EU/EEA citizens who will work in Sweden for a period longer than three months have a right to reside without having to apply for a residence permit.

For the registration you need either a valid passport or an identity card showing your nationality. You also need to fill in a form called Registration of right of residence, provided by the Migration Board.

The right to reside applies to you as an EU/EEA citizen who is able to support yourself and your family members. You are allowed to start working immediately.
