The foreigner has a strong  connection to a family member in Sweden and there is no sufficient reason to require the person to travel to another country to apply.

The Migration Board should pay particular attention to the consequences for a child getting separated from its parent and it is clear that the foreigner should have been granted a permit if he or she would have applied before he or she entered Sweden.  

The amendment also applies to persons with a case of impediments to enforcement (verkställighetshinder). When assessing whether there is particular reasons not to deport a person, the Migration Board should look particular into the consequences for a child to be separated from its parent. It should also be clear that the person would have been granted a permit if the person would have applied before he or she entered Sweden.
