Starting from the 31'st of May 2021, Sweden has decided to lift all travel restrictions for travelers from Nordic countries.

We have collected a few links with information about the restrictions and travel-advice from Sweden and Danish authorities to help cross-border commuters who travel across Øresund daily to stay informed.

British citizens who live and work in the Öresund region before the 1st January 2021 will retain their rights to live and work in Sweden and Denmark on the same terms as before Brexit. However, starting in 2021, new documentation will be required.

Please be advised that when traveling from Denmark to Sweden, the Swedish authorities requires you to have a valid photo-ID. You can read more about what this might mean to commuters between Sweden and Denmark here.

The Swedish government have introduced stricter border controls to stem the spread of covid-19. Below, we have collected relevant information regarding trips to Sweden.

When commuting to Sweden, there are several things that you have to take care of in order to e.g. get social insurance or to get your saleries.

If you want to apply for jobs in Sweden, you can find vacant posts here on Øresunddirekt, check company websites or send a unsolicited application.

When you work in Sweden, you must pay tax in Sweden. You must have a “coordination number” (Samordningsnummer) from Skatteverket, which is the Swedish Tax Authority, in the municipality of your place of work, and you must also decide whether you want to pay "SINK tax" or ordinary Swedish tax.
