Hey, I'm an Swiss citizen. I'll be a undergrad student at The Univeristy of Gotheburg. For personal reasons, I'll be using a private insurance.
Now, I just had a question about the situation regarding the Residence Permits. I understand that I will have to apply for an RP once I enter Sweden and I'll need a valid insurance for the tenure of my stay for that.
I'll also be covered by the Swedish healthcare scheme once I register at the tax office. Now, what I'm trying to understand is if I could register at the tax office before applying for the RP.
In that case I won't have to buy a private insurance.
