cool your from sweden. im swedish but not from sweden. my grandpa came here from sweden when he was 17. i have no idea what you would need to do. i would say call the us embasssy or something. buy he if you wanna chat im me.
2 :
Contact the Swedish embassy. I don't know if they'll allow dual citizenship. However, why do you need a Swedish passport? You can use your American one and still work in Sweden.
3 :
Is your mom's swedish citizenship active? If yes, she needs to apply with the swedish embassy for swedish citizenship for you. They have a process called notification. She needs to prove her citizenship and your birth.
4 :
Well,try going to an embassy.they might give it to you if you have a sweedish nationality from your mother.

Why are you obsessed with Scandinavia???

The new Christian Rightwing government has a motto they work from: Freiheit durch Arbeit. It tells all you have to know why you have to work in Sweden. Without a job you will not have any freedom so simple is that.

Volunteering/Working programs in Sweden/Norway
Volunteering/Working programs in Sweden/Norway?
I'm very interested in the cultures of these two countries and I'm looking for programs that I can join. I don't really care for what I volunteer to do, I just want to get over there and learn more. Also, I'm searching for programs that will provide board for me for the work I can provide. Does anyone know anything about this, or can lead me in a direction to accomplish this? Links or tips/past experiences will be fine as well. Thank you :)

Are you sure that you are heading into the right directions for " voluntering/work" About you want to work and live in this places then, just arrive there and go into any jobcenter, maybe they will have something for you

From your other questions, it looks like you're American? Just so you're aware, you're limited to 90 days out of every 180 days in the Schengen area (including Sweden and Norway). You're also not supposed to work during this time, though volunteering is in a grey area. Sweden does count room/board as payment, though farms may not care because they're not officially hiring employees. Most volunteer programs require you to pay your own way, but there are a few that provide room and board. WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is one of these. You have to pay a small fee to access a country's list of farms, then you contact the farms yourself. You should research people's experiences on that particular farm, because not everyone adheres to the expectations of the network. http://www.wwoof.se/home/ http://www.wwoof.org/independents.asp Another possibility for a cheap visit would be to arrange couchsurfing hosts for free accommodation. Most people will let you use their kitchen as well, which saves on food costs. http://www.couchsurfing.org/

I travelled around Norway for 5 weeks, and stayed with Norwegian hosts whom I met via these 3 websites: couchsurfing.org hospitalityclub.org globalfreeloaders.com First hook up with Norwegians through these websites, then make your enquiries to them. Good luck. (I don't know about Sweden...I guess the above advice can apply to Sweden too.)

How do I get my amp working in Sweden
How do I get my amp working in Sweden?
Last year I went to Sweden with my guitar and my practice amp, and when I went to plug in my amp, it short-circuited, I later found out, it was because the wattage in Sweden was higher than that of in America, and that much electricity overloaded the system. I had the adapter to plug in my amp, obviously, since I wouldn't be able to plug it in at all without the adapter. Is there something I can do to avoid this? Is this just inevitable, if I want an amp in Sweden do I need to buy one there, thanks. P.S. In case this is important, I have a 15w Line 6 Spider IV amp.

It's the voltage which is higher (220V), not the wattage! You need an adaptor. There are adaptors which are compatible with both, american and european voltages.

As you have already short circuited your amp you will first have to repair it to working order. If you can do it yourself, you can order your parts from the USA so they are compatible with the amp as is. But if you are 'stupid' enough to plug in an American amp into an Swedish outlet without checking the voltage, I worry about you being able to repair your amp. Better bring it to a local repair shop. Or buy a new amp in Sweden. I hope you did not burn out your guitar while burning your amp. Next time remember that there are plug adapters, those do not change the power. There are also voltage converters, those change the local voltage to that needed for the thing you are using. When using the voltage converter you will need to read a lot, about the voltage in the country you are, what is need for your things and how to set it up.
