From the first of June Sweden is changing its rules for entry from the Nordic countries. The Border Police explained for Radio Sweden what this means for people traveling from the Nordics, from the EU/EEA, and from the rest of the world. We also hear what loopholes there are in the system.
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is reminding U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and any domestic legal entity that the deadline to file their annual Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) is still April 15, 2021.
The extension of the federal income tax filing due date and other tax deadlines for individuals to May 17, 2021, does not affect the FBAR requirement.
However, filers missing the April 15 deadline will receive an automatic extension until October 15, 2021, to file the FBAR. They don’t need to request an extension.
We recommend using Taxes for Expats if you can’t manage on your own.

British people resident in Sweden will be able to exchange their UK driving licences for an equivalent Swedish one, without needing to take a test, just as they could when the country was a member of the European Union, the country’s infrastructure ministry has decided.
Sweden last November ruled that British people would continue to be able to use their British licences in Sweden after the transition period ended on December 31st, regardless of whether they are resident in Sweden.It has now gone further, easing the way for Brits to get a Swedish licence.“Sweden and the United Kingdom have a close collaboration that we will continue to develop. Therefore, we are now moving forward with further simplifications of the rules for changing driving licences for the approximately 15,000 Britons who are registered in Sweden,” Sweden’s infrastructure minister Tomas Eneroth said in a press release.
