Hi, I am Joyce from Pampanga,Philippines but currently based in Malaysia. I would like to ask if anyone know if i can apply schengen visa while waiting for my residence permit  to sweden?coz been waiting for 4 months now until now the decision still pending.

Hi, Joyce!

I think you can apply for schengen visa while you are waiting for your residence permit. Just wanna ask, are you done with the interview in the Consulate of Sweden in Manila? 

I waited 6 months before I got to book my appointment for the interview then the Consulate booked me an appointment date thats going to be 3 months later.  After my interview, I finally received a mail from Migrationsverket that I was granted a residence permit but it took me 6 more months starting from the day of my interview until I received that confirmation.  Overall, I had to wait 15-18 months just to be over with everything and finally got my residence permit card and to be back here in Sweden with all the documents needed with the RP. I arrived here 6 months ago and now I live in Göteborg.

Just be patience. Good luck!

Hi have you try to apply for a tourist visa already? I am planning to apply for a tourist visa but I'm worried it may affect my pending application of residence permit.

Try to contact Consulate of Sweden or the Embassy of Sweden in Manila for any advice and if that would possible. In my opinion, I think its better if you'll just wait until the process of ur permit is done. Less hassle and just be patient.

In my experience, I waited for the interview until I got the mail from Migrationsverket that I was granted a residence permit and after that, I had to go to the Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok, Thailand for the biometrics. That's needed in making the residence permit card. Btw from the day I applied online until I received a mail that I was granted, i waited for 15 months. Pretty long to wait but I have to. Now I'm here in Sweden for 6 months now so Good luck!

Please update here when you finally got the residence permit.

Hi Christa Merry Snape😊
If I understand you correctly, you had your permit granted after one month? That's awesome! I had my interview on Aug 1, all I can do now is wait patiently and hope I get it as fast as you did 😀

Hello..  I applied my residence card on 25july and i granted on 11august. And the card sent on 17th august.  So its less than 1month. Wish you luck. FYI. It was all eassier for me because my husband is english. So its based on article10.
Thanks

Hi I live in Sweden now. I came here with a Schengen visa and after that we seek again to extend it and lucky they give me 6 months more of extension. Now my husband don't want me to go home and we process a paper here for my residency permit. And the migrationsverket invite us to attend an interview this coming October 3. Is this really ok? I am afraid and nervous to their decision. Because as far as I know not allowed to process inside sweden.

No need to be affraid of.  As long as your documents is complete, as long as youand your husband qualified.   they will process it asap.  Good luck

Well I don't know the rules.  But i am processing here in sweden.
My husband said if your husband is swedish, YES.  YOU HAVE TO PROCESS OUTSIDE SWEDEN THAT EASIER. But it still takes time. Only if You and Husband outside sweden then it will be alot easier.

My husband I'd Danish but a Swedish citizen. Do you think this helps in terms of processing times, kinda like how you guys followed the rules based on article 10?

Article 10 only for NON swedish citizen OR EU LAW.  If your husband kept his previews citizenship it might be easier. My husband british, we processed it inside sweden so its fast. But if we processed it in ENGLAND, it will took along time for us.

Thank you!

Hi Christa, congrats on your residence permit. Have applied for residence permit last year in September 18th and I was called for interview on 14th feb but up to now haven't had from migration. We applied from Sweden  after finding out am pregnant but I was told to come back in Uganda for the interview. Now have given birth and the baby is 4 months nothing yet from migration. Have started processing my baby's passport which will take only 2 weeks at Swedish embassy in Uganda. My question,should i apply for tourist visa while my son is on Swedish passport? We really want to spend Christmas with the family. Thanks in advance

Based from what i know is,
1.If you already applied for permit in sweden because your husband is swedish, then YES, you have to be out from sweden until your permit granted.
2.I think yes you can apply for holiday visa while waiting your permit put on hold. Because i have friend had the same like this as well.
Good luck.

Thanks dear Christi. The father of my baby is Swedish but we are not married yet. Do you think they about to get back to me. Does he need to put pressure on my case officer? I don't want my process to be put on hold. I don't know the best option since we want to spend first Christmas with the family which is mostly for my son. Thanks

There's nothing you can do, except just wait. You cannot even pressure the office. Just wait. Maximum 25months. They will get back to you. My friend had to wait about 18months until its granted. Its swedish rules so you have to follow the country rules. My husband is English, i had to wait about 1 week, because we follow EU rules, as my husband not swedish. So Sweden has to follow EU rules.
