median $3,430
Best for: Stockholm or Gothenburg as a high-cost summer-half base.
Sweden doesn't have a DNV and the self-employment route requires a real Swedish business case (clients, capital, plan). Stockholm is the realistic anchor city; the dark-winter trade-off is genuinely brutal between November and February. Best treated as a May–September base if you must, with a winter exit plan to Iberia or Asia.
Visa story

Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
