We’re hoping to use your answers to build a comprehensive list of all the problems, from the obvious ones around citizenship and residency, to the unexpected complications that make life a little harder. 

And if Brexit has brought you any benefits, either expected or surprising, we’d like to hear about those too.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Reader photos of the week: Celebrating the arrival of spring in Sweden

Every week, The Local invites readers to submit their pictures to our photo competition, to bring our audience together from all parts of Sweden.

Reader photos of the week: Celebrating the arrival of spring in Sweden

This week’s winner, featured above, is Aimee Clark. She told The Local she and her family hung out with lambs at Gunnes gård in Upplands Väsby. She says it’s a “free to enter Viking farm where they have free range sheep”.

We got so many good pictures this week of readers celebrating Walpurgis Day – when Swedes light bonfires to welcome the start of spring – so we included a few more honourable mentions below.
