No, the requirements are not the same as Sweden; having a student visa does not necessarily entitle you to work in Denmark.
2 :
If you are not an EU Citizen, you will need a work permit. To get the work permit, your education has to be one of those, that are in demand in Denmark. There a not a lot of jobs available, so it is an almost impossible task at the moment. If you have a job at hand, it can help speed up the process with the permit. If yo do not speak Danish or fluent English, it will be even more difficult.

Do I have to pay US income tax if I am a US citizen married to a European living and working abroad
Do I have to pay US income tax if I am a US citizen married to a European living and working abroad?
If I am married to a Swedish citizen and am living and working in Sweden, do I pay US income tax? If so, how much? And how do I eventually stop? Would I have to renounce citizenship? We never plan on going back to the US. I have a Swedish personal number, i.e Swedish SSN. I won't be using my American SSN at all. My question is, how would they even know I was working here?

If you are a US citizen, you have to file a US return and report your income. Whether you would owe any tax is dependent on much info you did not provide. This will remain true as long as you are a citizen.
2 :
There is a certain amount of income that is exempt from taxation if you live abroad but you need to file. If you dont come back ever it would be hard for the irs to catch up with you.
3 :
As a citizen, you file a 1040, using forms 2555 and 1116 to limit the impact of double taxation. If you decide to renounce your citizenship, there is a form--and rules apply so that you can do it simply to avoid paying taxes.

The US is one of the few countries that taxes on the basis of citizenship rather than residence. In order to keep US workers abroad competitive with other international workers, it excludes from taxation a fixed amount of money earned abroad, known as the foreign earned income exclusion. For 2007, that amount was $85,700. That sum is free of US taxes. Anything beyond $85,700 is subject to US tax, unless you are paying taxes at an equal or higher rate elsewhere. If paying higher taxes abroad, you can use a foreign tax credit to offset your US tax liability. If there are low or no taxes overseas, then according to the law, the first dollar of compensation above $85,700 is taxed at the rate it would be taxed at as if the person were living in the United States. Previously it had been taxed as if it were the first dollar earned, at the lowest rate. One of the other posters suggest renouncing your US citizenship. Think about that long and hard before acting as there are far-reaching consequences. Section 349(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(5)) is the section of law that governs the ability of a US citizen to renounce his or her citizenship. That section of law provides for the loss of nationality by voluntarily performing the following act with the intent to relinquish his or her US nationality: "(5) making a formal renunciation of nationality before a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States in a foreign state , in such form as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State" A person wishing to renounce his or her US citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish US citizenship appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer, in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and sign an oath of renunciation Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Because of the provisions of section 349(a)(5), Americans cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the US. A person who wants to renounce US citizenship cannot decide to retain some of the privileges of citizenship, as this would be logically inconsistent with the concept of renunciation. Thus, such a person can be said to lack a full understanding of renouncing citizenship and/or lack the necessary intent to renounce citizenship, and the Department of State will not approve a loss of citizenship in such instances. Persons intending to renounce US citizenship should be aware that, unless they already possess a foreign nationality, they may be rendered stateless and, thus, lack the protection of any government. They may also have difficulty traveling as they may not be entitled to a passport from any country. Even if they were not stateless, they would still be required to obtain a visa to travel to the United States, or show that they are eligible for admission pursuant to the terms of the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP). If found ineligible for a visa or the VWPP to come to the U.S., a renunciant, under certain circumstances, could be barred from entering the United States. Nonetheless, renunciation of U.S. citizenship may not prevent a foreign country from deporting that individual back to the US in some non-citizen status. Also, persons who wish to renounce US citizenship should also be aware that the fact that a person has renounced U.S. citizenship may have NO EFFECT whatsoever on his or her US tax or military service obligations. In addition, the act of renouncing US citizenship will not allow persons to avoid possible prosecution for crimes which they may have committed in the US, or escape the repayment of financial obligations previously incurred in the US or incurred as US citizens abroad. Hope this helps a bit.

The right wing myth that the "poor" just want to take from the wealthy.

That's why the right hate Obama so much, because he isn't "one of us". It's not socialism it's true equality of opportunity. One thing that the countries you mention have is social mobility and that's one thing that's being stifled in the US. The myth that it's because of the homogeneous populations is just that a myth!

