(edit title) Irish Girl has just moved to Sweden! Employment, Education, Lifestyle! Options

[Somebody]

There are 2 options I know of:

-you have a sambo stating in written that he's going to be suporting you
-you have a permanent job (to get PN)

They have changed the regulation this year. As EU person you do not need to
be registered with MV before applying for PN (and to get it)
Mine came in less than 2 weeks

knagle, have you tried talking to recruitment companies? there are also recruitment meetings that are listed at www.ams.se (enter the side - click on "För arbetssökande" click on "visa aktuella rekryteringsträffar")
another idea is to try to teach english at some school if you want to, you could also check the following site:

you need a personnummer to open a swedish bank account

best of luck!

No, no, i don't have it, i applied for he "temporary" one, no reply yet... But as we said, it's only for tax purposes but it doesnt entitle you to get medical treatment or SFI or to get a bank account etc...
So, what happened in the end at SV, Im assuming that you didnt get this temp number, but what did they advise to do?

That's where you've gone wrong. You should have said you were here to live with your sambo. But to be honest, that sounds more like the info you would have to give MV, not SV. Once you're registered with MV, SV shouldn't be that much hassle.

For the avoidance of doubt, tell them you are here to live with your sambo, and don't mention anything about work. Also, tell them that as an EU citizen, all you legally have to show them is your passport, and that you will be taking legal advice if they don't get their arses in gear.

Good luck!

JulieLou, i have sent you a message to make sure of what the sambo visa is with MV... but you are ignoring me, booo

[sizoider]

knagle, so did you find any job?/?hows things going??

[knagle]

Sizoider, i didnt find a job yet no... seems to be absolutely nothing going! Still trying though!

[knagle]

Thanks JulieLou40! I will most definitely be taking your advice when I make my next, and hopefully last visit to the Office Of Doom!

[brownkitten]

I'm in the same boat Knagle, (as are many I'm sure). Just wishing you best of luck! And if it's restaurant work you're looking for, it's almost spring so many places will be opening soon - so hopefully that's comforting!

[knagle]

@brownkitten, how long have you been in Sweden for ? Are things looking up for you ? )) Best of Luck tooooo! Oh well any work is what Im looking for now! Thanks for the reassurement, I really appreciate it

[brownkitten]

I've been here for 2 months. I'm trying to look for work in my field so it's a bit trickier. I've had a few interviews but nothing so far. Have you tried looking for retail work as well? This is a good website for it http://www.modeindustrin.se/

[ElijahBenjamin]

Hey stay away from that place I mentioned, they pay 10 pounds for a day of work.

[knagle]

Elijah, will do! Today I walked around the city and went into a pub and talked with the manager, I have a trial shift Wednesday evening! Fingers crossed ( agaaaain! ) Also, tomorrow morning I will be going to MV, to just talk about the situation, and will definitely be taking into account what all of you have helped me with. I really do appreciate it, person number here I come!

[Streja]

knagle, it says on the mv site that as a sambo you should apply as non EU. Not easy to navigate or atleast wasn't in 2003 when my sambo moved here but my mum has worked with immigrants so told me what to do and we checked ther site and he sent the form in already from the UK.

Nasty old women, well you get them everywhere. Just ignore and hopefully next time will be better.

[knagle]

Thanks Streja. Ill let you guys know how I get on tomorrow, I've everything all ready for the morning including my "argument" (if needs be perhaps!) about how unhelpful and unknowledgable the previous lady who " assisted" me in SV was last time. Lets see tomorrow If someone who knows how to do their job will be dealt to me.
