Dubai company setup for Swedish citizens
Swedish citizens who lived in Sweden for a long time can remain tax resident for several years after moving unless they prove no essential connection.
Swedish points to review
- Essential connection: Swedish citizens who have lived in Sweden for at least ten years may be treated as tax resident for five years after moving, unless they show no essential connection to Sweden.
- Shares in Swedish companies: special rules can tax gains on shares for several years after emigration.
- Treaty position: check whether a double tax treaty applies to your income.
Practical points
Swedish citizens can visit the UAE without a prior visa, and Swedish licences can generally be exchanged.
