Moving to Sweden with a disability

There are lots of people with different kind of disabilities who have moved to Sweden and living in fantastic living standards since Sweden offers everything a disable person should have to live a normal lifestyle as possible. Everything is financed by tax payers contribution. For people who interested in more information this link may will get you to somewhere https://www.informationsverige.se/en/ja … edattning/

Dear Bhavna and all,
we at the St. Elisabeth Convent would be glad for getting in touch with any communities and forums for cultural integration of disabled persons in Sweden and share experience.

Love,
St Elisabeth Convent

hello, yes it is true that Sweden has a spectacular transportation and a culture for passengers but otherwise it does not have anything more attractive for those who want to live there since it does not have opportunities for foreigners and the cost of living is extremely high without belting that the people of Sweden are not interested in making new friends at all since it is not their culture to talk with foreign people so fun or recreation is very lonely in that country

@Jorge Rivera hello, this i did not know about Sweden i will now look more thoroughly into your perspective of moving to Sweden. Thank you.

@Bhavna These are very good questions you bring up I’m going to rent virtually a business office to have a satellite business location in Sweden ,  never considered transportation or medical well I recall the medical system is tier level for the natives of Sweden similar to ours this much I know I have family there they are distant relatives that I need to reconnect with that would for sure fill me in on everything .

@Jorge Rivera unless you love coffee lol if one loves coffee one will make friends , the tax rate is higher than other European counterparts to my surprise .

@semconvent Hello, I am a person with a disability. I am looking to emigrate to Sweden but thought I should stay there for a month or 2 first. Could you be so kind to instruct me on what steps I need to take? There is a lot of information online and it can get confusing. Thank you so much

Dear Colleagues

Having moved my Private Practice to Sweden in 2019/2020, entering the height of the COVID period and at the time I've supported quite a number of individuals struggling with job losses, bereavement, post-Covid healing symptoms, etc. on a pro-bono basis.

As a specialist Therapeutic Practitioner and Operational Coach, my practice provides for specialist support to VIIB* individuals (Visually Impaired Including Blind). My practice is affiliated with the WBU (World Blind Unit), holding a life-time's research and development also as HR Business Partner during the Recruitment Phase of placing Differently Abled Individuals in the job market.

Should you wish to share a Fika together, you are most welcome to be in touch.

Using English as the global language in industry, whilst learning to speak Svenska on the side.

Hej Lilqu

All humans are differently abled. However, you refer to yourself as someone with a specific diffability.

You are welcome to contact me for more specific guidance.

The nature and content of your diffability will create the context for you to explore the extent of support available in Sweden.

Anything is possible; not everything is likely to realise according to your needs.

Suggestion: If at all possible, try utilizing a 90 day tourist visa. We are talking here about the statistical '3' (3 months) in which to explore, experiment, travel, doing research of your own and getting on top of the information you need before making a life-changing decision in moving anywhere.

Hej!

Unfortunately your referred link is outdated and does not land on any user-friendly information page (https://www.informationsverige.se/en/ja ).

Portraying Sweden in a realistic way with all its benefits might be somewhat volumised, depending from where a prospective 'newcomer' is moving to Sweden.

I LOVE Sweden, it's people, the weather, nature and the list goes on, and on.

However, Persons with Disabilities do present with personaised special needs, and depending on WHERE in Sweden they live, some Kommunes (Municipalities) are simply better geared towards the full spectrum of their community members' needs.
