Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

The right comes from Swiss citizenship: a citizen of Switzerland can move to Sweden to work, study, start their own business or live on their own funds, and has the right to start working or studying on arrival without waiting for the residence-permit decision.

Limits of the record
  • The captured page does not name the underlying legal instrument (the EU–Swiss agreement on free movement of persons).

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

A Swiss citizen may reside as an employee, as a self-employed person running their own business, as a person with sufficient funds to support themselves, or as a provider/recipient of a service; they must work, run a business, study or have sufficient funds, and be able to support themselves.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: C4 says only 'You must do this at a Swedish embassy...' with no subject; the passport/ID-presentation claim is not in any citation (the preceding sentence was cut).)

Which non-member-country family members can accompany or join, and what broad rights do they receive?

For workers, self-employed persons, self-funded persons and service providers/recipients, family members are the partner (spouse, cohabiting or registered partner), their or the partner’s unmarried children under 21, children over 21 and ascendants to whom they have a maintenance obligation; other relatives may get a permit for the same period if there is a maintenance obligation or shared household. Family can apply at the same time and can start working or studying on arrival without waiting for a decision. Family members who need an entry visa must obtain it before entering.
