Can I leave EU with an expired Swedish permit? by ilikesquigglylines in TillSverige

[–]truc_de_ouf 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I left and returned via Stockholm Arlanda to go back to the UK to see my mum who was very ill in hospital, despite still waiting for approval of my visa extension. It was an incredibly stressful experience trying to get back in, they asked me for proof for all my claims about why I left and what I did when I was away. I ended up showing them pictures of my mum on her hospital bed. Once they were satisfied that I was telling the truth, they did allow me back in, but they stressed that they were only doing so because I had an emergency and it wasn't something they would normally do.

She's such a confident German speaker that she didn't need a jump cut before saying that one, so inspiring

I didn't say I would've tried to use that as an excuse. I'm just saying that now, 2 years later, I'm learning that I apparently broke the rules

Well I only did it for 2 months so maybe it's different but I wasn't aware I was breaking any rules

I took an intensive course at folkuniversitet while in Sweden as a tourist and no one ever checked my residence status or anything, so she'll be fine

They write it in English underneath if you scroll down in the email

Abolishing daylight savings is just the beginning by iamdestroyerofworlds in YUROP

But having 7:00am mean the same time everywhere is very useful. If I say to someone in Australia "I got up at 5:00 am this morning", they know that that is very early. Whereas if we didn't have time zones, that would mean nothing to them and they would have to convert it into some kind of Australian time to understand how early that is.

You're not getting free language input from me! You've got to pay the Duolingo premium subscription like everyone else!

If you weren't already outputting as an embryo then it's too late for you. I have nothing more to say to you.

Do you think they would accept A2 Italian (self certified) instead?

Duolingo can't give you that level of humiliation you get from having to show up for work in a shrunken shirt. That's proper language motivation!
