Can I obtain a visa and work permit as a troubadour in Sweden?

Obtaining a visa and work permit to perform as a troubadour in Swedish bars and restaurants is challenging. Generally, foreign musicians need to be employed by a company, such as a hotel or entertainment agency, with substantial paid-up capital (at least 20 million baht). Freelancing is typically not allowed, and there might be cases where musicians are issued work permits under different job titles like Chef or Manager. Advice and experiences from others suggest a complex process, with the need for an employer-based visa.
