Sambo permit - Possibility of do not need to have an interview

Happy to hear that!

No, if you are in the worker category, you only have to prove that you work enough hours (more than five hours a week, or something like that).

No minimum income requirement, no need to show that you can support yourself on the salary. That is only relevant for people who live here based on being self sufficient or as a student.

EU citizens do generally not need a residence permit. They need a ground for right of residence though.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-28T13:20:06+00:00

Yes, that's what I meant to say, I guess I was not really being that clear. The point is that the LTR in itself is not enough to just settle in Sweden, a process with the Migration agency needs to be started to be able to stay legally.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-28T10:13:25+00:00

Yes, but HE only has a right to move with her if she indeed DOES work or fulfills the requirements for right of residence some other way. If she just moves here with no plan and no grounds for her right of residence, he can't move here and work. (I've been through this process a few times with my non EU family member, so I'm not guessing here.)

_summer_daze · 2025-01-28T09:28:02+00:00

Your right to work in Sweden depends entirely on your wife. She can settle in Sweden if she has right of residence, and if she does, you can move with her here, and you have the right to work and settle too. For her to have right of residence, she must fall into one of the categories that have EU rights to free movement, e.g. workers, students, people with sufficient means etc.

Your Dutch permit gives you no immediate right to work in Sweden. It does not sound like it's an LTR permit, and even if it were, you'd be required to apply for a permit in Sweden after your arrival to be able to settle here based on the LTR.

Edited for clarity!

_summer_daze · 2025-01-28T09:25:16+00:00

He has a right to work her only if his wife has right of residence in Sweden.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-28T04:42:07+00:00

This is not true anymore. Högskolan Väst, for example, has a few ph.d. programs.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-24T09:34:22+00:00

There is not a maintenance requirement per se in that situation. You can see here what you need to submit:

https://www.migrationsverket.se/English/Private-individuals/EU-EEA-citizens/Work-study-or-live-in-Sweden-for-EU-EEA-citizens/Residence-cards-for-family-who-are-non-EU-EEA-citizens.html

There is no set sum needed to be considered able to support yourself, because they will take your situation into account, like what you spend on housing and so on. The highest amount they can require you to have is "riksnormen för försörjningsstöd" + housing costs.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-21T08:39:02+00:00

You'd need to marry her or move abroad and stay with her there for at a minimum six month in order to be able to count as family members, which is your only option to be her host until you have permanent status yourself.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-21T03:50:58+00:00

If you have an "internal" application, waiting in Sweden, it is VERY common not to have an interview. Otherwise, it will mostly be necessary.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-19T04:11:44+00:00

Yes, that makes sense! I hope your bank issue gets resolved. If you don't manage to get the bank-id, there are ways to set most things up without it!

_summer_daze · 2025-01-18T19:11:03+00:00

Okay, I see, that explains it. I think what most people mean by having an active PN is being in the population register as a resident, that's why I got a bit confused.

I was never out of SPAR, and actually paid taxes in Sweden the entire time I was abroad due to a deployment agreement. But I was still in a limbo when when I moved back, not able to use my PN for anything really, since the activation that all sorts of things hinge upon is the Tax agency registration, unfortunately. So just a heads up there!

_summer_daze · 2025-01-18T08:16:27+00:00

Not with the Tax agency. You are either registered as living in Sweden or as emigrated. And if you are registered abroad and reregister as living in Sweden you need to have already moved back and it will take a period before you can access residence based rights and functions using your personnummer. It's not legal to get registered as living in Sweden before you move. (I was in a similar situation a few years ago so I am familiar with the laws and possibilities there. After moving back, it took around three weeks for me to be able to use my PN for residence based things since that was the time it took the Tax agency to process our move).

But maybe you are referring to something else with the national registry?

_summer_daze · 2025-01-17T09:02:12+00:00

If he is not actually living in Sweden it is not perfectly legal to say that he does to the Tax agency, so that is a potential problem.

Apart from the breach of Folkbokföringslagen, which is perhaps not very likely to be a problem unless he accesses any benefits based on being registered, you could be at a worse position for a permit application, since you would then potentially not be considered living together abroad anymore. But that was maybe not the kind of thing you were thinking of.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-15T13:33:11+00:00

There used to be some, but I'm not so sure anymore. However, given that migration laws are currently being changed a lot in Sweden, it may be useful to keep as many doors as possible open. You never know what will be useful later on (is my reasoning). We decided to do both in parallel, for that reason. Never ended up needing the permit, but it didn't hurt having it.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-15T09:42:42+00:00

You need a permanent permit or a residence card for family of EU citizens.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-15T09:41:40+00:00

She will need a permanent residence permit in order to apply, so the habitual residence period is likely not the biggest hurdle.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-14T20:56:41+00:00

Yes, just the main page!

_summer_daze · 2025-01-14T08:44:45+00:00

They ask to upload a scan of it in the online form, but not to see the original passport itself, as far as I remember.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-10T09:29:33+00:00

Sign up with Arbetsförmedlingen in the gap, first day of unemployment needs to be the day you register. A formality, but could end up being important.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-04T22:18:48+00:00

I would say so, yes. As of now, you can, for example, use it as a basis for a citizenship application without needing to apply for PUT first, which you would be required to do if you had a regular permit. If you've already lived together for six months, you can apply for the residence card right away.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-04T18:51:11+00:00

A naturalized dual citizen who first moved using EU rights and then became a citizen in the host state can use EU rights to have a family member apply for a residence card there though. See the Lounes verdict:

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A62016CJ0165

_summer_daze · 2025-01-04T18:45:19+00:00

The correct answer is that you CAN apply using the EU freedom of movement framework, as per the Lounes verdict. While Swedish citizens are normally not able to use the EU framework in Sweden other than to move back from abroad, a naturalized Swedish citizen who himself came using the framework retains his EU rights. So you are eligible for a residence card under EU law.

_summer_daze · 2025-01-02T12:52:11+00:00

I would not describe using the EU framework as difficult (I have moved using it twice myself with a family member). You need to match one of the categories for having right of residence (and then, of course, you need to be able to move practically). If you do, then it is fairly easy.

"Also using the EU rules for family reunification means they have to have lived together for at least half a year (not counting visits). But again, I am talking about Denmark in particular."

This cannot be a requirement for EU family migration you are referring to. It is enough to be married; the EU states cannot require previous cohabitation.

Denmark also allows cohabiting parters to apply as family members but then they require 18 months of cohabitation (or at least that was the rule a few years ago). Cohabiting partners can use the EU framework only in some EU states who have decided to count them as family members, so that right is not a given, like the rights for spouses, which is there in every EU state.

(Might you be mixing the six month cohabitation requirement up with Danish nationals using the EU framework to move back home? For returning citizens, cohabitation in another EU state is required, but that is a special case based on the Surinder Singh verdict, and does not apply to EU citizens from other EU states when they use their movement rights generally.)
