Top removal packing tips when moving to Sweden
Securely packing your belongings for removal is essential when moving to Sweden. Hiring a professional packing service is a great way to ease stress and save time. Otherwise, gather your packing materials, pack slowly and follow our 4 top tips below. For more in-depth packing advice, reference How to choose a box for shipping and How to pack our removals boxes.
Decide what to move to Sweden:
Walk from room to room in your home and decide what you need to take to Sweden and what you don't. After all, the fewer items you move, the cheaper it will be!
Sell what you no longer need on eBay and Facebook Marketplace — excellent resources for making extra cash to fund your move to Sweden. Take everything else to your local high street charity shops or recycling centre.
Pack fragile goods with care:
Create a solid base for your removals box using three overlapping layers of parcel tape. Repeat at the top. Wrap everything in bubble wrap and use two layers for delicate goods. Place heaviest items along the bottom and lighter effects above and away from the sides.
Fill gaps with soft materials like towels and packing paper. Once complete, gently shake your container. If you hear a sound, add more soft materials.
Arrange a parking spot for our move vehicle:
Purchase parking tickets or permits if necessary before collection day. Doing so allows our driver to park within twenty metres of your home's entrance.
A trolly is available to help move removals containers from your home's exit to our vehicle. Our driver can offer advice but must be able to keep the van within eyesight at all times.
Prepare for your removals collection:
Move all your containers as close to your building's entrance as possible before our driver arrives. For the safety of both you and our driver, we cannot accept removals containers over 30kg/66lbs.
Determine the weight of each box, bag or suitcase by placing them on bathroom scales. Move items to a lighter box if a container is over the limit.
I have used Seven Seas Worldwide for removals service three times now over the past four years with no problem at all. The customer service team answered my questions responsibly and followed up quickly, making my removal experience easy. Emails came through regarding updates, so you won't be worried much about where your stuff is. The price is reasonable and transparent, with no hidden price.

Moving to Sweden: an essential guide
Would you like to move to a country known for its eco-conscious standards, impeccable manners and breathtaking scenery? In Swedish culture, people value personal space, enjoy a high standard of living, and prioritise their work-life balance. Swedes are proud of their justice system, polite society, and progressive ideals. But before you rush to the airport, here are some essential facts to help with the big move:
Types of visas: EU citizens and those from the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and Switzerland do not need a visa to move to Sweden. Non-EU or EFTA citizens who wish to stay longer than 90 days must apply for a residence permit.
Job opportunities: learning Swedish would be helpful, as English-speaking jobs will likely need at least a working knowledge of the language. In-demand roles include pharmacists, teachers, software developers, and engineers.
Healthcare: Sweden's health system is tax-funded to ensure equal access to high-quality services for all, including expats. Once you've obtained residence, you'll need a personal identification number to register.
Education: schooling in Sweden is highly regarded, with a focus on innovation and critical thinking. Education is free from preschool to university level. World-ranked further education institutions include the Karolinska Institute, Lund University, and Stockholm University.
Lifestyle: Swedes take a balanced approach to work and leisure, valuing nature and the outdoors. They embrace a minimalist and sustainable lifestyle and engage in cultural pursuits such as fika (coffee and cake break!) and walks in nature.
Moving checklist for international removals to Sweden
Even though our removals company makes moving your possessions to Sweden easy, this handy checklist helps you get ready for the move itself:
- Gather your paperwork: keep all essential documents, such as utility bills and birth certificates, in one place for quick access.
- Apply for a visa: research the Swedish visa best suited to you and your family's needs, then apply and await approval.
- Arrange accommodation: sell or rent your current home, then buy or rent once in Sweden. Renting allows for time to acclimatise before making a big decision, like purchasing a home.
- Book an international removals service: generate a quick free removals quote on our website, then select a date so we can collect your belongings.
- Arrange travel: book flights to Sweden as soon as possible so you can settle into your new home stress-free before your shipment arrives.
- Sort your finances: let your bank know you're moving abroad, research Swedish Tax Agency, and withdraw some Euros to cover last-minute purchases.
- Speak to a doctor: ask for a three-month supply of any medication you take until you find a new healthcare provider.
- Pet relocation: if bringing your four-legged pals, arrange their vaccinations and buy a safe pet carrier. All pets entering Sweden must have an EU pet passport and be identifiable via microchip.
- Have a declutter: think hard about which home contents you'll move and what you won't. After all, the less you take, the cheaper it will be. Sell, donate or recycle what you leave behind.
- Pack your belongings: securely wrap and pack your possessions and place them in sturdy removal containers. For a stress-free loading day, move all your boxes, bags and suitcases as close to your building's entrance as possible the night before.
- Settle into your new home: once your shipment has cleared customs, you will be contacted to arrange a final delivery date. All that's left to do now is unload, unpack, and ease into your exciting new life in Sweden!
