EU/EEA Citizen's Family Members

As a family member of an EU/EEA citizen exercising their right of free movement in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC, you can get a visa through a facilitated process to travel with your family member or to join him/her in Sweden.

PLEASE NOTE that Swedish citizens living in Sweden are not exercising EU treaty rights and they do therefore not hold a right of residence based on Directive 2004/38/EC in their home country, unless they have recently moved back to Sweden from another EU/EEA country where they were exercising their right of free movement. 

Family members are:

  • Spouse/partner/common law spouse
  • The direct descendants (children) who are under the age of 21 or are dependents, and those of the spouse or partner.
  • The dependent direct relatives in the ascending line (e.g. parents) and those of the spouse or partner.

Basic facts
You can either at the Embassy or at the VFS Global submit your application for a free of charge short-stay Schengen visa (type C) which will permit you to enter Sweden and the Schengen area. If you wish to apply at the Embassy, please send an email to ambassaden.rabat-migration@gov.se. 

If your aim is to settle down in Sweden, you must apply for a residence card for a family member of an EU/EEA citizen within three months from entering Sweden. Please visit the Swedish Migration Agency's website for more information:
