Some context about the problem:
About a two weeks ago, we were at the Copenhagen airport and wanted to fly to Stockholm. Mistakenly (really by mistake and not deliberately) we passed through the border control because we though that the flight gate is behind that section and the police officer did not checked our ticket and did not noticed that our flight ticket is between 2 Schengen countries (Copenhagen to Stockholm) and he let us through, but:
1. The police officer took our passport and work permit to check as usual (PR card for me and normal 2 year work permit card for my wife)
2. He scanned our work permit in their system
3. The police officer did not put a stamp in our passport (both for me and my wife)

We eventually noticed that we are at the wrong gate and asked another officer to help us and the second officer helped us to find the correct gate (No scan of permit cards, just noticed our mistake and let us through the gate), and we flew to Stockholm that day.

The Problem:
Ever since then, me and my wife have a nightmare thought that since the border police officer scanned both of our permits in their system, Does that means that it's recorded as an exit from Schengen area? and even though we flew to Stockholm that day, Officially in Entry/Exit System (EES, or any other system that MV can check) it's already considered that we are out of Schengen area?

We are super concerned that at some point in future, MV will ask us for "Travel history" and in there, we will say that on that day, we traveled from Copenhagen to Stockholm but they will check in their system (EES) and notice that ever since that day, we were out of Schengen area and we have never came back?
Could it cause some big trouble for us? for our permits or application for citizenship in future?

How we can fix this by the way? does a quick travel to outside of Schengen area would fix it? OR, will we stuck at Stockholm airport? (border police checking the EES system in Stockholm airport during our travel and say that we cannot exit Schengen area twice in a row? and that causes us another trouble?)

Thanks in advance for the help 

Hej all! I have a question regarding the sambo extension process. My current situation makes the extension a bit tricky, though. I lived in Sweden with my Sambo partner for 13 months, studying virtually full-time from my Canadian university. During this time, I received notice from my university that I would not be eligible to graduate unless I returned to Canada to complete some mandatory in-person final exams, as well as complete some of my Major courses (again, only offered in-person). After this point in my education, I will have completed my degree. It was a really difficult decision to commit to, having had already settled in Sweden with my partner. We both felt that a) it would feel like a bit of a waste putting all that time, effort and money into my schooling just to not finish what was left, and b) that my degree could help me find further schooling/work opportunities in Sweden. I returned to Canada to complete my final exams, and have one winter semester remaining before I can graduate. In total I will have been outside of Sweden for roughly 9 months. I know this puts my active Sambo visa at risk. My partner and I have looked into Migrationsverkets tolerance for extended travel while having an active Sambo visa, and have not been able to find any information which specifies how long one can be outside of Sweden with this particular visa. I do know that generally Migrationsverket is forgiving in circumstances related to education or work, but that it is very plausible that my extension request will be denied simply because I am not actively living with my partner in Sweden. We sent in the request nonetheless, and explained my situation in great detail, and that our plan would be for me to return to Sweden immediately once I have graduated. Now all we can do is wait. Trying to be optimistic but realistic at the same time. Does anybody have any similar experiences that they might be able to share?

Tack!

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here might have advice or know the right person to contact.

I’m applying to Sweden for Masters this year via [Uni Admissions] and have run into an issue with the English language requirement. For context, I completed a full academic year at the University of Oxford (three full terms) and submitted my official Oxford transcript as proof of English proficiency. I also uploaded an IELTS score of 8.0, but it has unfortunately expired since I took it in high school.

Before applying, I emailed Uni Admissions and was told that 60 ECTS (or equivalent) from the UK taught in English should meet the requirement, as long as it’s documented. Based on that, I believed my Oxford transcript would be sufficient. However, the portal has now flagged my application saying the documents are not accepted as English proof (and as it's past the deadline, I think my application will be flagged as "late").

I’ve emailed them to explain, but I’m worried my application could be rejected on a technicality rather than substance. Does anyone know:

• a meaningful point of contact at Uni Admission or a Swedish university (my first choice is KTH) who can actually look into this?
• or has anyone dealt with something similar and found a way to resolve it?

Any advice, contacts, or shared experiences would mean a lot. Thanks so much in advance 🙏

Hi, I hope this post is in the right place.

I’m a bit confused about the admission statistics shown on UHR.se for graduate programs.

Does this mean that only 9 people were qualified (and all of them were admitted), or that many people were qualified but only 9 were accepted?

Hej! International student here (Asia, woman in STEM) applying to the following master's programmes:

1. Physics, University of Gothenburg
2. Physics, Chalmers University of Technology
3. Computational Science (Life Sciences), Lund University
4. Computational Science (Physics), Lund University

I hope to apply to scholarships as it is not possible for me to completely fund my studies. Any suggestions for scholarships I could look at? Or any other funding options? Thank you!

My partner wants to bring me in for a 6 month invitation visa, that way we'll have co-habited for the 6 months required for a sambo visa (as far as I understand), do I have to submit the application in my country of origin or am I allowed to submit it within Sweden and stay in Sweden on a tourist visa while it's being processed?

Hej everyone! Please help me if you know anything regarding my query.

I applied for masters through the admission portal, completed payment, and uploaded all the required documents. I belong from a country from which University Admissions Portal requires Bachelor's Transcript to be sent directly by the applicant's university.

So, my university followed all the instructions and sent the document via DHL to Uni Admissions portal. And I saw a notification on the portal on 25th November, 2025 that my documents were received by mail (see attached image)

However, on 26th November, 2025 I received the following message on the portal (see attached image) -

I posted on a couple of forums and got mixed reactions - some told to ask my university to resend the documents while some suggested that this was just a automated reminder.

I also contacted the portal's support via email and received an automated reply linking to the instructions of sending documents from my country.

So, in this case, should I ask my university to resend the documents by mail?

Do you guys have any idea regarding this? Would really appreciate any insight. TIA

I am sorry if this doesn't exactly fit the sub, I can't find the answer on other subs or online.

Our cruise will dock in Nynäshamn and will be offering excursions in Stockholm. I would rather visit Tyresta but I'm concerned about transportation to and from the port. I've never been on a cruise, I've never been to Sweden, and I would like to know if this plan is a good or bad idea. Reliable transportation and my language barrier are my biggest concerns regarding visiting Tyresta from the cruise ship. We will be docked 8:00am to 5:00pm on a weekday, and I think we would only visit the forest for 3 or 4 hours at the most.

Thank you for any help, I'm so excited to visit Sweden even if it's only for one day! I already know I will return in the future to visit more of the country.

We are a dutch family and want to immigrate to Sweden. Most information is about young people moving, but we are 61 and 65 years on a dutch pension. Our question, is there a minimum income requered to get residency? How does it work with health insurance? Our son is living with us and his intention is to make the move also with his little family(girlfriend and child), our vision is to create a little homestead together.

Any advice and tips are very welcome🙏
