Introduction
Moving from Denmark to Sweden should feel like a fresh start, not a maze. You are crossing a short, well oiled corridor where planning beats stress every time. With a crisp checklist, right sized vans, and live GPS tracking, your hop across the Øresund becomes a smooth, confident stride. Whether you are relocating a studio from Nørrebro, a family home from Frederiksberg, or an office near Ørestad, we map the route, secure access, and keep you updated in real time.
This guide shows you exactly what to prepare, what you can bring duty free, the best routes from Copenhagen to Malmö and beyond, realistic timelines, and how to finish Swedish registrations fast. If you want calm, insured transport with friendly crews, book your slot with Removals to Denmark and tell us your Denmark→Sweden route in the notes. Prefer a premium touch for heirlooms or art? Add our White Glove Delivery. Need packing off your plate? Choose Packing Service and arrive with energy to spare.
TL;DR
- EU to EU move: household goods for personal use usually travel duty free. Check Swedish allowances for alcohol and tobacco, plant rules, and hazardous items.
- Documents: register your address and personnummer with Skatteverket, consider Migrationsverket rules for non EU family, join Försäkringskassan for healthcare benefits, and set up BankID and Kivra.
- Van sizes from 5 to 90 m³. Share a quick photo inventory so we size your move precisely and plan access for tight stairwells and courtyards.
- Fast corridors via the Øresund Bridge or the Helsingør–Helsingborg ferry. Copenhagen→Malmö is same day; to Gothenburg or Stockholm allow 1–2 days.
- Pack like a pro: double wall boxes, labels on two sides, cables photographed, soft wrap for glass, and a Day 1 essentials box. Add Packing Service or White Glove for art and antiques.
- On moving day: reserve parking and elevators, clear hallways, load large items first, sign the inventory, and track everything live with GPS.
- After arrival: personnummer, tax registration, healthcare, BankID, Kivra digital mail, and vehicle steps if importing a car.
Why Denmark→Sweden removals are simpler than you think
Both countries sit in the EU single market. That means most personal household goods move duty free for your own use. The corridor is short, roads are excellent, and Swedish buildings have predictable access rules. Fewer moving parts means fewer delays and cleaner handovers.
You benefit from:
- EU single market rules for typical household effects.
- Øresund region logistics built for frequent cross border moves.
- Clear apartment access rules, elevator booking systems, and quiet hours.
- Crews trained for compact courtyards and heritage stairwells in Malmö, Lund, and Gothenburg.
- Live GPS tracking on every VANonsite load, from first box to final placement.
When it can get tricky
- No lift buildings above the second floor, long carries from street to door, or courtyard height limits.
- Winter weather on E6 and E20 corridors.
- Designer pieces, glass cabinets, or pianos needing special handling.
Share these details early and we will pick the right vehicle, protection, crew, and timing.
Access intel we love
- Elevator size and booking window, stair width and turns, street width, height limits, door codes, and distance from loading bay to door. A few photos save minutes at every step.
Mini case snapshots
- Student move Copenhagen→Lund: 5–10 m³, same day, best with Moving Basic or Moving Medium.
- Family home Frederiksberg→Malmö: 25–35 m³, 1 day, Moving Premium Plus with elevator bookings at both ends.
- Office move Ørestad→Gothenburg: 30 m³+, 1 day with split delivery and evening access window.
Pro tip: If keys are delayed, add short term Storage and split delivery. Book here and note your route: Removals to Denmark.
Documents and registrations for Sweden
If you are an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen, you can live and work in Sweden. For longer stays you register and obtain a personnummer. Non EU citizens usually need a permit first.
Who needs what
- Nordic citizens can live and work in Sweden without a residence permit. For stays of one year or longer, register in the Population Register and apply for a personnummer with Skatteverket.
- EU/EEA and Swiss citizens can move under free movement. If you will stay for a year or more, register and obtain a personnummer with Skatteverket. If you stay for a shorter fixed period, you may be issued a samordningsnummer coordination number for tax and ID purposes.
- Non EU citizens normally apply for the right permit with Migrationsverket before moving. Common routes include work, studies, family, and self employment.
- UK nationals after Brexit are treated as non EU unless covered by Withdrawal Agreement rights. Check Migrationsverket for your category.
Personnummer vs coordination number
- Personnummer follows folkbokföring registration for stays of at least one year. It unlocks everyday services, healthcare benefits, banking, and most digital tools.
- Samordningsnummer supports tax and limited identification needs when you do not qualify for folkbokföring. Some banks and services may still require a personnummer.
Swedish ID card and BankID
- After receiving your personnummer, you can apply for a nationellt ID kort with Skatteverket. Many banks also issue debit cards once KYC is complete.
- BankID is issued by participating banks. It is the key to e services across Sweden. Your bank will guide you on the documents they require.
Social insurance and healthcare
- Register with Försäkringskassan to access Swedish social insurance and benefits after moving to Sweden.
- Choose a local vårdcentral primary care clinic once you are registered. Health guidance and clinic search are available on 1177 Vårdguiden.
Vehicles and driving
- If importing a car or motorcycle, follow Transportstyrelsen for notification, inspection, registration, and any applicable taxes. EU licences are generally valid, yet import rules and timing still apply for vehicles.
Digital post
- Activate Kivra to receive official letters digitally. You can also use the state service Min myndighetspost.
What to prepare
- Passport or ID, tenancy or purchase agreement, job or study letter, and travel bookings.
- Proof of employment or self sufficiency if applicable.
- Digital copies of confirmations from Skatteverket and Migrationsverket.
Arrival sequence that works
- Register address and apply for personnummer with Skatteverket.
- Join Försäkringskassan for benefits and healthcare entitlements.
- Open a bank account and set up BankID once KYC is complete.
- Activate Kivra or Min myndighetspost for digital post.
- If importing a car, follow Transportstyrelsen steps for registration and inspection.
If you are non EU, secure the correct Swedish permit with Migrationsverket before you move.

