If your brother seriously considers moving to Sweden, I would suggest that he makes that move soon. The longer he waits, the more things will hold him back in America. He will of course get more experienced with time, but one day he will find himself "stuck". It will also be easier for him to build a life here if he moves while still young. Anyhow, it is his decision and I wish him luck regardless of his choice.
jag tror det handlar nog om ens tankesätt, har man viljan att flytta så spelar det ingen roll vad gäller omständigheterna runtomkring
enda undantaget är nog om en har en familj men då är en kvar i det landet inte för att en "fastnat" utan snarare för att en vill umgås och vara nära sin familj
And if he does, I'm sure there's a hairdresser that will help him out.
@@kurtsoderberg ROFLOL ... ;D....
I had to chuckle when you mentioned how Swedes like to speak English. Every one of my cousins and everyone I met in Sweden (when they found I was American) all wanted to speak English to keep up with their knowledge. I think I can honestly say I've spoken more Swedish in the US than in Sweden! lol
That will change though, with time. :)
As a Canadian, I’ve always been a super fan of Sweden - and other likeminded advanced Nordic countries - and would live there in a heartbeat if I lived anywhere else.
As a Swede I've always been really curious of Canada. Seems like it's pretty similar kind of weather that I'm used to here, and when the world knows your country as being really nice people, that's a win in my book.
Canada is basically the sixth Beatle of the Nordic countries :)
As a swede, i could always resonate with Robin in How I met your mother. My cousin lives in canada now.
Stefan, I dont know if you noticed it but you said the Swedish Word "Exakt" at 11:55 probably unknowingly.
You know you lived a lot in Sweden when you starting to mix Swedish and English together without notice, haha!
I even think at times, some of his words had a slight Swedish accent 😊
Also noticed that when he says something wrong he says "eller" instead of "or" when he corrects himself :D 7:18
Also, "eller" at 7:18
It’s when he starts saying precis he’s sunk! Or absolut…. That’s what catches me whenever I pop over to see the family 😂
My wife's from China, we've been together for six years, living in Sweden. Her English has now a Swedish twang to it.
Your brother could apply to a 1 or 2 year masters program in English, there are many in the Stockholm-Uppsala areas. Once in Sweden he can really look for work and settle down.
I just got back from my first trip to Stockholm last week - I had a great time and I'm considering making the move so this video couldn't come at a better time 🙂
@@carloandreaguilar5916 From Ireland!
@@carloandreaguilar5916 I was lucky to get amazing weather while there especially at the weekend! It's beautiful, the transport system is extremely good (I couldn't believe my transport card covered trains, trams AND several ferries in the city 😂) - everything works very well and I found everyone to be lovely, I had no problem chatting and meeting some friends in my short time there!
Have you been to Stockholm before?
@@carloandreaguilar5916 I spoke to people wherever I went and I found everyone to be really lovely! Most nights I went to a few bars and met people there, some people were nice enough to give me their number incase I do end up living there 🙂
You're right, flights are expensive there at the minute it's unfortunate! Hope you can get out to experience the city soon, it really is beautiful!
@@carloandreaguilar5916 I'm a guy!
I have heard that Swedes are really reserved so I wasn't sure what to think either but I found everyone really easy to chat with! Like I got the ferry back from skansen and I started speaking to a swede about the large military boat that was in the harbour, turns out he worked with these kinds of boats before and he invited me along to see some more boats with him and stuff. Everyone seemed to be pretty open to chat 🙂 Maybe I just got lucky haha
Guys I can probably explain this.. Swedes are very social in the summer months and nice weather, especially at the start of summer lol. We aren’t near as social and open the rest of the year. So a good idea is to try to make as many new friends in that window as possible to hang out with through the rest of the year 😅😂 Once you become friends with someone it’s easier to meet new people and friends of friends and such though. Good luck :)
Well, wouldn't that be fun...both Thyron bros. in Stockholm!! 🤔🤣
All the best, if that is what you wish for...but I'm partial being Danish.
I adore Europe for all the same reasons..within an hour, you can be emersed in a different language, culture, food, weather..love it!! ❤
hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
My route has been through education. I came here for my MA at SU. I just finished, and I got an internship in March. They have just offered me a paid position, so they just need to prep the application for the visa before my student visa expires. Fortunately, the student visa allows you to work, you just have to be sure you prioritize your education and graduate. Also, as long as the new visa application is applied before the current one expires, I don't have to leave I can just continue working and getting paid while I wait on the visa approval.
If you want your case to be prioritized and been waiting for more than four months you can submit a request to get a decision within four weeks.
Visit the west coast of Sweden this summer (Västkusten - Such as: Smögen, Fjällbacka, Fiskebäckskil, Grebbestad etc...). The best part of Sweden (specifically during summer)! So beautiful
Österlen is the best :)
That would be nice. Welcome Christian. Always great videos on Stefan’s channel.😁
Thanks for sharing your experience! 😇
I work in a company in Stockholm. We have people there from all corners of the world. So we only speak english. All documents are in english. In fact, if i didnt speak english i wouldnt have got the jobb. I bet there are more companies here like this.
What company do you work for?
I am curious. Could you Mete, tell us the industry and skills needed to work at this company? If you could also mention other industries or the other companies possibly.
That's what I like about Stockholm, speaking english can get you a job, same with Göteborg. what company is that Mete? sorry .. I know it's privacy.
I think coming to study here is one of the best way to move. I did an exchange in Uppsala in 2017, came back in 2020 for a master's in Lund, and now I applied for the Sambo residence permit :))
Hi, just to make some quick clarifications: the reality in the tech industry or for tech adjacent jobs is significantly easier and quicker. Most of these companies have an agreement with MV which speeds up their applications. For example, I am from a low income non EU country, my work permit was approved in less than 10 days. This is because my company hires EY to do my paperwork for me and also have a special agreement with the Swedish gov. This is the reality for most of the large MNCs based on Stockholm. So keep that in mind. Process can be much quicker if you have a specific set of skills. Note: you don’t only have to be a programmer. I am not. But my job is very much in the tech space which played a massive role. :)
Yep, echoing this -- same thing for me.
Can someone post the link where they list the professions that are in shortage in Sweden?
Here you go 😊
www.swedishimmigration.se/all-topics/working-in-sweden/job-shortage-list-in-sweden-2022/
www.migrationsverket.se/download/18.6b4387bd17dc72a99251026/1646119077022/MIGRFS%202022%202.pdf
This is the legal text in Swedish. But the list is easy to google translate.
As a Swede I recommend Finland! (or Norway)!
But I do think that learning Swedish or Norwegian must be the easiest languages for an American to learn.
Can I ask you why? I really love Sweden, I have been there 3 times and I've absolutely loved it! Loved everything except for the weather. I'm not used to this rigid climate here in Italy ahaha
@@Friendly_pou Because Norway is so beautiful with steep hills right down to the sea. Finland because it's endless lakes and forrests. Sweden is not far behind.
About the climate: harsh winters so beautiful summers, especially now at midsommer. I do recommend Sweden too. Especially the northern parts, sparsely populated, rolling hills, lakes everywhere, nice and friendly people. And very important: Allemansrätten. The right to to roam the land regardless of the owner.
You are very welcome. At least in my opinion.
@@Friendly_pou My sister, and her husband is visiting her daughter, married to an Italian, Italy Milano today. So it seems we share some connection...
Salaries for the Swedish gym chains are shitty af. So def go for the private ones if you take that route!
You should probably have covered how to get hold of an apartment. I guess it's even harder in Stockholm than in other cities. :D
A third renewal on your permit? Isn't the second renewal tied to getting permanent residence?
Hi Stefan! I’ve been following you for years. I love your videos. I’m actually here in Stockholm right now. I have two questions for you:
- Could you please share the list of labor shortage? I’d love to check it out.
- Would you be up for a fika? I’m here through July 14th. Let me know.
What about the Human Resources field? I didn't see that on the list, but it seems like it's potentially in-demand from some articles I've read. Any thoughts?
I am an American who speaks German. My Swedish teachers are always telling me my Swedish has a German accent!
Hey there, I am an ELS teacher and also a Spanish native teacher, so if you need any help with Spanish do not hesitate to contact me. Love your videos.