Is it possible to be a vegan in Sweden
Is it possible to be a vegan in Sweden?
I am going to vegan as an exchange student in a few months. I am a vegan and I am hoping that a host family there could work with this diet. Is Sweden a country that has vegan good options?

Yes Sweden is a good country for vegans and the food is good. You have to talk with your host family about this, I´m quite sure they understand. Vegan food is a little bit more expensive than ordinary food. I´m not from Sweden, but the neighbour country Finland, and in both the countries we like vegan food more and more. Good luck with your host family and I hope you will enjoy your stay in Sweden.

Absolutely! Do you know what town you are staying in? I might give you directions to a local vegan food place.
6 :
"Good" depends on what you are used to here. Do not expect any soy or other TVP products in grocery stores; you can find straight tofu at Asian markets and occasionally veggie burgers in organic shops, but expect them to cost 2-3 times as much as in the States. About the only vegan food you will be able to find in supermarkets is bread (depending on how strict you are) and fruits and vegetables. In the winter, the variety of fruits and vegetables is pretty awful compared to the US and they often look pretty anemic. It is also next to impossible to find beans, straight-up nuts, and peanut butter. Do not expect that many people know what veganism is, despite a recent interest in eating less meat. I have never seen anything labeled "vegan" in Europe (England doesn't count). One friend who is a strict vegetarian recently inquired at a restaurant if one particular dish was vegetarian; the restaurant said it was, and the dish arrived, filled with bacon. Gelatin is also considered vegetarian by most Europeans as well. Eggs and white sugar are in almost everything, too. If you can gradually work your way up to eating dairy and eggs, that will help out a lot, but even then, it's almost impossible to not somehow have some sort of animal byproduct slipped in from time to time anyway.
7 :
You already asked this EXACT question (word for word), and you already recieved a whole bunch of answers to the same effect as this one ... do think if you ask it again the answers will somehow be different when they all say the exact same thing. You can be a Vegan just as easily in Sweden as you can anywhere else in the Western world ... it won't be a problem for you anymore than anywhere else. As for the respondant right before me ... Swedes know what a vegitarian is. Holy crap ... where do you live? I knew quite a few Scandinavians that were vegitarians. They also know the difference between a vegitarian and a vegan, and there are stores that sell products specifically for vegans in any town with more than 30,000 people. Even the local neighborhood COOP I used to shop at (that was very small even by European standards) had vegitarian and vegan products (not a wide selection, but they had them). I guess what I'm trying to say is I've lived in Sweden for five years, and I find your answer to be completely wrong. In fact, I find it completely wrong for just about every country I've been to in Europe.

Answering this backwards: Easier (less packing) to buy them here. I've moved internationally with small children before, the less you bring the easier it is to get set up. Also, most of my friends who bought things over when they moved were prepared for a North Pole expedition, but the weather in Stockholm even in January is substantially milder than most people expect. You'll have more idea _what_ to buy once you're here. If your swedish is up to it, you used to be able to run a budget at 'Konsumentverket' (basically the Swedish department of Consumer Affairs) based on what the government thinks is reasonable, but they've closed it down, although you can download the figures here: http://www.konsumentverket.se/Documents/bock_bro_fold/koll_pa_pengarna_2007.pdf A swedish bank (Nordea) still has theirs available though, and it's based also on Konsumentverket's figures. http://www2.capitex.se/nordea/hbudget/index.asp In case you I took the liberty of doing one for you, based on two adults aged 30, a 2yo, and 10k SEK a month rent, and the calculated figures for other living costs are as follows: Groceries: Food (livsmedel): 3570 Hobbies (Lek & Fritid): 1080 Clothes/Shoes (Kläder, skor): 1370 Groceries: Hygiene (hygien): 980 (I guess this includes laundry and things like that) Household wares (Möbler, husgeråd): 730 All figures in SEK.

If your swedish is up to it, you used to be able to run a budget at 'Konsumentverket' (basically the Swedish department of Consumer Affairs) based on what the government thinks is reasonable, but they've closed it down, although you can download the figures here: http://www.konsumentverket.se/Documents/bock_bro_fold/koll_pa_pengarna_2007.pdf A swedish bank (Nordea) still has theirs available though, and it's based also on Konsumentverket's figures. http://www2.capitex.se/nordea/hbudget/index.asp In case you I took the liberty of doing one for you, based on two adults aged 30, a 2yo, and 10k SEK a month rent, and the calculated figures for other living costs are as follows: Groceries: Food (livsmedel): 3570 Hobbies (Lek & Fritid): 1080 Clothes/Shoes (Kläder, skor): 1370 Groceries: Hygiene (hygien): 980 (I guess this includes laundry and things like that) Household wares (Möbler, husgeråd): 730 All figures in SEK.