What you can bring from Denmark
Moving household goods within the EU is typically duty free for personal use. Pack smart, keep receipts for unusual quantities, and know the exceptions.
Allowances and controls
- Alcohol and tobacco: personal use quantities only. If you carry higher amounts, keep receipts and be ready to explain intended use. Guidance: Tullverket customs information and travel allowances: https://www.tullverket.se/, and Skatteverket for tax topics: https://www.skatteverket.se/
- Food and animal products: most items from the EU are fine for personal use. Avoid large bulk quantities and follow storage rules for chilled and frozen goods.
- Plants, soil, seeds: biosecurity rules apply. Check for restrictions and plant passport requirements before moving garden items.
Prohibited or restricted
- Weapons and defensive sprays: tightly regulated in Sweden. Check Polisen guidance before transporting any restricted items: https://polisen.se/
- Fireworks and pyrotechnics: local restrictions apply. When in doubt, do not pack.
- Cultural property and protected species: specialist paperwork may be needed.
Hazardous or sensitive items
- Lithium batteries and e bikes: remove detachable batteries, protect terminals, and declare them to your move coordinator.
- Pressurised containers: aerosols, gas cylinders, paint, and solvents often require special handling or cannot travel.
- Medications: keep in original packaging with prescriptions. For controlled medicines, see Läkemedelsverket: https://www.lakemedelsverket.se/
- Valuables and documents: passports, cash, bonds, heirloom jewelry travel with you, not in the van.
Pets
- Bringing a dog or cat from Denmark? Verify Jordbruksverket rules on ID, microchip, and vaccinations: https://jordbruksverket.se/
Vehicles and bikes
- Importing a car or motorcycle? Review Transportstyrelsen for registration, inspection, and any taxes: https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/
- Bikes and e bikes: remove loose accessories and pack chargers separately.

