New in Sweden

We hope you'll have a good life here in Värmland and Sweden. This section provides a brief introduction to Swedish society and what living here is like. We hope it'll help you get to know your new homeland a little more.

There may be significant differences between countries which seem on the surface to be similar; they may have different welfare systems, legal systems, family life and traditions. A lot of the things you need to know and might be interested in can also be found in other sections under MOVE TO.
