If you want to move to Sweden to live with your family or a close relative, you need a residence permit. The Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok is responsible for applications when the applicant is legally residing in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan or Malaysia.
Applying and interview
Apply for residence permit in Sweden online through the Swedish Migration Agency’s website.
Once you have received an email from the Swedish Migration Agency, please contact the Embassy to book an interview appointment. You must schedule your interview by sending an email to: migration.bangkok@gov.se. You cannot book an appointment via phone.
In your email, please include your personal details as well as your case number. If you are unable to communicate in English, Swedish, or Thai, an interpreter must be present during the interview. Inform the Embassy when booking your appointment if you require an interpreter and specify the language needed.
Fees
These are the applicable fees for moving to someone in Sweden.
All interview appointments for family reunification are arranged through the Embassy and are free of charge. The Embassy is not connected in any way to individuals who offer such services for payment, and no external agency can influence the waiting time. If, for any reason, you are unable to submit your application online, you may issue the power of attorney to the person you are moving to. He or she can then complete and submit the application for you via the e‑service.
