How to move to Sweden with secondary education?

Hello all Khabrovchane, and just those who are not indifferent who went to the question page. The question is probably more addressed to those who have moved or are at the stage of moving to Sweden.

The situation as a whole is like this.

I am 26 years old, I have a secondary education, as they say, secondary technical, specialization in programming in computer systems, qualification technician-programmer. I thought about immigration to Sweden, as a more or less loyal to emigrants and the most comfortable country in everything (except the weather). Now I work as a technical support specialist, but I plan to move up to a system administrator this year or change direction a bit towards go / phyton, testing or tech writer, and maybe even move into the field of UX / UI design.

So the question is, what are my chances of immigrating to this country with our secondary education, will it be perceived somehow and will I be able to get a work permit, or without higher education, do not even try to move there? Does anyone have successful cases with secondary education or does he know someone who was able to move to Sweden with this education? I will be waiting for an answer. Thank you all)

UPD: In general, thanks for the answers and the time taken, in general, I understood everything from the answers and did not understand anything. I think I've got a definitive answer for myself. Everything turned into some kind of holivar and went the wrong way. In general, the issue can be closed.

There are 2 ways to solve the issue of immigration:
1. If the country is of critical importance, then dance away from it. And do not forget that you can always maneuver. Sweden does not give a work visa without higher education? Get an educational and get a bachelor there. Have a job offer? - Then we are looking for loopholes in specialized forums. Often there are forms of exceptions - as a unique specialist. Or they arrange you in a branch (let's say Cyprus), and after half a year they transfer you to Sweden. But you need to understand that such a move is possible with a serious interest from a potential employer.
2. Several countries? Then dance from your case. Remove worries about education. It will not play a key role. Play to your strengths.
In all my life I have not seen a person who purposefully, responsibly and diligently worked on immigration (more often according to option 2) and could not implement his plan in 3-5 years. So believe in yourself

If my memory serves me, Sweden is one of the few EU countries that only issue work visas to graduates. Moreover, not every university diploma is still suitable. So the choice of the purpose of immigration is not very successful. In addition, labor immigration works well for those who are aggressively hunted, and if no one wants it in their home country, then even more so in other countries.

in order to emigrate to any country, you need to be able to legally stay on its territory for a long time.
1. visa
2. residence permit
3. refugee status
4. political asylum
5. citizenship
Each country has its own rules for obtaining the appropriate status. open the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sweden and read.

There is not much education.

I have a secondary education, as they say, secondary technical

It's either the first or the second. In general, you can immigrate with virtually no brains - only the chances are small.
I work as a technical support specialist

Sounds loud. Most likely you graduated from college where, instead of education, you kicked it is known that I am now you are an operator.
but I plan to grow this year

So here's the question

I will be waiting for an answer

You plan a lot, ask questions and wait. And it would be worth moving. You are already 26, i.e. 8-9 years have passed since graduation from school ...
And be more correct. If you had at least a secondary education, you would have easily been able to immigrate. In fact, you only have a diploma about him.

And what difference does it make what kind of education you have, I have traveled around the world everywhere full of our emigrants in general, purely with a school education, even in Sweden.

I had a similar situation. I had a free software education, a programmer. Planned to move to Canada.
It all ended with the fact that he stayed in the Russian Federation, got married, had his first child, second, third, work, study.
Periodically compared the pros and cons. There were thoughts of moving with the family. But the more he thought, fantasized more precisely, the more and solid "overgrown" in the Russian Federation (apartment, cottage, education, subsidies, etc.).
He stayed because the advantages of the Russian Federation outweighed. The salary is much higher. More benefits. And abroad, you start from scratch, you are nobody, there are many nuances, maybe not everything goes well and it will be difficult to return back, the entry threshold is high, as are the risks. Most of all, the mentality gradually began to repel, all sorts of stories with lgbt and blackmatter, which begin to be sold from a young age into children's heads.
Look at those who move from other countries to the Russian Federation, how they adapt, how they are treated. Not so simple.
For a developer, the most correct thing would be to complete a remote internship, start working for a company remotely or in a representative office in the Russian Federation, receive an invitation and then move on. Everyone I know who successfully moved to Canada, Germany, the States, all through an invitation.
Education by and large does not count, except for some universities. Nobody needs your SPO. In any case, it will be necessary to study at their college for 2-4 years (combining with work).

I would like to reply to all comments. Yes, I only have a 4-year college diploma about secondary education, and now my position is not the highest in IT. Until some time I did not think about moving, but now I think about it. I wanted to know who had already moved with a similar case, and I understand that there is little experience and I am going to build it up and get it, but will education become an obstacle when moving? Maybe it just doesn't make sense to prepare now to move to this country, but to do either higher education or choose another country, for example, Poland, the Czech Republic, etc.
