Sweden - flag Sweden - Family & Partner - Family Reunification Permit

If you wish to move to Sweden to live with a close relative who is already a Swedish resident, you must have a residence permit of your own (on the basis of family reunification). This applies for instance, if you are married, or cohabiting, or you intend to marry, or cohabit with someone who is residing in Sweden, and to unmarried children under the age of 18.

Conditions for applying
- If you are married or cohabiting or intend to marry or cohabit with someone who is permanently resident in Sweden (once you have presented your application, you will be summoned to an interview at the Embassy / Consulate. You will need to bring some form of documentation proving your relationship to the person in Sweden, such as letters, photographs or the marriage certificate)
- If you are under 18 years of age, unmarried and your parents are residents in Sweden (you must be able to show that you lived together in your country of origin/domicile before your parent or parents moved to Sweden)
- If you are a parent or some other close relative of a person who is now resident in Sweden (in exceptional cases, other relatives may qualify for residence permits by reason of family ties. You must be able to show that you lived together with your relative immediately prior to his/her move to Sweden and that you are dependent on that person in such a way that it is difficult for you to live apart. This means that you must be financially, socially or emotionally dependent on the relative who lives in Sweden)
- A relative of a refugee or of a person who has been granted asylum for some other reason can, in exceptional cases, be granted a Swedish residence permit if the two have had a very close relationship, even if they have not lived together in their former country of domicile.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
