Me and my English wife just married and want to move to Sweden but we are a bit confused about the way to move and how that should work ? As I am now in Egypt and she is in Uk as she is studying photography in college
also my BA is in Arabic language from Alexandria University in Egypt. and I was thinking of Teaching Arabic but I don't know what qualifications I will need to be a qualified Arabic teacher in Sweden? Do I need something like PGCE but in Sweden btw I don't have PGCE
and how much is the rate for teaching in school for me as Arabic teacher ?
Thanks in Advance
Need some info to move to Sweden with my English wife

Hi.
Sweden is very funny with regards to qualifications from outside of the country.. Lets say you a qualified doctor from you country, when you get to Sweden you will need to study all over again in order to practice which is insane.
So with regards to Arabic, do your research . You might be able to teach privately however for an institution I doubt it but i might be wrong
GOOD LUCK

If I have to study Arabic in Sweden it sounds to be fun as I guess as I did before maybe I will be the best in my class as Arab native who specialise in Arabic LOL
I will do more research on this as it is a 4 years I did and I don't want them to be for nothing if there is no way then fine I will study again and will be the students scientist or so LOL
but still what about the requirements to move to Sweden for me and my wife ?

Hi!
I should thInk twice before going to Sweden. As it has become very politically sensitive for Arabs there.its not a safe place for you.

I think it is the case most of Europe
I know that
but as it's not safe in Egypt to get my wife and I don't feel safe myself because of bombs here and there I wouldnot take my wife to stay in the crazy Egypt plus it's hard to get to the UK for me with the UK restrictions and immigration tuff rules of financial requirements
and she wants to be still close to UK in case of Emergency and Easy access to Egypt as well that why we choose Sweden as option

Honestly, forget it. Your qualification will probably not be recognised in any case. In addition, neither of you has any verifiable connection to Sweden, so why should they accept you as a couple? Your English wife has a perfect right to go to live and work there as she is an EU national, but you do not, not even as her husband. As has been mentioned above, Sweden is not particularly easy for foreigners to settle in right now. Being afraid of "bombs" is no grounds to be allowed into another country, I'm afraid. You might just have to bite the bullet and live in Egypt with your wife somewhere nice and safe such as Mohandiseen.
