Applying for a permit to live with a close relative in Sweden

On the following pages you can find information about how to apply for a residence permit in order to live with a close relative in Sweden, and what the requirements are for such a permit.

You can apply in several ways


How you do it depends on several things. For example, what citizenship you have, and what citizenship your family member in Sweden has. In order for you to find the information which is relevant for you, we have divided the information into several different pages.

If you are a close relative of a person who is applying for a permit to work or study in Sweden, or who is already in Sweden with a temporary residence permit for work or studies, other rules apply. You can find the information you need on the pages Working in Sweden - Family members or Studying in Sweden - University or college.

Apply online


You can now submit an online application to move to a family member in Sweden here on the web site. More information on how to apply can be found under Online application.
