Om familjen också vill ansöka om PUT – AT EN

In order for your family members to be granted residence permits on the grounds that they are your close relatives, and you have now been granted a permanent residence permit, you must meet a maintenance requirement.

Maintenance requirement for the person in Sweden

To get a permanent residence permit, each family member must meet the following requirements:

  • They must have had a residence permit in Sweden for at least three years.
  • Family members who are 18 years of age or older must be able to support themselves financially.
  • They must live a well-behaved life.

Exemptions to this so-called “good conduct qualification” are only made for children under the age of 15.

The Swedish Migration Agency is responsible for considering applications from people who want to live in Sweden, seek protection or become Swedish citizens. Our work is based on Swedish laws and international conventions, with a focus on legal certainty and effective reception and return.
