Living in Sweden with a residence permit involves adhering to specific rules and regulations. Here are the detailed guidelines typically applicable to foreigners:

1. Residence Permit Types: Foreigners must first obtain the appropriate residence permit, such as for work, study, family reunification, or asylum.

2. Registration: Upon arrival, residents must register with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) within three months if staying for more than one year.

3. Identity Documents: It's mandatory to carry your residence permit card or proof of application at all times.

4. Financial Requirements: Ensure adequate financial means to support yourself during your stay.

5. Health Insurance: Non-EU/EEA citizens must have health insurance. EU/EEA citizens should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

6. Housing: Maintain suitable housing and notify the Swedish Migration Agency of any change in address.

7. Work: Work is allowed under certain permits. Different rules apply for EU/EEA citizens and non-EU/EEA citizens.

8. Family Members: Rules differ for family members accompanying or joining the resident.

9. Taxes: Residents are subject to Swedish taxes on income earned in Sweden.

10. Social Integration: Learn Swedish and participate in societal integration activities.

11. Travel: Check re-entry requirements if leaving Sweden temporarily.

12. Renewal and Extensions: Timely renew permits before expiry to avoid legal complications.

These rules ensure that residents comply with Swedish laws and contribute positively to society. For precise and personalized advice, consulting with the Swedish Migration Agency or legal professionals is recommended.
