- In this video, I share my experience moving from the USA to Sweden six years ago and the incredible journey of becoming a Swedish citizen! From overcoming immigration challenges to embracing the language and culture, I'll open up about the process and the emotional moment of receiving my citizenship.

Congrats Stefan, so happy for you that you got your official Swedish citizenship!!! You have definitely become more European over the years and I'm glad you can now stay in Sweden without worries or any limits of any kind. We love our neighbor Sweden here in Norway, and now you are officially a neighbor of us as well!🤩🤩
Love to Norway from Sweden man 🇳🇴🇸🇪
Love straight back at Norway! 🇸🇪❤️🇳🇴 & congrats on the citizenship 😊
Congratulations on becoming a Swedish citizen🎉 🇸🇪💛💙
Grattis 🇸🇪💙💛
Congratulations on becoming a Swedish and European Union citizen!
Grattis till medborgarskapet! Har följt dig i tre år och lärt mig mycket intressant om ditt hemland och alla kulturskillnader som finns. Dessutom förstår jag engelska mycket bättre nu efter att ha lyssnat på dig!
Grattis! Du passar in perfekt här.
Congrats! I moved to Borlänge in 1997, am a dual citizen as well. Been in Buffalo where I’m from (born in Buffalo 1977-moved to Sweden in 97) since 2009 as my Swedish hubby and son wanted to live here for a bit. But we are moving back when hubby retires. Wish it were sooner. I miss Sweden so much. I feel just like you about Sweden. It’s home.
Congrats man! Glad to have you here!💙💛
Då får man säga stort grattis till medborgarskap Stefan🎉🍾🎉👏👍
Grattis fan va kul 🎉🎉
Du är en jävligt fin och ödmjukt människa så vi är glada att ha dig som en av oss 🎉❤
Congratulations Stefan! Welcome as a Swede.
How exciting! I'm happy for you. A good friend is taking her exam today for French citizenship and I have my permanent residents card. It was lovely to hear your feelings of belonging from the beginning. I knew that I belonged in France even before I arrived. BTW, my.father was Swedish and the other side of the family came from the UK. I was the first born in America and knew that I belonged in Europe at a very early age.
Congratulations! I would LOVE to be a Swedish citizen. I used to live there many years ago, then I flew there for work weekly, for many years. I have a great job now in the US that keeps me here, but being a Swedish citizen is a dream of mine.
Nice to hear, much people here especially women dreams about moving to USA as they obviously watch to many romantic movies probably and never see the reality overall
Grattis till ditt medborgarskap. Jag har följt dig från första början och det har varit riktigt kul att få se hur bra det går för dig! Lycka till med nästa äventyr! 🇸🇪🇺🇲
Ett stort grattis till dig och till Sverige på samma gång - det blev storvinst för bägge! Jag har följt din kanal här i flera år och uppskattar den mycket.
Congratulations!! What a long and challenging journey. So happy for you! 🇸🇪💙
Congratulations on becoming a Swedish citizen! As a native Swede, it’s been very interesting and exciting to learn what it’s like for people who grew up in other countries to share their experiences with living in Sweden and its culture. I’m looking forward to seeing future content on your channel. And again, congratulations for becoming a citizen!
Congratulations Stefan! I agree with you that Sweden feels like home. I haven't been able to visit since 2003, however every time I landed at Arlanda airport it felt like a weight had left my shoulders. Welcome home! Välkommen hem!!
Stort grattis till dig! Har följt dig i stort sett sedan du började dela med dig av din resa på CZcams så det är kul att se att du rotat dig och känner dig hemma i vårt avlånga och ibland lite märkliga land. Det måste vara en enorm lättnad att ha ett Svenskt medborgarskap då det definitivt gör livet lite lättare för dig i och med att du inte behöver krångla med uppehålls- och arbetstillstånd framöver.
MAJOR CONGRATS!!! 🎉 You are inspiring! I am a fellow American starting my immigration journey to Sweden too and I also lived in Germany when I was young! It took you only 7 years from 2017-2024 to get your dual citizenship!
If you could please do some videos on the nitty gritty of the process you went through and new challenges with filing American taxes for dual citizenship, that would be tremendously helpful!
I'm glad to be one of the early 'congratulators' here. I've followed your videos from the beginning and was wondering when this might happen. I can fully relate to your experience, albeit in a much more rural way. My family history is split nearly 50/50 to German and Swedish, yet the DNA does not lie when it says that I am about 72% Nordic, with most of that being Swedish, and only 25% German. My first trip to Sweden was in 1971 when I was 20. It took me 40 years to get back here. Three years ago I made the jump and purchased a farm three hours north of Stockholm and fifteen minutes west of E4. There was no mistake in doing this. I never got over my first trip to Sweden and it only took me 50 years to 'come home.' I have never felt as 'at home' in the US as I do here in Sweden. I look forward to this very same day for myself. I have long believed that we are born with relatives, but sometimes it take a long time to find out 'family.' The ideal is that they be one and the same, yet it is rarely the case. I've also come to believe that we may be born in a particular place, but finding our home may take a while.........it took me 70 years. I am in the process of shipping all of my tools, equipment, household things and my three Volvo Amazons over. I know I will have arrived when I drive out of the lane that leads to the 307 in one of the Amazons. Again, welcome home. To everyone reading this, may you also have the courage to take the leap of faith if it means moving to a new continent.
Thank you for sharing your story! I'm glad you have found your place in the world. It sounds wonderful. I'm from Sweden (dad's actually from Chicago though) and can very much relate to the Amazon part. I had an Amazon for 12 years (it was my grandparents' car originally) and then I sold it to a gentleman who has now fully restored it to its former glory and shows it off at local vintage car shows. Anyway, good luck to you with your new home and take care of those Amazons 😉
What part of Sweden do you live in now? I'm about half way between Hudiksvall and Sundsvall and about 15 minutes west of E4. This is a wonderful area in so many respects. It's nice to connect with people from all over Sweden. It always assists with my education. @@connyjohnson855
Grattis Stefan! I think it's safe to say most would agree it's awesome to have you here. Skåål! 😎👌💯
Wow GRATTIS! I’ve followed your journey since 2018, so this makes me a little proud😄🇸🇪
Best of luck mate. Swedes are brilliant.
Congratulations from Finland too. That is sure a relief that no more that byrocrasy. I have heard same things about Finland and it is not easy process to move here permanently.
Wow, I've been following you since day one. Unreal! You're a Swede now!
Gratulerer så mye. Varme hilsener fra Norge.
Congratulations. We are happy and proud that you want to be one of us. Love from Segeltorp/Stockholm/ J
Gratulera till att bli Svensk medborgare, du kommer att få en inbjudan till Medborgarskapsceremonier för att fira att du har blivit svensk!
"blivit svensk"
Jaaaa tillsammans med Achmed, Mochammed, Belal, Kalil, Babocarr och Klick. Synd att de inte kommer dyka upp bara 🙁
"Bli Svensk!" LOL.

Jodå, de kommer komma, problemet är att de inte kommer förstå vad som sägs @@Gonken88
Oh my goodness, congratulations Stefan!!! Having been a follower of yours since you started making videos this is so awesome to see. You're living the dream and have genuinely inspired me to do the same. I'm currently in the process of getting Argentine citizenship after being born and raised in the US and have my eyes set on Sweden (or maybe Spain) next! Keep it up!
benjaminobrien429 why are you getting Argentinian citizenship? Are you Russian?
Gratulera, Stefan!! My husband and I will be visiting Stockholm later this year. We'll be meeting my cousin, Bjorn, who lives there.
