Sweden - flag Sweden - Family & Partner - Moving to a Swedish citizen

The possibility of obtaining a residence permit depends on your relationship with the family member in Sweden.

Husbands/wives or common law spouses
You are entitled to receive a residence permit if you are married, have entered into a registered partnership or are a common law spouse with someone living in Sweden. However, your application may be rejected if, for example,
your application is based on false information
the relationship is phoney or
if you do not plan to live together.

Future husbands/wives or common law spouses
You can receive a residence permit if you plan to get married or become a common law spouse with someone living in Sweden. However, your application may be rejected if, for example,
your application is based on false information
your relationship is phoney or
your relationship does not appear serious.

Children under 18
If you are under 18, you have the right to be reunited with a parent in Sweden.

Other close relatives
You may, in exceptional cases, obtain a residence permit if you have lived in your country of origin with the relative now resident in Sweden. This category includes children over 18 or parents to the person resident in Sweden.
You must be able to show that you have lived together with your relative immediately before his or her move to Sweden and that you already had a relationship of dependence in your country of origin that makes it difficult to live separately. A relationship of dependence means that you are financially, socially and emotionally dependent on your relative living in Sweden.

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.