One thing I can not really let go is that your brother Christian (correct name? He is usually only mentioned as a brother 🙂) really has a, in my world, very typical American appearance 🙂. Unfortunately, I do not have any good tips to facilitate a move to Sweden other than to state that ordinary Swedes are more than happy to welcome people from all parts of the world as long as you want to be a part of and contribute to the country. After all, Sweden would not have achieved much of the welfare and success we had if it were not for labor immigration during the 50s and 60s. Personally, I wish it would be easier for individuals who are productive and want to create a life here to be able to do the same. Regarding the language, you are so many right, Swedes are generally good at English, we like to "practice" our own English with English speakers, which I imagine makes it more difficult to learn Swedish. I personally have friends who are stuck in English (they do not have English as a sign language) and to some extent I try to pressure them to speak Swedish and develop their Swedish skills. No matter how much I try to include them, they will never be as included with the language barrier. So learning Swedish in the long run will benefit the person well. Finally, if Christian wants to come to Sweden and enrich the country as Stefan and many others have done, I welcome you Christian with open arms and wish you best of luck.
It can be an easier process for your brother since you live here, for example he can study her since his brother lives here
For a family trying to move to Sweden, it has been very hard to find jobs at Arbetsförmedlingen Platsbank. It seems like 80% or more of jobs are hired through staffing agencies. Should we just skip the Platsbank and send our resume in to every staffing agency instead? And is Duolingo level Swedish sufficient to get a job that requires knowledge of the language (seems like another 80% of them).
Kommer du ansöka om svenskt medborgarskap? När isåfall?:)
Check Umeå universitet. The Universite of Umeå have a lot to offer,. I think one year studies would make a big difference.
One advantage a german-speaking person has over the others in learning swedish is the knowledge of the letters Ä and Ö because they are common letters in both languages.
Can you post the link to the list of "in-demand" jobs? I lived in Sweden for a few years in the 1990s but I never renewed by personnummer kort. Dumb move!
2 good looking young Thyron men in Stockholm? Yes mam
But is your first thought after you got surprised about something in English or Swedish .
That is my way to see witch of your language is the dominant .
Your sweet, cute brother should ABSOLUTELY move here :)
are you going to aply for Swedish citicenship?
Välkommen!👍😃
I would love to move to America and I will definitely be looking for your help 🙈🙈🙈😂😂
Remember Sweden is very cold in winter. We wait more than 8 months for a sumner which never come
You're too optimistic. We wait for 12 months less one day for THAT summer day.
Where in Sweden do you guys live 😂?
What can you? We in our town serching lots of prossesion.
If you what you have Hard Rock cafe in Stockholm they can take an only english speaking person .
Did you complete Duolingo ?
Getting a work visa with that background your brother have, licensed or not. I give him a slim chanse to become a swedish citizen. Maybe if he is a physioterapeth or any other skill in the nursing, medical sector he would stand a chanse. Because if you follow the news they are screaming after qualified people in that sector. As well as teaching like yourself and in engineering. If your in those three sectors you are moore then wolcome here. And what you also neglect to mention is that not all works are to be found in Stockholm.
Now that Sweden are changing most of the heavy industry sweden are known for to a green envirement friendly industry. Like Nortvolt car batteries. And the whole process from mining to produce steel and other products that comes with that. Finding jobb will be easier in northern sweden. Like in cities such as, Skellefteå, Luleå, Boden, Gällivare and Kiruna. They have after all said they estimate they need to recriut 100000 new workers. For the common years. You should do a video about that instead. There are an woman from Washington D C that have moved especially to Luleå just to start recriut people for this enviroment change that will need so much people. The company she runs is called Linnea C Consulting AB.
I don't think any of them are interested in moving to Norrbotten at this time in life to be honest. Stockholm is the place to move when you're young and don't have kids and so on.
Do they need laborers? I’ve been a waitress all my life but always wanted to live in Sweden. Hha
@@redwinetoothpaste9964 They probebly need that too. There will come so much new work opperuteties around those "new enviroment friendly" jobb´s they are lookng for in first hand. Even gym instructures. So, yes!
