Since you have a Spanish work permit, I'm assuming you don't have citizenship with an EU country. In that case, you need a separate work permit from Sweden, which isn't easy to get. A company has to sponsor you and show that there were no sufficient applicants from within the EU, which means you need to be highly educated or do very specialized work. Permits can't be issued for odd jobs and general labor. http://migrationsverket.se/english/eat/index.html Being that it's so difficult to find odd jobs legally unless you at least speak Swedish well, your chance of finding one illegally is close to zero. There's no reason for a Swedish company/individual to take the risk of hiring illegally when there are plenty of EU immigrants already there looking for a job. I lived in Sweden (legally) for 2 years before I found work and know many others that have been in the same situation.
