Spanish passport holders enter Sweden freely as EU and Schengen citizens. Flights from Spain arrive without passport control. A valid Spanish passport or national ID card is sufficient. No visa, registration, or advance paperwork is needed for any length of stay.
If you plan to live in Sweden longer than 3 months, register with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) to get a personnummer (personal identity number).