How much money will I need to live in Sundsvall Sweden for a year without working
How much money will I need to live in Sundsvall Sweden for a year without working?
I want to move to Sundsvall, Sweden from the United Kingdom and I am wondering how much money I need for a year without work. I am planning on getting a 1 bedroom flat. need to pay for food, bills and rent and things for my self (within reason of course). Any help given in £ will be great ^^. Thanks to all those that answer me :)

I did a flat check for Sundsvall on the Swedish site blocket: http://www.blocket.se Everything is in Swedish, but if you want to check it yourself, choose Västernorrland, then Lägenheter, Uthyres, and put Min/Max antal rum to 2 (2 rooms=1 bedroom in Sweden). Prices range 3500-6000kr, with an average of 4500kr. There is no council tax. A 100mb internet connection + telephone can be found for under 300kr. If you want cable television, add another 300kr/month and about 2000kr/year for a television licence. http://www.bredbandsbolaget.se/wps/portal/privat/bredband?page=new&WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/wps/wcm/connect/b2/privat/bredband/bredband100_lan Utility bills have gone up since I last lived there, but in previous years they averaged about 600kr/month for a 1-bedroom flat. 1000/month should be a safe budget. 2000kr should be enough for food shopping, it depends on your habits. About 500kr for a transportation card. 2000+ for personal expenses. So, my estimate is minimum 11000kr/month to live comfortably enough. That's about £850, or £10200/year. You'll probably need a bit extra to get started, since you'll most likely have to furnish the flat yourself. Ads that say möblerad are furnished, omöblerad are not. Blocket is a good place to find cheap (used) furniture, or you can do what the students do and take a trip to IKEA.

So is socialism still working anywhere? Sweden? Norway
So is socialism still working anywhere? Sweden? Norway?
Will leftists still say socialism is working in Norway (a major North Sea oil exporter) or Sweden (a major arms supplier)? What will they say if Norway or Sweden goes broke like Greece?

China, Japan, or Sweden. Where to live and work
China, Japan, or Sweden. Where to live and work?
Hi everyone! Well I started to look at China and Chinese and kinda like the country and the language. But I also LOVE the culture and language of Japan. Yet I also like Sweden in terms of work and education... So I have a few questions... -Which language is better used for the future in business or general usefulness? -Which country would be more "Fun" and exciting to live in? -Which language is harder to learn, and yes I mean also learning the Kanji, not just Romaji or Pinyin. -Do you need to learn Swedish to live in Sweden? I mean do you really use it everyday? Because I would be very happy to learn it, but I don't want to learn Swedish for nothing ^-^ I might add more later :) Cheers! 良ã„ä¸€æ—¥ã‚’ï¼ æœ‰ä¸€ä¸ªæ„‰å¿«çš„ä¸€å¤©ï¼ Ha en trevlig dag! Havu bonan tagon! -If I were to learn Chinese, should it be Cantonese or Mandarin? And should I learn to write in Chinese Traditional or Simplified Hans?

I think Sweden would be more easy for you, due to the culture and that a lot of people speak English. It's easy to survive with English, however I think that no matter where you go, you should learn some of the language they speak. By that you're showing respect. Also it would be easier to get friends and understand things on the street, tv and so on. How fun is it to watch TV if you can't understand anything of what they're saying? How fun is it to have Swedish friends those times when they speak in Swedish, making you an outsider? You do use Swedish everyday. I never speak English, except in situations when I have to... which I kind of avoid. If you want a language that is good for business and communicating with a lot of people, then I guess Swedish isn't a particularly good choice in comparison. Although I must say that Asians CAN be negative about foreigners speaking their language... And that should be more so when it comes to business/work. Swedish is also a more rare language to learn, I think that makes us more accepting and tolerant... you're just not another beginner and foreigner, one of the crowd. You're more unique and special. But this is just what I think... But I'm not telling you to learn Swedish. That is something you should decide on your own... follow your heart! *stupid smile*. I guess Chinese would be a pretty good choice though :( *frowns* Ha en trevlig dag du med! ;)

It's my impression that if you want to live and/or work in Sweden, the swedish government will make you learn the language (and I don't blame them). They will organize it for you, but I don't know if they wil pay for it all. As to chinese, you do realise that its one written language but several dozen spoken ones?

