You might have guessed where this story is going by now, that's right, Tim is now a high-paid marketing manager in Ireland.

"I'll gladly recommend anyone interested in moving to Ireland from Sweden to give Sweden to Ireland a try!" - Tim Andersson, Head of Tech corp, Dublin, Ireland.
What went through Tim's head?
As a 32 year old, he wondered if moving to Ireland at his age was the right decision. Of course it was! the silicone valley of Europe just a few hours away from his country of origin was the perfect place to spread his wings. The only question was, how would he go through with it?
How did he go through with it?
Google was Tim's best friend, literally. He spent hours on trying to come across relevant information for Swedes moving to Ireland for a job, but unfortunately most of the sources he found applied to other countries than Sweden. On top of not knowing what all the abbreviations stood for, he found sources stating that he needed a P45, a PPS, insurance as often as he found sources stating the opposite, leaving him very confused.
So why didn't Tim give up?
Tim got a tip from a friend to search for something called "Relocation Assistance".
Finally, he had a term for what he was looking for, a service that would help him:
- Fill out all the paperwork without errors.
- Explain all the abbreviations needed.
- Answer any question related to relocation.
He found Lotta Andersson at SwedenToIreland, a Sweden to Ireland relocation assistance service which was tailored to meet his needs. Having been in Tim's shoes, Lotta could answer all the questions Tim had, the best part was that the conversations could all be held in Swedish!
Where is Tim now?
Tim is now 35 years old, has a wife, two kids and is still living his life to the fullest in Ireland. He has changed jobs two times since moving to Ireland and is now the Head of Tech corp.
Conclusion
Whether it's paperwork, abbreviations or something else stopping you from pursuing your dreams, there are always ways to solve it. The solution could be a friend, family or even Google and hey, if it's anything regarding relocation from Sweden for a job in Ireland, you know where you can turn.
"Using SwedenToIreland was one of the best decisions I've made. It spared me alot of headache and unecessary stress when I was relocating from Sweden for a job in Ireland."
