How to get Swedish driving license for non-EU citizens (Step by step)

[@amyassin]

Thank you for sharing your experience! From the future here :) it is now mandatory to pass the theory test first before taking the practical one..

[@Aly_McCan]

Thank you so much for the informative video! I hope to join you as a Swedish driver here soon.

[@abrahamzetz]

Thanks for watching! Good luck to you!!

[@DoraKage]

wait wait. so every time you failed you went to a different city to try to retake a test?

[@abrahamzetz]

Yes, for me that was the case. There was simply no free slots for me to retake the test in the same city, and if you only pass the theory, you have to pass the practical exam within 2 months, otherwise you have to retake both. The same thing with passing only practical and failing theory. In my case I had to do it in different places. Though in the end I decided to take a few months pause before retaking both exams.

Thanks for sharing your story. Very helpful! Did you give the driving test in english? If not, did you come across the option of having the driving test in English (where the instructor communicates in English)?

[@abrahamzetz]

Hi Omair! I'm glad that you found this video helpful :) You can choose to have the theory test in English when you register and for the driving exam, you can try to speak English with the instructor. If your instructor can speak English (most Swedes can, so hopefully your instructor can) they will speak English with you. On some of the tests that I failed I spoke Swedish to the instructor but I happened to speak English during the test that I passed :) Good luck on getting your driving license!

Thank you for sharing your story. What I learned is that you have the strong determination and you never give up. I hope I can pass all the test.

[@abrahamzetz]

Thanks Rajani! For some people it’s easy, for me it’s a bit hard, but in the end I managed to pass it in the end. Good luck on getting the license!

[@rajaninavida8410]

I agree with you, it's a bit hard. Thanks for the encouragement. When I watched your video, the only question on my mind is that how many times you fail, sorry to say not meant to offend you, but I like the word "DETERMINATION", again thanks for the encouragement👍

[@awaissallu]

Failed three times in a row, with the same reason that I am not attentive enough. I think I have to spend more money on lessons :(

[@abrahamzetz]

Awais Salman so sad to hear that :( hope it goes better for you!

[@awaissallu]

Passed...yayyy

[@mithra5750]

You are my inspiration. Thanks for Sharing ur experience. I cleared third time in theory. But yet to pass in my practice test.

[@abrahamzetz]

Thanks for the kind words Mithra. I wish you the best in your practical test!

[@anastasiam1797]

I passed the theory test today! However I tried looking for the driving test, there is not any available time in the whole Stockholm area 😭

[@abrahamzetz]

Congratulations! Yes, it could be quite tricky and the only way sometimes is to do the test somewhere else. If you do, my recommendation is Västerås.

[@Key2DL]

Excellent one. Thanks

[@abrahamzetz]

Thanks!

[@mikuelable]

Holy shit driving exams are much easier in my country and cheaper if I convert swedish kroner

[@abrahamzetz]

Sweden is one of the most difficult countries to get a driving license in. If you’re an EU citizen you can convert your national driving license into a Swedish one but otherwise you need to take the exam. And yes, the exam is super expensive here.

[@udokafestus5433]

Thanks a lot. That korkortonline.se program helped a great deal

[@abrahamzetz]

Thanks for watching! Good luck on getting your driving license!

[@abrahamzetz]

[@safitukmani4548]

Good job bro 😎

[@abrahamzetz]

Thank you!

[@xeramlde5796]

Hello, manual and automatic which one is best to learn

[@abrahamzetz]

Xera mlde I think it’s best to learn manual since it’s gonna come in handy in any situation and also, with manual license you can drive automatic but not the other way around. However, if you are absolutely certain that you’re never gonna drive manual, then go for automatic.

[@xeramlde5796]

@@abrahamzetz thank u sooo much I will go for automatic

[@abrahamzetz]

Best of luck!

[@DoraKage]

Do these steps apply to Motorcycle License as well?

[@abrahamzetz]

Sorry but I’m not sure about that since I only took the personal car license. My guess is that the majority of the steps would be similar. Best to check with Transportstyrelsen.

[@glockworks]

I have failed my driver test three times now and no matter how much I try to act like I don't care it still really hurts but this video boosted my confidence! I'm never gonna give up until I get my license

[@abrahamzetz]

Good luck! Hope you make it next time!

[@glockworks]

@@abrahamzetz I just passed today and I feel so relieved

[@ivannovanto7721]

very informative video. Can you add subtitle in the video? because english is not my strong subject, thanks in advance.

[@abrahamzetz]

Hi Ivan, thank you! KZbin provides an automatic captions in English (though it's not perfect) that you can use by clicking on the CC button. If you were wondering about subtitles in other languages, I'm afraid I'm unable to fulfil your wish.

[@greg4529]

Nice info bram!

[@abrahamzetz]

semoga membantu ya

Are you from Hokkien?

[@abrahamzetz]

I was born and raised in Bali, Indonesia but my ancestors are Hokkien.

[@michaelgee0522]

Hey Abraham did you have your risk 2 in english? do they have it in english? thanks!

[@abrahamzetz]

Hi Michael, I did my risk 2 in Swedish. It was mostly practical so one does not need to be super fluent in Swedish to do it. Otherwise, I was told that there's an option to have risk 2 in English. Please check with your driving school or the risk 2 provider if they can do it in English. Best of luck!

[@michaelgee0522]

Abraham Setiawan Zheng Thank you for the info.. 👍👍👍

Are you sitting in toilet? I can't hear you nothing.

[@abrahamzetz]

Khan Sikandar hi Khan. No, I wasn’t sitting in the toilet. 8.500 other people could hear me just fine. Are you sure your device audio is set properly?