PRO-SOCIALISM ANSWERS ONLY. I'm writing an essay and it must prove why socialism is GOOD in Sweden. I could some help. 5 stars for best answer

1 :
Actually, the Swedes have abandoned it. Sorry, it's a difficult essay topic because the pro arguments aren't very good. But you could point out that Sweden was pretty prosperous when it did have democratic socialism.
2 :
Gini coefficient is very low (weath is distributed properly). Human Development Index is high (Well developed country). Average income around $45K annually, since gini is low its a good approximation to everyone in the country. While the socialist party is no longer in power, their government is socialist as rules can't just be undone. Decades of socialism will result in a long period of time before anything chages. Taxation is about 50% of income. So if you make $1000 after taxes you only get half. 13.4% are immigrants, signaling a healthy and prosperous economy. School is free including university, this helps in equalizing opportunities. Sweden has long been at the forefront of research and development, even though its only a few million people. Sweden ranked either as the first or second country publishing the highest number of scientific publications in the fields of medical science, natural science and engineering in 2001. Healthcare is free. Life expectancy is high. When you consider the size of Sweden vs its accomplishments and position at the world wide scale, it is clear that socialism has made this possible as it allowed a capitalist system to be in place, but the wealth distribution to be more equalized, and gives everyone an opportunity at university and higher education.

what do I need to work in Germany if I have a polish girlfriend
what do I need to work in Germany if I have a polish girlfriend?

Yes you can get a resident and work permit for Germany, but it is very very difficult. You'd need to have a qualification that is very much in demand such as engineer or computer specialist. Bachelor is usually the minimum requirement. You have first have to find a job in Germany, then you need to apply for special skilled migrant visa at the German embassy in your country of residence. If you are serious about your girlfriend consider to get married, as marriage would give you the automatic right to live with her in Germany and also give you the right to a work permit. Another option you should look at is a job in Spain. The Spanish authorities actively recruit young university graduates and skilled workers from Mexico, once you have been working in Spain for a few years it will be a lot easier get a residency and work permit for Germany. (There are special EU regulations that make it easier to get a residency and work permit for one EU state if you have held a residency and work permit for another EU country for a certain time already.) Plus is also that your girlfriend is allowed to work and live in Spain without a residency or work permit and Spain is much closer to Germany than Mexico.

Would Democratic Socialism work in America now
Would Democratic Socialism work in America now?
This is not a question based on your political beliefs and opinions but a factual question. Would Democratic Socialism, in a country like Sweden, would it work in America today? Why and why not? *Facepalm* Democratic Socialism is a path of Socialism not from the Democratic party...... I am not saying that I would like this sort of government implented in America but I was merely asking if this type of political system could be sustained. Xan I like your philosophy.

will american lamps work in europe
will american lamps work in europe?
would like to buy a lamp from Crate and Barrel. Would it work in Sweden? I know the US has 110V, and we use 230V. I know some electronics can handle a range of volts, for example my laptop can handle 100-240V so it works in Europe and the US as long as i convert the actual plug, but I dont have to convert the power. Would this be true for some lamps as well? And if the lamp can only handle 110V, can I just use a transformer to convert 230V down to 110V? ...and what about the hertz?

You may just need to change the plug. At work we convert European to American by just changing plug you may also need to change socket but it will be cheaper than a converter.
3 :
The lamp is o.k., the bulp however (110 Volts), will produce a bright light, but only for a couple of seconds/minutes, then it will quit the service (broken filament). Just buy a european 230 volts bulb and use it with your lamp. Regular bulps have the same fittings. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotodesign-luetke/2278501483/ Furthermore you need a plug-adapter, since Swedish plug/sockets look like that. http://kropla.com/!f.htm

My friend brought a lamp from the states to Europe and just had someone change the plug for her. I brought a vhs recorder years ago and had a electrician neighbor fix it for me to work over here in Europe. We also brought a converter over from the states that works for small appliances.

