In order to join your family or relative in Sweden, you must have a residence permit.
Residents of Moldova have until now been referred to the Embassy in Bucharest for applications for residence and work permit. Since Romania now is a part of the Schengen area the Embassy in Bucharest have been exempted from handling migration matters. Applicants residing within the Embassy of Bucharest´s consular jurisdiction is from now instead referred to one of the five so called Schengen hubs that handles all migration matters within the Schengen area.
The Schengen hubs are the following Swedish Embassies:
Athens
Berlin
Madrid
Paris
Rome
This means that if you want to apply for residence or work permit you can choose which of these five Missions you want to handle your application. It also means you can no longer turn to the Embassy in Bucharest for migration matters. Please note that this only applies to applications for residence and work permit. There will be no changes with regards to applications for Schengen visas.
To book an appointment or to contact the Embassy for other questions you can find contact information on swedenabroad.se.
