Welcome House Sollefteå

Hello and welcome to Sollefteå municipality! We are happy to help you in your moving process, job hunting acitivites and how to settle for a long term life here. In Swedish we call this welcome service "Inflyttarservice", but let's call it Welcome House. But it's not really a house, it's an effort - and our way to reach out a hand to everyone moving from another country.
Welcome to Sollefteå - powered by nature and people.

Visit the companies before applying for jobs - great way to start and show who you are and what you want!
Visit Sollefteå beforehand - great way to research and get a sense of the place.
There are many great checklists and guides out there, for example on sweden.se:
Be open - it really helps with the integration if you talk to people, initiate gatherings and accept invitations.
