Frequently asked questions
Will all family members, who are not able to show passport/identity documents that are accepted in Sweden, now be granted a residence permit due to close family ties?
No, the judgement means that a child who is not able to prove its identity may still be given a residence permit in order to move in with a parent in Sweden. If a DNA test proves that the child and the parent are related, the child can receive a residence permit, despite its identity not being ascertained. This alleviation can also apply to a parent who is applying together with the child, or a parent who would like to move to child who lives in Sweden, if parenthood is proved.
When an adult applies for a residence permit on the grounds of ties to a husband, wife, partner or cohabitee (without the couple having mutual children), the requirement still stands for the applicant to be able to prove his or her identity.
