Well it depends from where you are coming to and what are your plans in Sweden. My experience was quite positive when I just moved 4,5 years ago and it turned into a complete disaster. The only reason for it is the Swedish migration board. If you have EU passport, moving to Sweden is super easy and positive but if you are from 3rd world country you will have a bad experience when aplying for a visa for the first time and even worse time when extending it.
