I have Swedish residence card, and it states that I have work permit in Sweden, I am wondering can I work in other EU countries as well? Or I have to apply for the work permit in that country again? Thanks!

Thanks Wanderer!
Another question is what if I have a work permit in one country, for example Germany, am I still only allowed to work in Germany? what if the properties of the job includes travelling in different European countries?

You'll need a WP for each country unless the country participates in Van Der Elst visa regime - Germany does but I don't know about others.

Hey, I would like to ask you under which grounds you got your residence permit in Sweden. Which country of origin are you from?

So did you come to Sweden on student visa? Was the grounds of your RC partnership?

I believe NO, you will not need further documents to enter or work in other EU states. My personal experience, I am a non EU member married to a Germany and have a German residence card. I could enter and work in almost all the EU countries apart from UK using my German residence card. (Remember they share data) Some countries might require registration after 3 months but that i don't know much.

This is only true if the non-EEA family member is accompanied by his/her spouse.

Where is your employer, and where are you being paid?

Tell me about the kind of travelling you are doing to different European countries? How often and for how long? What will you be doing?

Can you please tell me how long did it take before you got the card, also, should financial support come from the applicant or the EU spouse. In my case , I have shown that I have job in sweden. i have applied for 5 years period.