@@erik.... Big city life attracts most people yes. But if your looking for a change in your life or just want to earn more money at a reasonbly cost that is an alternative. But yuo must of course ask yourself. Am i capable handleing the darkness and cold winters
Hi brother så klart du ska flytta till sweden🌎✈️ta flyget landa här och det blir bra🍀🕷️
Allt är bra förrutom politkerna. Sjukaste jag varit med om sen jag fick börja rösta!
Politicians are same wherever you go in the world. You just have not lived in other countries.
Income tax is high in Sweden so the take home money is less
Just a guess, the German will most likely make it easier learn swedish...
Would be funny if he moved to Norway instead, 2*Thyrones..one Swedish one Norwegian :D
There is no minimum salary in Sweden.
So the government hasn't enforced a minimum hourly wage?
You have now lived and worked in Sweden for so long that you can apply for Swedish citizenship 😝
He shall move soon, befor he get to many comitments in USA!
Native speaking english is a big advance.. especialy in Stockholm.
One juste have to find that job, that fit ones education and there is a demand for native english speaker, and native to US cultur/society!
Get him here, and find him a swedish girlfriend, then he is stuck, could be nice with a Thyron clan in Stockholm, you fit in!
Your brother shall be most welcome in scandinavia .. well ok he'll prob choose sweden BUT as a Dane i will not hold that against him ..... much :-)
It's easier migrating to Sweden than to Denmark.
@@harleysushi9163 it was a joke....
is this the 3:d time i see you brothere here in sweden?
u were from Washington state, portland or something? (writing on the fly, didn't check that)
you are more Swedish than Swedish are, but not fully californian. yall fit in...
u might be seen as left extremist by some and moderate for ignorant ppl :)
but I, for my self, embrace som influence, but just not from one side.
whats your bro's channel?
words...
check out the name, incorporated inte the english lingo "ombudsman"
I had to sit down.. when I saw this.. "the ukrainian ombudsman" (some female name) resigned after lying about Russian atrocities ... it felt weird just the word "ombudsman" 'someone who represents you" IR .. layer?
but ombudsman is abit wider.. i have no idea how the word made it internationally
Both boyz are hot! Actually all hot boys should move to Sweden (or Norway or Finland! Neither is actuyally a single meter from Sweden!)
And my brother moving to USA!
Hm..
He can move to Danmark. We need all sorts of workers, from bin collector to brain surgeons.

Buy an apartment is no another Way if have aford to .
Tip learn to write English. This sentence is not possible to understand. I’m guessing you are trying to say “There’s no way to buy an apartment it’s way to expensive” or “Buy an apartment assuming you can afford it.
the status of americans are very high in sweden so just of your american background you will probl get a better opportunity of getting a job
lol
... Stay in america
1:03 i mean, if u really think about it, u guys are as much european as europeans itself by DNA, xddd

Please check the data before sharing on Sweden/Stockholm producing highest volume of unicorn startups per capita. I’m pretty sure Estonia/Tallinn made more + there’s also Israel.
Why have you not seek Swedish citizenship when we have Double citizenship so not need to Let go of American citizen ship are Not need To seek new Work premisses are that not a choise ?????
Or are that not can do that from American side ❓❓❓
Also new Law's for Migrant are on way happen are Go to Make it harder to Move here in future are already In 1 July then 1 Jan 2023 come more 🇸🇪🇪🇺
Jake and Logan Paul
Would u consider moving to Sweden?
Yes its a beautiful city!
Lol
So American..dont even know Sweden is a country.
Try Skånsk instead of Spanish. 🤣
Stefan, I love your videos. I just have a small suggestion. If you have a guest, please let him speak at least 50% of the time. All what you say is very interesting but if there is someone besides you it makes it look like a plant if they don’t have a time to speak and that’s really uncomfortable to see.
I live here and moving here is a terrible choice. Finland, Norway or Denmark would've been way safer. We are not allowed to talk about all of the gun violence, terrorists and criminals. Swedes tend to stick their heads in the sand and pretend they are the best people and the best country. Media also wants to portray this despite statistics showing Sweden being at the top on deadly gun violence in europe. You can google this yourself. These are real problems which our neighbour countries do not have. Guess some people will learn the hard way unfortunately.