Regular bulps have the same fittings. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotodesign-luetke/2278501483/ Furthermore you need a plug-adapter, since Swedish plug/sockets look like that. http://kropla.com/!f.htm

My friend brought a lamp from the states to Europe and just had someone change the plug for her. I brought a vhs recorder years ago and had a electrician neighbor fix it for me to work over here in Europe. We also brought a converter over from the states that works for small appliances.

I have recieves my work permit and my invitation letter from China and
I have recieves my work permit and my invitation letter from China and?
I am working in Sweden atm and will go back to Australia for two months before i go to china to work. According to the chinese employer, they said that i cannot apply for the Z visa in Sweden and must go back to Australia to apply for the Z visa as the docs have been forwarded to the consulate in Sydney. I dont think this is correct?????because it is to my understanding that as long as you have the permit and letter you can apply for the visa at any chinese consulate regardless of the country?

I agree you should be able to apply in any Chinese embassy. You will not get your Z visa until you have a body check in China. I tried to get my check up in the US but China said I had to do it in China. A Z visa is good it is a multi entry visa and has almost no restrictions. Some business Visa's require you to leave China every 60 days for 24 hours then return. You must remember China has it's own rules and they don't bend much, if they say you must return to your homeland then apply you will need to do so. I'm guessing you will teach English as I did and I had a wonderful time. Good Luck.
2 :
Your letter of invitation/application (from your Chinese employers) must state where you are to apply from. A former employer of mine had to specify the Hong Kong consulate for a fellow foriegn teacher to get his Z visa there. What "permit" are you talking about? All you need to apply for a Z visa is an invitation letter/contract. No "permits" are issued before you have these. email me if you need any help/advice.

sweden immigration, new law
sweden immigration, new law
what about the new immigration law proposed in sweden by the immigration minister tobias billstrom? It says, starting from mid december non EU citizens can be free to work in sweden provided they have an employment offer. I am already in Germany. My girlfriend is a swede who is returning back to sweden. I would like to join her. But need a job to live. Say if I go the following way. Being a resident of schengen state, I can freely travel to sweden. find a job in some shop or retail or restaurent. Ask the business owner to fill the form. Take the form with me to germany and apply for a residence permit. Will it work. I dont fit into skilled category. Does this new law apply to skilled candidates? or more open even towards not so skilled candidates.

After approval from the Public Employment Service, your employer must send the form to you so that you can enclose it with your application. (Your employer must guarantee you pay, insurance coverage and other terms of employment equal to at least the collective agreement or Swedish practice in the profession or the branch of trade. Accommodation must have been arranged for you in Sweden.

I would give it a shot. They're proposing for this law to change December 15th and they say that it will be up to the employer to decide if they feel they cannot find people with the right skills to fill a position at their company. The idea of the proposition, however, is that if employers cannot find people with certain skills within the EU they can look outside. This will probably mean you are looking more at people with specialised skills or educations, but give it a go. Just keep a plan B in the back of your mind.

Be aware the the Work visa (HB1 visas) are only for occupations in which there is a shortage, typically nursing and doctors and you are fully sponsored by a certified and legal medical institution and yuo have met all the medical/board certifications to practice medicine in USA. The other work visas are when someone in the US has already offered you a job and is willing to fully sponsor you. They have to be a legal bussiness, not a friend of a relative.

Basically it is illegal to work in Sweden (or any other country) while you're there on a tourist visa. If your wife does this, then she might be arrested, put in jail for a while and eventually be deported out of the country without having the possibility of coming back. It might look as a hole in the system when someone can work there without the proper visa but if they do, they also have to live with the consequenses.
3 :
You are not allowed to work with a tourist visa, and if you want a work permit you have to go back to your own country first to apply for it. Probably you won't get it, because it's extremely difficult to move to Sweden without being a refugee or having very close family already in Sweden, for example if you marry a Swedish resident.
My wife obtained a visa from the swedish embassy {tourist} she is thai and intended to work in sweden had verry little money should have had permission from me and could have worked as a prostitute I would think that there is a big hole in the system wouldnt everybody?

well u should speak the language yes if u arent going to work as a cleaner or dishboy.

You will find a lot of the things you need to know at this website: (its in English) http://www.sweden.se/templates/cs/Frontpage.aspx?id=1898 In Sweden they learn English in school (mandatory) from the age of 8 or 9 and most people speak fluent English. You'll also find that even some commercial or ads are in English in Sweden. You will get around just fine with English but you'll need to speak the language to get a decent job. Finding a low-key job as a dishwasher, bartender, cleaner etc shouldn't be to hard. Take a Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) course at the nearest school, courses are free of charge.

