How would one go about moving to Sweden when they are currently a U.S. citizen

How would one go about moving to Sweden when they are currently a U.S. citizen?
Serious answers only please! Of course a passport would be necessary. Where would I start to look for the requirements? Do I have to get a work visa? Can I only move there if I'm working? What kind of benefits would I get? When would I become a citizen? How long do I continue to get benefits as a U.S. citizen? How do you get dual citizenship? Do I have to file taxes in the U.S. if I work in Sweden to maintain my U.S. citizenship? Any resources or general pushes in the right direction are super appreciated!! Are Swedes kind to Americans that move there? How common is it for Swedish business to speak english? and the general Swedish public? Where can I learn Swedish quickly? No, I do not have a criminal record and I'm not moving there because of legal or financial problems. What type of government does Sweden have? What's the weather like? (I know -- I can get that info from a great web site -- weather and gov't info will be easy for me to find.)

Swedish immigration is much like our own. They have a "green card system", and citizenship laws as do we.
2 :
for starters: http://www.alltravelsweden.com/ You really should seek info about the country...
3 :
some of the questions are types you can factual info from the swedish consulate/embassy. what prevents you from getting it there? anyway not a swede but have fun with the yahoo answers
4 :
If you have or get a job there, or if you are maried to someone who works there or is a citizen, then it is a lot easier to get permission to stay. Getting a work or study visa as a student for a limited time period is also quite easy, provided you have been accepted into a study-programme in Sweden or through exchange. In that case, you might even be elegible for Swedish student loans/support. People in Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland) usually learn english as their second language, and are tought in school, from about the 3rd grade. As TV and movies usually are subtitled, people are used to listening to english. If you move and live in some of the larger cities, you should be okey with your american english for a while at least. It's easiest to learn swedish in Sweden, living with swedes. I'd say people in the cities in Sweden generally would be welcoming of americans, if you yourself are open towards them. This includes open to accept answering or discussing their perhaps pertinent questions regarding american foreign and internal policy. Sweden is a constitional monarchy, AFAIR, but with a democratically elected government on all levels. In wars, they have resently stayed neutral, like the Swiss. Sweden is geographically a "long" country - something like 1300 hundred miles long on the north-south axis, and perhaps 200 miles across on it's widest. The southern part has farmland akin to Wisconsin, but with temperate, seaside climate, and beech-wood forests on granite rock. The northern parts have different shades of pineforests, also farming, and at places quite a lot of forestry, with some lakes and rivers. The northern-most part is within the arctic circle meaning that the sun never sets during most of the summer, but also, that it never rises most of the winter. Rough country, with low pines, raindeer, tundra, mountains. So, nothern parts are a lot like Canada :)

Your dutch provide needs a partner in norway; obvious it has not one.
2 :
There is a Lebara in Norway itself http://lebara.no/ and also on the Dutch website, Norway is mentioned on the page for roaming costs http://www.lebara-mobile.nl/roaming. Both of these indicate that of course they have a "partner" operation in Norway So this does not give you an answer which solves the mystery and therefore would suggest that you contact them directly http://www.lebara-mobile.nl/Contact and in case you are still in Norway, they have a number you can call from abroad as well
