Moving from Sweden to India: Folkbokföring Exit
Sweden to India return: folkbokföring removal, Skatteverket tax exit, AP pension export, and ISK reporting.
The 60-second version
Swedish exit starts at Skatteverket folkbokföring removal. AP pension statements and final kontrolluppgifter matter for India Schedule FA and Form 67 in your return year.
Folkbokföring removal is your exit timestamp
I notify Skatteverket and remove folkbokföring before leaving Sweden. That date ends unlimited tax liability and starts India Section 6 residency clock.
Employer issues final kontrolluppgift (income statement) — keep for India Form 67 and any Swedish departure-year filing.
ISK (investment savings account) and Swedish mutual funds remain reportable in India Schedule FA after you become ROR.
Nordic cluster: compare Denmark return guide and Norway guide.