Living and Working in Sweden
Living and Working in Sweden.?
Hey, I would like to move to Sweden, and I am currently living in the UK (London). I am a chartered accountant and graduated from university specialized in IT. I have also studied Swedish and have past my exams. So my question(s) is How do I get the right to live in Sweden and work there as well. And also how much does an Chartered Accountant earn average (if you don't know no need to answer). How much is a 2/3 bedroom house (SEK/Pounds) in central Stockholm as that is where I am planning to live. Is Stockholm a great place to live in (be honest please as this can change my mind). Do I need to retake exams to drive a car in Sweden as I have already qualified for a full licensee here in the UK. Is Sweden expensive compared to the UK (optional) Has Sweden got a great late night parties? Thanks this is all I can think of at the moment and I greatly appreciate it if you can answer my questions (not all). I have done research but I want to hear it from a different person/point of view. Best answer gets the highest point even though I appreciate for taking time to answer my question Serious answers please this could be life changing! Thank you again for taking your precious time to answer my question, very much Love from the UK!

Ett hus i Stockholm kommer att kosta dig jävligt mycke. Men är du säker på att du vill flytta till Stockholm? Jag själv bor i Värmland men från vad jag har hört så är Stockholm inte direkt den finaste staden i Sverige. Och ja, många bra fester inne i stan i Stockholm. Nej Sverige är inte så dyrt, de flesta norrmän kommer faktiskt över gränsen bara för att kunna köpa saker billigare. Förlåt att jag inte kunde vara till sådan stor hjälp, men det är något iallafall tänkte jag :) Edit: Xav has obviously been smoking something, just ignore him.

If you're male forget it. Sweden is a feminist country that heavily favours women in the workplace, and if you have sex and the condom breaks you can be arrested for rape (seriously).

I read their really dumb people in that country and they give free social services to everybody. Go there and you don't need to work anymore in your life.

Of course, except now is not the time to be looking for jobs in Sweden/Europe. The recession has hit Europe hard too. Some of the large American companies in Sweden are IBM and GM (Saab). Incidentally Volvo is owned by Ford (for now). There are lots of technology companies represented in Sweden. From Microsoft to medicines. I wonder what you really want with this information? Working in Sweden requires a work permit and visa. If you want to transfer to an American company in Sweden it will only happen from within the company. And they don't do a lot of that because of the cost and paperwork involved. They would only do that if they really wanted/needed you. You would need a lot of experience. And not least would you need to speak the local language *fluently* to be of any real use.

Having been to Sweden, I can confirm that the average Swede lives with a much higher quality of life than the typical American. You get what you pay for.
3 :
in sweden they actually get results for their tax dollars. there are not many conservatives to water everything down or outright destroy things like we have here.
4 :
The Vikings were hard workers to begin with, plus they luckily didn't get as tainted with the whole religious movement. They were a society of warriors and hardworking individuals who prided themselves in what they did. That's bottom line the answer to their success. But like C White said, you hardly see a Swede with 3 cars and two houses like Americans have.
5 :
I've been to Sweden and I know many Swedes. Here's the stunner: the Swedish people I know enjoy their jobs and simply care about being productive members of society. They pay high taxes because they get many good services from their government.
6 :
The key is that they actually work. Here we have a whole segment(millions) of society who are leeches and don't want to contribute..
7 :
Most of them work, so they get the Tax they pay to work for them. Look at the average wage there, quality of life, immigration control and the benefits the workers get. Mass employment really does work and respect for all careers. That could be why such a small country does so well. Greed comes from taking something from another. No sweat shops so you can buy a cheap shirt, no whipping the pot wash because they are poor, as you don't pay them much. I would go for mass employment any day.
8 :
We work so we can pay taxes of course. ;) Actually, work can be quite fun and you have to do something in life, otherwise you'll be bored. I would never want to live off other people's tax money unless I have to. Being unemployed makes you feel like you're a burden, as if you're not doing anything meaningful in life. I think that's actually much worse than the economical disadvantage of being unemployed, but not all Swedes would agree with me. Many Swedes only work for the money too. I don't mind paying taxes since I don't really need that money anyway. When you have enough money to live a comfortable life, more money won't make you happier. And we DO get most of it back, the benefits of living in a welfare-state are worth paying for. Even if I would end up paying more taxes than I get back, I will still believe that my money was used for good purposes. It's like an insurance, it's good to have one if you need it, and if you don't, then at least you've helped somebody else.
9 :
Like Vendelay says, most Swedes are content with paying their taxes because we are made aware of, or take an interest in, what we actually get out of the taxes: virtually free health care, free education including at University level, lots of foreign aid, a good welfare system, police and rescue services, a high proportion of foreign aid and a very low proportion of defence and armed forces costs. There are probably other innumerable things I've forgotten to mention. If you're a wage earner, you can't do much to avoid paying taxes, and you probably won't want to work more than 40 hours/week even if you could, because you wouldn't have time to enjoy life. Businesses and the self-employed may be more motivated by greed, and they are also the ones with the most opportunities to cheat. With the ridiculously high tax rates of the 70s, everyone but the poor wanted to avoid or evade taxes, legally or otherwise, but things have changed, and with a reformed tax system and a few years of conservative rule, only a small number of extremely wealthy Swedes need go into tax exile. The general idea now is that it should be worth your while making money, and the tax rate should be bearable. That way, people will be less likely to try and cheat and more willing to pay their taxes, and the economy will improve.

