If you are the parent of a child under 18 living in Sweden, you can apply for a residence permit based on family ties to the child. You and the child must have previously lived together and your intention must be for you and the child to live together in Sweden. An application of this type is often assessed under the same rules that apply to applications based on ties to another family member. If you want your application to include children under the age of 18 or if you are applying for a residence permit to live with your child under the age of 18 in Sweden you must submit your application at the embassy. This applies even if your family member in Sweden is a Swedish citizen.
