I'll soon be working on Stockholm. I already have my work and residence permit approved starting on September 17th.
However, I have plans to visit a friend over in Barcelona first (around September 2nd). I have a visa-free entry to Schengen as a tourist (since I have a Chilean passport).
Can I enter the Schengen zone as a tourist first, and then moving over Stockholm to start working after the permit date or do I need to re-enter to activate the work permit?
The relocation agency that is helping me with this process mentioned that there's no problem about it, but the only thing I should consider is that I can't start working before the 17th. I just want to confirm this before buying the plane tickets.
Thanks!
