Fera93

Hello guys, i wanna know your experince about applying Residence Permit. I'm from indonesia and my Boyfriend is a swedish citizen. I'm gonna apply for a residence permit next week, cause we'll get married next year and of course i'll move there, but i dont wanna apply for a tourist visa cause it's not efficient.  I heard that it takes so long time to get a decision. Please share your experience here and if you dont mind, u can give me some advice.
Thank you so much :):):)

Hi!
It took 6 month for me to get my resident permit. I suggest you apply the visiting visa first.

Fera93

really??? :o when did you apply for it? u were so lucky.. i just applied it a couple days ago. @sariani

Fera93

hi :) havent u received an email from the MV for your interview? @mariamilo

mariamilo

no,i never been interviewed,its always we sent our documents through online..

Sariani4

Yes it is. i applied August 2011 and got it done in January 2012. Since there many people coming to Sweden right now, I believe it will take a little longer. I wish you good luck.

Hey! I'm a filipina and I'm currently residing here in Dubai. I am in a relationship with a Swedish and we've applied online in migrationsverket last November 2015. I have just had a 2hrs worth of interview and I am now waiting for the decision of the migration which could probably take longer than 2 months max. Their timeline is always changing depends on the immigration's situation.

When they have queued me for an interview, they informed me that it won't take less than 5 months to contact me. I was expecting the interview will be the earliest of September but it appears that it was the other way around. I got a confirmation this July that I'm for interview and have just gotten the interview this afternoon.
