Ive been wanting to move to Sweden for a while now for someone i know and now im 18 ive been trying to look more into how possible it would be.

Im wondering how hard it would be to find a job with a very basic understanding of Swedish, but very willing to learn. As well as where i can search to find jobs in Sweden that dont all have as high qualification requirements.

Also wondering how hard it would be to find an apartment at the moment in Sweden, as i dont have too much money but will be borrowing from family but i would also much prefer to rent.

I havnt looked too much into it as of yet, but i thought it might be worth aksing on here first.
Any tips or aid would be greatly appreciated.

This forum is loaded with wealth of knowledge and previous posts relating to yours. You can become friend with the search button. In as much as you are willing to learn the language, you will be eventually fine, but don't expect things to go smoothly immediately after your arrival, unless you are among the few that are exceptionally lucky. Best of luck.

My advice would be to get a job in the UK (if you don't already have one), put aside as much money as you can for a couple of years, and then move. Sweden is very expensive, and it is very hard for immigrants-especially ones with not great Swedish-to get a job and survive.
