Immigration to Sweden and obtaining citizenship in 6 steps

Conditions for immigration to Sweden:

• To be greater than 18 years

Swedish authorities have established a major condition for obtaining Swedish citizenship, which is to be an advanced person of adults, greater than 18 years.

Those authorities put an exception to that rule, namely that parents with Swedish citizenship could claim that their child under the age of 12 had citizenship.

However, if the child is 15 or older, he must live in Sweden for at least three consecutive years in order to obtain citizenship, according to the Swedish Immigration Office.

• Be able to prove your identity
  The applicant should have a passport or similar document with his or her personal picture so that he can obtain citizenship. If it is difficult or difficult to obtain such a document, the person requesting the nationality should be present with persons who lived with him before moving to Sweden , To tell the story of his life and the place where he lives, to begin the authorities to investigate him and if it becomes clear the truth of his speech is granted citizenship.

If you have to stay in Sweden for more than 90 days, whether for work, study, or starting a business, you will need a permanent residence permit. If you are granted permission, the issue of your citizenship will be only a matter of time.
