You need to learn the requirements for a work visa first. See site below.

There is no permit for "Europe" - there is a so called 'Blue Card" launched for very highly skilled migrants to be able to move freely based on job offers within the EU, but this is in it's infancy, and also very restructed.. If you want to move to Sweden and live/work then, there you have the choice of moving there as the partner of your girlfriend (family re-unification) - where she will have to show that she can financially support you. Otherwise to get a work permit on your own basis, this will be very difficult (same as if she wanted to move to the US) Contact the Swedish embassy in the US as your starting point with the link from Charlie. The following link (Swedish immigration dept) gives a lot of info also in English http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.jsp with the options available. Of course the price will depend on which route you take. Get as much info as you can, and then make a decision about which way you want to play it. Personally I would advise the family reunification option as it is generally a safer option to ensure you are able to move to Sweden. My husband is non-EU - so we did plenty of research into the options - so this is speaking from first-hand experience :0) Best of luck to you
