Residence Permit in Sweden 

If you are looking to settle in Sweden on the grounds of kinship or relationship with for example a spouse or another partner, you must first obtain a residence permit. In Sweden, even future spouses and other partners can be granted a residence permit. Children below the age of 18 have a right to reunite with their parents in Sweden provided that the legal guardian has given their written consent. Our immigration lawyers can provide legal help as well as submit the application as your representative.  

Asylum in Sweden 

Anyone who has left their country and is seeking protection from persecution and other serious human rights violations in Sweden is entitled to apply for asylum in Sweden. When you first arrive to Sweden you must register your application. When your application has been registered you will be called to an initial meeting at the Swedish Migration Agency and there you will be able to choose your public lawyer. You can choose one of our lawyers as your public lawyer and then we will be contacted by the Migration Agency to help you with your case. We will ensure that your asylum application is handled with the care and urgency that it needs.
