Applying for a Swedish Personal Number ("personnummer") without a permanent address? Tricky one, but not impossible. Skatteverket typically requires proof of a fixed address to issue one, preferably a long-term contract. If you’re in temporary housing, like a sublet or friend’s place, get a written agreement and try to register it properly. Some cities also have temporary registration options, but they’re quite rare.

We've also heard examples where it might work to register an address at a hotel or similar, but we wouldn't trust that to be a solid option to bring to Skatteverket. Worst case, you might need to wait until you secure something more permanent—so keep pushing on that apartment, room, or house hunt!
