Housing in Sweden.

You can arrange your accommodation yourself or get accommodation assistance from the Migration Service. If you decide to organize your accommodation yourself, you will have to pay the rent yourself.

Please note that the Migration Service has a list of residential areas with social and economic problems. Anyone who decides to live in such an area may lose the right to financial assistance from the Migration Service. You can find out whether the address where you intend to live is located in an area that may affect your right to financial assistance on the website of the Migration Service.

If you have applied for help in finding housing, you will not have the right to independently determine in which region of the country you should live.
