I think you need to fix your marriage to you ex husband first before you do the first move. You are right, divorce is not allowed in the Philippines but you can file for an annulment.

You can apply for a tourist visa with your two kids before you apply for a resident permit. I think there's no reason for them not to grant you a visa unless you haven't fix your previous marriage.

Yes, you're allowed to apply for a sambo visa if you can prove that you are single. Try to visit their website www.migrationsverket.se

If your denied the first time and he has come to philippines for times.Seek again for visiting visa and fix your marriage issue with your ex.If you Seek for sambo you need to prove that you and your swedish partner you have been living together.I wish you best of luck

You need to get a divorce. And after that you will have to prove relations to sweden and your boyfriend. That he has visited you 4 times is not enough to prove any relations at all. Get a tourist visa for 3 months and be here those 3 months. You will have to do it again, and apply when you are here.

Yes tourist visa can do,you can visit here and those times that your here ask for a personal visit at the immigration, get a schedule,and go there with your bf,they might help you with your case but probably ask you to go back to Philippines to apply for the second time.Good luck its cold here now btw Hope all of you will be granted and be with the love of your life soon too. Keep the hopes up..and don't let frustration bring hesitation or make you give up..
