Hey guys, I just want to shun all your worries and have trust in the process. Yes, part of the process and I think the entirety of it is “waiting and being patient.” But, hey I think my story will shed light and hope to people who are applying for Residence Permit Visa this year (2019) ❤️
I decided to undergo in this process because I am currently dating (now a fiancé) to a Swede. We are both 23, quite very young but we made it and so can you!
We have visited each other 5 times in a span of 2 years. Most of our stays are quite lengthy and we’ve traveled to a lot of places. You may wonder why I’m mentioning this but my point is, try saving all photos, hotel bookings and all possible legit documents you can have for this permit. And, as much as you can try to visit each other more than one or 2 times.
Here’s the time lapse of our RP process.
3rd of March- we applied online through Migrationsverket website
2nd week of April - we received an email to provide additional documents
1st week of May- we received an email to book an interview in BKK
(June to August I traveled to Sweden so we booked an interview in September)
9th of September - did my interview
13th of September - received an email to send additional info
16th of September - received an email that a decision has been made
17th of September (morning) -sent a message to the embassy of Bangkok about the decision
17th of September (noon)- received an email that our Permit is approved and we need to wait for a month to get it in BKK (huraaay!)
If I did not go to Sweden around June, the entire process would have taken 5 months only. So have faith!
So long as both you and your partner have these, everything will be sureball:
1. Credible relationship which can be shown through: (pictures, visitations, airplane tickets, bookings, etc)
2. Apartment in Sweden and good income (for your Swede partner)
3. Complete documents
4. Patience
If you really want to know what documents we compiled, here are some:
Note: Do take note that I am a single Filipina, it may vary if you’re from another country and your marital status. Always check Migrationsverket because it is much better, this is just our experience of the process and the documents we were asked.
During application:
1. CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage/ online application)- Since I am single
2. Scanned passport (front page and used pages w/ stamps if there are)
3. Online Payment (around 6 to 8k)
Note: I forgot the documents for the Swede partner to submit during the online application but it's somehow equivalent to what I've passed
Days after the submission of the application:
For your Swede partner let them prepare these because the Migration Authority want these for additional documents after you send in your application.
(Note: I think it is case to case basis but it is good to be prepared. Also, some letters are accented and my computer doesn't support is but just tell them these they probably know it )
1. Personbrevis
2. Folkbokforing
3. Hyresavi
4. Kopebevis
5. Lonespec
6. Resekostnader
7. Oversikt lan
During the Interview:
MUST DO: Try to know the following
1. Birthdays and ages of you and your partner's mother, father and siblings
2. Also, in addition to #1, know where they live in Sweden and their jobs.
3. Memorize all the dates of your trips and places where you went
4. They'll ask you about the questions you've already answered on the application so might as well read it.
5. Obviously, know your partners name birthday, address and work.
After the Interview:
Also, try preparing a softcopy of the documents below because they might send an email to you to send these additional info days after your interview. You can also bring a hardcopy of all these during the interview in BKK so that they may not ask you for additional info days after the interview:
1. PDF of your pictures
2. PDF of your passport (front and used pages)
3. PDF of all your hotel bookings
4. PDF of your chat logs and call logs
5. PDF of all your airline tickets.
That’s it! Voila!
❤️ If you have any questions please don’t be scared to drop me a message on my instagram: ***. I am also Bisaya so okay ra gyud magbinisaya, tinabangay lang ta ❤️❤️❤️