Happy? Check this out: A bursting real estate bubble caused by inadequate controls on lending combined with an international recession and a policy switch from anti-unemployment policies to anti-inflationary policies resulted in a fiscal crisis in the early 1990s. In 1992, there was a run on the currency, with the central bank briefly jacking up interest to 500%. The response of the government was to cut spending and institute a multitude of reforms to improve Sweden's competitiveness, among them reducing the welfare state and privatizing public services and goods. ************************************ sound familiar at all? ************************************ Since the late 1960s, Sweden has had the highest tax quota (as percentage of GDP) in the industrialized world, although today the gap has narrowed and Denmark has surpassed Sweden as the most heavily taxed country among developed countries. Sweden has a two step progressive tax scale with a municipal income tax of about 30% and an additional high-income state tax of 20–25% when a salary exceeds roughly 320,000 SEK per year. Payroll taxes amount to 32%. In addition, a national VAT of 25% is added to many things bought by private citizens, with the exception of food (12% VAT), transportation, and books (6% VAT). *************************************** VAT anyone? *************************************** Eighty percent of the workforce is organized through the trade-unions Sweden have a relatively high amount of sick leave per worker in OECD: the average worker loses 24 days due to sickness. Now that's a LOT of sick! 5 weeks a year? Happy? Doubtful they are that happy. Between Jake's stat on paid vacation days, and this stat for sick days, that's almost 3 months out of the year these bums do not have to work! lol Having 60% of my income taken from me, would stress me out. I am guessing that soon enough Sweden will go the way of Greece.

Hi I'm looking to work in Sweden at the continental markets for 2 months. We have an australian BBQ (but are based in the UK) and we sell kangaroo burgers and wild boar burgers. Does anyone know anywhere in or near to Sweden that sell Kangaroo burgers? We can take them over ourselves, but it's a whole lot easier if we can get them over there instead!

Hi I'm looking to work in Sweden at the continental markets for 2 months. We have an australian BBQ (but are based in the UK) and we sell kangaroo burgers and wild boar burgers. Does anyone know anywhere in or near to Sweden that sell Kangaroo burgers? We can take them over ourselves, but it's a whole lot easier if we can get them over there instead! Thanks for any help to this strange question! Thanks - but they are in China & Japan - I'm looking for someone in Sweden

Which place is better to work? Denmark, Norway or Sweden

Typically, from an average pay to worth ratio, Denmark is the most expensive, with Sweden the least, though Norway is only a tiny bit less expensive than Denmark so the difference would be negligible between the two. Norway has the highest pay, then Denmark, then Sweden. Denmark has the highest taxes, then Norway, then Sweden. Though they are all a lot higher than pretty much anywhere else in the world. In terms of quality of living they are all very interesting countries with a high standard of living, with Norway ranking 1st on HDI, I can't remember off the top of my head where Denmark and Sweden sit, but they are also both equally high. The countries have all consistently ranked in the best to live in, and they have all been ranked as some of the happiest places to live. I hope that puts it into a bit of perspective for you. To most people, particularly people moving there, or looking at them from the outside, the differences between the countries are very small and not as noticeable as they are overall, since all of them are so different to what most people are used to in their own countries.

