Tier 2 general is only relevant and applicable for work in the UK. You would need a work visa for sweden to work in Sweden.

Is your current employer an umbrella company?

You should be aware contracting (ie working via an intermediary) on a T2 via an umbrella is illegal....

Different country, different rules, different visa.
