As the United Kingdom has left the European Union on January 31, 2020, that is why now UK treats European Union citizens and non-European Union citizens equally. So if you are a citizen of Sweden and planning to relocate to UK from Sweden, you will need to pass through the whole immigration process just like a non-EU citizen does. Now the relationship between the EU and the UK is governed by a new agreement on co-operation and trade.
Our immigration lawyers in London can assist you to immigrate from Sweden to UK.

What is the EU settlement scheme?
Being an EU national, if you started living in UK after December 31, 2020, you might have a chance to apply for your permit to stay or move to UK from Sweden if you have a family member with pre-settled or settled status. There are chances that you would join your family in UK, if you apply under the EU Settlement Scheme. You can only apply to join your family member in the UK if you have an EEA or EU Settlement Scheme family permit and a residence card.
You must own a valid work, study, or family visa. You must apply within three months of your arrival in the UK. But if you do not have any of the above documents, the UK authorities will not approve your application from within the country and you have to leave the country for applying from outside the UK.
