But then again, you can’t get a mobile phone contract or rent a place either. “Free movement” doesn’t really apply.https://twitter.com/aral/status/760100035199660032 …

Without a Swedish personal number, EU citizens residing in Sweden are basically second-rate EU citizens.https://twitter.com/aral/status/760100287394832384 …

I haven’t tried it, but Santander is a bank here in Sweden. Perhaps if you had a UK account, you could “change address” to Sweden?
I have felt your pain though, even though I had a job it took months for me to get the number and I could not be paid until I had it
so I kept using my UK bank card over here and incurred a LOT of charges for using it abroad…
to be fair UK is not much easier for foreigners w/o NI or credit history as far as bankaccounts /mobilephones are concerned
Only hassle when I came over to the UK ~15 years ago was the bank acct. RBS was the only one who helped out then.
such a shame! I better steer clear of Sweden then
