it would be easier for individuals who are productive and want to create a life here to be able to do the same. Regarding the language, you are so many right, Swedes are generally good at English, we like to "practice" our own English with English speakers, which I imagine makes it more difficult to learn Swedish. I personally have friends who are stuck in English (they do not have English as a sign language) and to some extent I try to pressure them to speak Swedish and develop their Swedish skills. No matter how much I try to include them, they will never be as included with the language barrier. So learning Swedish in the long run will benefit the person well. Finally, if Christian wants to come to Sweden and enrich the country as Stefan and many others have done, I welcome you Christian with open arms and wish you best of luck.

I would love to move to America and I will definitely be looking for your help 🙈🙈🙈😂😂

Can you post the link to the list of "in-demand" jobs? I lived in Sweden for a few years in the 1990s but I never renewed by personnummer kort. Dumb move!

But is your first thought after you got surprised about something in English or Swedish . That is my way to see witch of your language is the dominant .

2 good looking young Thyron men in Stockholm? Yes mam

Hi brother så klart du ska flytta till sweden🌎✈️ta flyget landa här och det blir bra🍀🕷️

Remember Sweden is very cold in winter. We wait more than 8 months for a sumner which never come

are you going to aply for Swedish citicenship?

Allt är bra förrutom politkerna. Sjukaste jag varit med om sen jag fick börja rösta!

Did you complete Duolingo ?

If you what you have Hard Rock cafe in Stockholm they can take an only english speaking person .

What can you? We in our town serching lots of prossesion.

Getting a work visa with that background your brother have, licensed or not. I give him a slim chanse to become a swedish citizen. Maybe if he is a physioterapeth or any other skill in the nursing, medical sector he would stand a chanse. Because if you follow the news they are screaming after qualified people in that sector. As well as teaching like yourself and in engineering. If your in those three sectors you are moore then wolcome here. And what you also neglect to mention is that not all works are to be found in Stockholm. Now that Sweden are changing most of the heavy industry sweden are known for to a green envirement friendly industry. Like Nortvolt car batteries. And the whole process from mining to produce steel and other products that comes with that. Finding jobb will be easier in northern sweden. Like in cities such as, Skellefteå, Luleå, Boden, Gällivare and Kiruna. They have after all said they estimate they need to recriut 100000 new workers. For the common years. You should do a video about that instead. There are an woman from Washington D C that have moved especially to Luleå just to start recriut people for this enviroment change that will need so much people. The company she runs is called Linnea C Consulting AB.

You have now lived and worked in Sweden for so long that you can apply for Swedish citizenship 😝

Income tax is high in Sweden so the take home money is less

100

He shall move soon, befor he get to many comitments in USA! Native speaking english is a big advance.. especialy in Stockholm. One juste have to find that job, that fit ones education and there is a demand for native english speaker, and native to US cultur/society! Get him here, and find him a swedish girlfriend, then he is stuck, could be nice with a Thyron clan in Stockholm, you fit in!

Just a guess, the German will most likely make it easier learn swedish... Would be funny if he moved to Norway instead, 2*Thyrones..one Swedish one Norwegian :D

There is no minimum salary in Sweden.

And my brother moving to USA! Hm..

He can move to Danmark. We need all sorts of workers, from bin collector to brain surgeons.

Your brother shall be most welcome in scandinavia .. well ok he'll prob choose sweden BUT as a Dane i will not hold that against him ..... much :-)

Both boyz are hot! Actually all hot boys should move to Sweden (or Norway or Finland! Neither is actuyally a single meter from Sweden!)

the status of americans are very high in sweden so just of your american background you will probl get a better opportunity of getting a job

Buy an apartment is no another Way if have aford to .

is this the 3:d time i see you brothere here in sweden? u were from Washington state, portland or something? (writing on the fly, didn't check that) you are more Swedish than Swedish are, but not fully californian. yall fit in... u might be seen as left extremist by some and moderate for ignorant ppl :) but I, for my self, embrace som influence, but just not from one side. whats your bro's channel? words... check out the name, incorporated inte the english lingo "ombudsman" I had to sit down.. when I saw this.. "the ukrainian ombudsman" (some female name) resigned after lying about Russian atrocities ... it felt weird just the word "ombudsman" 'someone who represents you" IR .. layer? but ombudsman is abit wider.. i have no idea how the word made it internationally

... Stay in america

Why have you not seek Swedish citizenship when we have Double citizenship so not need to Let go of American citizen ship are Not need To seek new Work premisses are that not a choise ????? Or are that not can do that from American side ❓❓❓

1:03 i mean, if u really think about it, u guys are as much european as europeans itself by DNA, xddd

Jake and Logan Paul

Please check the data before sharing on Sweden/Stockholm producing highest volume of unicorn startups per capita. I’m pretty sure Estonia/Tallinn made more + there’s also Israel.

Would u consider moving to Sweden? Yes its a beautiful city! Lol So American..dont even know Sweden is a country.

Stefan, I love your videos. I just have a small suggestion. If you have a guest, please let him speak at least 50% of the time. All what you say is very interesting but if there is someone besides you it makes it look like a plant if they don’t have a time to speak and that’s really uncomfortable to see.

Try Skånsk instead of Spanish. 🤣

I live here and moving here is a terrible choice. Finland, Norway or Denmark would've been way safer. We are not allowed to talk about all of the gun violence, terrorists and criminals. Swedes tend to stick their heads in the sand and pretend they are the best people and the best country. Media also wants to portray this despite statistics showing Sweden being at the top on deadly gun violence in europe. You can google this yourself. These are real problems which our neighbour countries do not have. Guess some people will learn the hard way unfortunately.