Packing that protects and speeds things up
Packing well is the quiet superpower of a move. It protects your things, reduces loading time, and keeps the new place calm on day one. Use this blueprint to pack faster and safer.
Essentials
- Double wall boxes, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, stretch film, furniture blankets
- Tape gun, fragile stickers, waterproof marker
- Zip bags for screws and fittings
- Mattress and sofa covers, corner protectors, TV and frame boxes
- Cable ties, painter tape for holding doors and drawers
Best practices
- Pack room by room and label two sides with room and contents.
- Wrap plates vertically and pad gaps.
- Heaviest boxes at the bottom. Split books into small boxes under 15 kg.
- Photograph cable setups. Bag cables, chargers, remotes together.
- Create a Day 1 box with bedding, toiletries, kettle, snacks, and chargers.
- Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes to prevent creasing and speed up setup.
- Roll rugs tight and tape in a cross to prevent unrolling in transit.
Fragile items playbook
- Glassware: two layers of paper, one layer of bubble, stand upright, divider cells if available.
- Mirrors and framed art: X of painter tape on glass, corners protected, rigid art box or crate. Consider White Glove Delivery for valuable pieces.
- Televisions: original box is best. If unavailable, use a TV box, never lay screens flat, keep remotes and cables bagged and taped to the box.
- Ceramics and stone: separate heavy bowls and vases; pad base, sides, and top.
Label like a pro
- Color code by room: kitchen red, living room blue, bedroom green, bathroom yellow, storage grey.
- Add a short code for priority: A for unpack first, B for later, C for storage.
- Number every box and keep a simple list on your phone or spreadsheet.

FAQ
What is the 5 year rule in Sweden?
It usually refers to two ideas. First, EU and EEA citizens gain a permanent right of residence after five years of continuous, lawful residence in Sweden. Second, many people use five years as a general marker for citizenship eligibility, depending on your situation. Always check current details with Migrationsverket and read about registration with Skatteverket.
Links: https://www.migrationsverket.se/ • https://www.skatteverket.se/
Can a Danish citizen live in Sweden?
Yes. As a Nordic citizen, you may live and work in Sweden without a residence permit. If you will stay one year or longer, register in the Population Register and apply for a personnummer with Skatteverket. This unlocks banking, healthcare benefits, and many digital services.
Link: https://www.skatteverket.se/
Which country is better to live, Sweden or Denmark?
It depends on what you value. Denmark often means higher average gross salaries and very short commutes in Copenhagen. Sweden offers more space, diverse housing beyond city centers, generous family benefits, and vast nature close to towns. Visit both sides of Øresund, compare rent, transport, and schools, then run your net budget by role and location.
Are salaries higher in Sweden or Denmark?
Broadly, Denmark reports higher average gross salaries across many sectors. Your take home depends on tax bands, deductions, housing costs, and transport. Compare net calculators and specific offers rather than headline averages.
What is the 50 1 rule in Sweden?
The 51 procentsregeln in Swedish sport requires that member associations control at least 51 percent of a sports company. It protects member ownership in clubs and is not related to immigration or tax.
Can I move to Sweden without a job?
- EU or EEA citizens can move and look for work if self sufficient. Register your address and apply for a personnummer with Skatteverket when eligible. Guidance: Migrationsverket.
- Non EU citizens normally need a permit before moving. Common routes include work, studies, family, or self employment. Start with Migrationsverket for the correct category and documents.

Summary
Your Denmark to Sweden move becomes easy with a precise, human plan. Handle the essentials first. Register your address and apply for a personnummer with Skatteverket. Join Försäkringskassan.

Decide the right van size from 5 to 90 m³, send a quick photo inventory, and confirm elevator bookings and parking at both addresses. Pack with double wall boxes and smart labeling, keep a Day 1 box, and protect fragile pieces or book White Glove for heirlooms.
