"It is nice to be considered an official citizen of Sweden, now to find a job!"
How I did it: I filled out the necessary forms, submitted the required documents, and the Swedish Migration Board did the rest. I applied for my residence permit on the 1st of October, and today it arrived in the post, so it took just under a month! Pretty cool.
Lessons & tips: Be patient, it's a bureaucracy getting the official papers, but once it is done, it feels good. Find out the relevant information you will need BEFORE moving to a country, there was a lot of forward planning before I moved here, and I knew exactly what forms I needed to fill in and what I had to take with me. It just makes the process go ore smoothly.
