SWEDEN SPOUSE VISA

Sweden, the country of balance and diversity, is also a global top destination, when it comes to higher education. Being among the top education leaders in the world, universities in Sweden use teaching methods based on “freedom with responsibility”. There are plenty of reasons why international students choose Sweden to study a degree course abroad.

If you are a family member of someone who has a residence permit for studies in Sweden at a university or  college, you can get a residence permit for the same period. If the permit is valid for more than six months, you can get a work permit. If you are a family member of someone who has a permanent residence permit in Sweden after four years of doctoral studies, you can get a permanent residence permit.

REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING A RESIDENCE PERMIT

You can apply for a residence permit if

1. The person moving to Sweden to study has a residence permit for studies at a university or a university college
2. you have a valid passport
3. you have your support arranged for the period you are applying for a residence permit
4. you are planning to live in Sweden with the person moving to Sweden to study.

Copies of the pages in your passport which show your personal information, photograph, signature, passport number, passport issuing country, the period of the passport’s validity and whether you have permission to live in countries other than your country of origin. If your passport is about to expire, you should renew it as you cannot obtain a permit for longer than the validity of your passport
