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.

Which is one step forward, but I still need my residence permit to properly be considered an honorary Swede :)
I had hoped to be able to start my language course with the government run SFI class now I had my identity number but alas, you need the residency. Pity, I’ll just have to wait.

Everything was pretty straightforward, not sure how long we have to wait now, and I still don’t know whether I also have to apply for a work permit. But, it’s a step in the right direction, yay!

...but have only just got here. I want to tick this goal off once it is official, once I have residency. We are going to the migration board next week (we’re waiting on a form of Erik’s, at the moment), and that should make things clearer. I’m not really looking forward to all the legal stuff, but it’s a step that has to be taken.

I’m getting panicky now, there’s so much to do!! I have lots of packing to get done, and lots of legal/financial/health fidgy-widginess to sort out, too. Here’s hoping I get it all done.

...I would already have moved there. But the sensible thing to do is wait until September, when I will have saved up a fair amount of money (even more now that I’m full time). It’s a better situation, but the heart is not very sensible, is it? :) I will have to content myself with the knowledge I’ll be visiting again in May, and that’s not too far away, really.

I don’t have to fill our a residency form before I leave, so I can move whenever I want. This will most likely be either in April or August ‘08 so that I’ll have saved some more money :)
