restrictions on non EU citizen to work in norway or sweden

restrictions on non EU citizen to work in norway or sweden?
I know that Norway isn´t part of the EU Sweden is, does anyone know of any restrictions for a non european to live and work in these countries? Obviously would need the relevant residency card I guess but would there be restrictions on getting that given that they are non european?

Basically immigration laws have tighted up generally over the last 5-10 years due to large influxes of immigrants and movements of people within the EU Therefore unless you hold an EU/EFTA passport it is very difficult. Yes Sweden is EU and Norway not, but Norway does have an agreement with EFTA/EEA member states to accomodate the same freedoms and similar policies with regarding to EU citizens seeking work and thus the restrictions are as (or even) more restrictive You will either need to be (a) self-employed and show evidence of a thiving business (b) a highly skilled migrant with skills/experience which are in demand in Europe (and usually already receiving a high salary in your domestic country) or (c) sponsored by a company - and this is only normally done in the case that they cannot fulfil the job from the pool of labour within the EU or that you have specialist knowledge/experience Also in principle you will need to speak the language of the country you work in (although there are exceptions to this if the company is an International one whose working language is e.g. English) There are small differences but there generally the policies are very similar and restrictive for all EU countries, but I do not know about the non-EU ones. The best thing to do in order to get accurate info including viability & time is to contact the embassy of the country you are interested in. They can provide you the official information (and often a lot of this is online e.g. for the UK and Netherlands it is anyway)

Ppl on student visas are allowed to work 20 hours a week. There might be some difficulty to get a job though since you don't speak Swedish but there are companies that takes in foreigners, ask ppl at the university, they'll be sure to know since you far from the only one who comes here.. sigh.. and we pay for it.. anyway they know where you should turn. Never heard of that university but it's probably really good.

What jobs are in demand in Sweden? Could I do international business there

What jobs are in demand in Sweden? Could I do international business there?
I'm an American majoring in business. I would like to leave the country and live and work in Sweden, or any other European country will do, but what jobs are in demand over there? Is doing international business and learning Swedish and then moving to Sweden a good idea? Would teaching English as a second language in Europe be a good option as well?

I don't know much about demand for international business in Sweden but I did teach English in Europe for quite some time. To put it bluntly it is pretty miserable, the pay is terrible, you spend most of your time going from one class to the next, commuting all over town, and working long hours. One thing is certain, learning Swedish will help you tremendously regardless of where you end up working. If you are dead set on Sweden start learning now! I guess you could try and see if there are any American businesses opening offices in Sweden or any English companies opening schools where you could grab a job first and then head over to Sweden.