Salary is higher in Denmark and Norway than in Sweden, though whether Denmark or Norway is higher depends on the field. As an example, you ask about Swedish pharmacist salaries in another question. A pharmacist in Norway can earn from 10000 kr (SEK) more in Norway, up to double wage for management positions. Average salaries for Danish pharmacists are similar to Norwegian, but slightly lower (following links are in Norwegian/Danish, but are the only ones I could find). http://www.farmaceutene.no/id/2072 http://www.ug.dk/job/ingenioerteknikognaturvid/medicoarb/farmaceut.aspx Taxes are complicated and based on marginal rates (the income you earn above a certain level is taxed at a higher rate than the income below that level). To simplify, your take-home pay will be the highest percentage of your earned wage in Sweden (and least in Denmark). However, you'll still generally earn a larger amount after tax in Norway. This report is very helpful in explaining cost of living in the 3 countries: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Price_levels_of_consumer_goods_and_services Denmark is ranked most expensive in Europe, but it ranks this highly due to the cost of fuel/electricity and personal transport. In all other categories (food/alcohol, public transport, consumer goods), Norway is more expensive. Sweden ranks between Luxembourg and France, with lower costs than those in furniture (no surprise) and high tech, but higher in most everything else. Denmark and Norway rank in the highest group of GDP per head, and Sweden in the 2nd group. However, all 3 rank in the highest group for price levels. http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/product_details/publication?p_product_code=KS-BE-06-002 Affordability is impossible to say without knowing your personal standard of living. If you live comfortably but economically in Norway, you will have one of the highest discretionary incomes in Europe on an average salary (but you can earn more in very high-income jobs in other countries outside of Scandinavia). The same salary in all 3 countries will afford you the highest standard of living in Sweden, but that can't be used to compare since your salary will almost always be higher in the other 2. All three countries have similar benefits. One thing to consider is that economic problems have hit Sweden the hardest. I found a few articles that said graduate pharmacists are taking lower-paying jobs as dispensers since they can't find work. Norway is lacking health care professionals, specifically pharmacists according to some news articles. This one states that pharmacies are travelling as far as Poland in search for employees to fill positions. http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/distrikt/ostafjells/buskerud/1.6911196 My economic knowledge on Denmark isn't as good compared to Sweden/Norway, as I haven't lived there.

How can I purchase Work Permit from the Employers/Recruiters in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Sweden?

There are multiple problems with this plan: -All of these countries are in the EU, which means they are required to follow EU rules for hiring foreign workers. An employer has to submit proof that they followed protocol in hiring you. -Work permits can only be given for highly skilled work, when no EU/EEA applicants qualify for the job. In addition, most jobs require good knowledge of the local language. -Thus, if you don't have the education/experience proof to back up a highly-skilled job, an offer letter is meaningless. -A work permit is only valid for the particular job/company that is sponsoring you. This means you can't buy a permit, then find a job with another company. If you lose your job with that company, you legally have no right to stay in the country. You also have no rights in that country, like health care. -No employer will risk hiring illegally (or writing offer letters for money), when there are plenty of legal applicants. The company faces fines or worse if caught.

The statutory retirement age in Sweden is 67. You can't receive your pension before age 61 though, and most people retire at age 65. 65 is the age from which you can collect a state-guaranteed minimum pension. http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2001/03/feature/se0103186f.htm http://www.pensionsmyndigheten.se/WhenYouRetire_en.html http://www.sweden.se/eng/Home/Society/Pensions/ People currently cannot work beyond retirement age, though some people want to.

You don't give any details of your nationality and in which case it makes it nigh impossible to answer your question. If you hold an EU passport then in principle you are free to move to these countries under the EU/EEA agreements, and then seek work. However, if you are non-EU/EEA, then you will need a visa and/or residence permit and/or a work permit, and these are not easy to obtain. In principle, you must demonstrate skills that make you unique. The company must apply for a work permit on your behalf and will only receive it IF they can prove that the position mentioned is one that cannot be fulilled by anyone from the pool of labour in the EU/EEA. Therefore working in a hotel and on commerical boats in catering and service - well I am afraid that you will not get a permit for this realistically. Hard to give more info as the info you gave is too limited Sorry
