Look at the proper websites yourself to confirm that the information given here is still up to date and accurate. The buck stops with you. Don’t expect your vet to know any of the requirements. You need to become the expert. It can take months to get the papers in order, so start early.

Sweden has different rules then EU. Depending on where you are coming in (Copenhagen or Stockholm), make sure you check out the different regulations. The differences are really minor. There is no ‘check point’ coming from Denmark to Sweden.

Consul Jonas I. Wechsler will be in Gothenburg from September 1 to September 3 to take applications for reports of births and passports, and to notarize do*****ents that will be used in the U.S. Please note that we will not be able to accept applications for immigrant visas.

Warden Message: Overseas Absentee Voting

The General Election is on November 4, 2008.

Act now to register to vote and request an absentee ballot for the 2008 presidential and general elections!

So, look for an announcement soon, after we have run the new version through the rigors of our testing environment, that the site will be taken down to implement the upgrade.

Current: 1500 SEK
Goal: 1500 SEK

Yay! We have reached our goal with the help of eight anonymous donors. Thanks so much!

____________

Those who've been here a while know what this is. It's an annual thing this time of year, started by the founder of the site, Flame. I am continuing on in that tradition, since Amerikanska is really your site.

Amerikanska is a non-profit and ad-free site. All work on the site is done voluntarily.

However, hosting a website costs money.

Currently, it's 1500 SEK per year. That includes costs for hosting the site and the domain, which comes due again in September. We had been talking about moving the website to another host, but decided that the excellent service provided by Datakultur could not be rivaled.

If you're able, please help keep Amerikanska going with a donation to help cover these costs. All donations go to the cost of hosting only, no one is paid to maintain it, not even myself. Only a maximum of 1500:- in donations will be accepted. In the event it happens to go over that, additional donations will be held to pay for the domain name and/or held for next year's costs.

Donations are voluntary, helping to keep the site both ad-free and free to use, which it has been since 2001.
