In order to obtain a residence permit as a self-employed person, several requirements must be met. The requirements are that:
The applicant must have a valid passport.
The applicant must know English or Swedish.
The applicant must be self-employed and for this it is required that you own at least 50% of the company.

Visa
Citizens of countries outside the EU need a visa to visit Sweden as a tourist or to meet friends and relatives. A visa granted by one of the Schengen countries is also valid for visits to all the other countries participating in the cooperation.
If you want to visit Sweden, you must meet certain requirements, among other things you must have a passport that is valid for at least three months after the visa’s expiry date.
The visitor must also have access to money for subsistence and for the journey home.
Swedish authorities have assessed that a person needs 40 euros (about SEK 370) per day that the visit to Sweden lasts.
In some cases, the amount can be lower, such as for smaller children, if the cost of board and lodging has been paid in advance or if the applicant is to live with relatives or friends.
You can show that you have enough money for living with the help of, for example, bank statements or documents where the inviter in Sweden promises to cover all costs during the visit.
You also need to take out individual travel insurance that covers the costs that may arise in connection with emergency medical assistance, urgent hospital care or transport home for medical reasons.
The insurance must cover costs of at least 30,000 euros and apply in all Schengen countries.
Citizenship
There are three ways to obtain Swedish citizenship according to the Citizenship Act:
Automatic – at birth or parents’ marriage
Registration – after a simple check that the formalities have been met
Application – after a free evidentiary examination of the circumstances of the individual case
Rights that come with citizenship:
Right to vote
Help with missions abroad
Access to certain services such as protected jobs and ministerial positions

Rights resulting from EU membership
Right to move freely in the EU – right of residence
Rules on citizenship are found in the Swedish Citizenship Act.
