In the minds of many Russians, Sweden is an example of a calm, prosperous and comfortable country for life. However, with immigration to this stronghold of well-being for non-EU citizens, things are very difficult. But this does not mean that the move is impossible. There are several completely legal ways to stay in Sweden forever, to obtain a residence permit, a work permit, and subsequently citizenship.
It is necessary
- - passport of a citizen of Russia;
- - a valid passport;
- - access to the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
There is a very limited list of routes for moving to Sweden on a legal basis. All of them are listed on the official website of the Swedish Embassy. According to the law, family members of citizens of this country (husbands, wives, minor children), students entering Swedish universities, researchers who have received invitations from universities or laboratories, as well as persons starting their own business in Sweden have the right to live in Sweden. … Please note that the last three categories only receive a temporary residence permit.
Step 2
The main point for everyone who wants to leave is learning Swedish. Keep in mind that even getting the entry level requires at least a year of intensive classes. As you learn a language, try on the possible options for immigration. Please note that your application for an entry visa will be seriously considered by the embassy and if the reason for your departure is not convincing, you will be denied. The main question you will be asked is "Why do you want to leave for Sweden"? Think about how compelling your case will be. For example, if you plan to conduct scientific work, its topic should be directly related to that country. Look at the reason for leaving through the eyes of an embassy worker - would you be convinced by your own reasons?
Step 3
It is more difficult to go to Sweden to study than to some other countries. Education is paid here, for admission you need a very good English language (when it comes to business schools) and, most importantly, a certain level of knowledge of Swedish. For many universities, the Swedish language is a prerequisite for admission. If you are opting for a student visa, you need a bachelor's degree from one of the Russian universities. You must choose an educational institution (a list of them can be found, for example, on the official website of the Swedish Embassy), write a motivation letter to its address and receive confirmation of enrollment. Swedish students are eligible to apply for a scholarship - public or private. You can apply for a scholarship in parallel with your choice of university.
Step 4
The most popular option for women is immigration through marriage. To do this, you must marry a citizen of Sweden in Russia, or enter Sweden in the status of a bride. Two years after the registration of marriage, the wife of a citizen of Sweden receives a permanent residence permit in this country. If she has minor children, after marriage registration she will be able to transport them to Sweden under the family reunification program.
Step 5
Another option for moving is to acquire citizenship of any other EU country. Select a country that is considering issuing a permanent residence permit based on the purchase of real estate - for example, Greece or Cyprus. By acquiring the citizenship of this country, you have the right to enter Sweden legally.
