Hey there!

I am a student from Denmark and I want to move to Sweden which won't be a problem for me as an EU citizen. But my boyfriend is a non EU citizen so he can't easily move to Sweden with me...he can stay with me for 3 months there but how long will it take until he get the schengen visa for 3 months? And when he apply for an residence permit how long will that take aswell? If we haven't gotten any answers within the 3 months does he have to go back to his country and wait or can he stay until he get the answer?

Thank you so much in advance!!

Without knowing where he is from, or where he currently resides......it is difficult to answer. But usually he just has to go to another country for 24 hours every 3 months whilst awaiting a resident permit.
Sounds easy enough doesn't it!! Good luck.

Well to get a schengen visa might be so easy.
But to get a permit you need to provide everything as it says as in skatteverket website. And maximum to wait for the permit is 18month to 2 years. But i think i am the only one lucky compares with many peoples who has been apply for it. Which i took only 10 days in total for the decision and permit card sent to my adrress.
