As far as I know, children born in Sweden are registered in Skatteverket by hospitals. ... (hide full quote)

You will have to first get a passport for the baby in your country

Then you will need to get a visa from the Swedish embassy for the baby to enter Sweden

Then your will need to register the baby with MV and Skatteverket on arrival

This may take several months to complete

I don't think it is legal to return to work or studies 1 week after a baby is born - I think you are required to be off at least 2 weeks maybe more - most people could not do this anyway - many are still in hospital a week after the birth

it is also common for babies to be several weeks late - especially first babies

Also your wife would need to arrange passports and a visa/UT for the baby to enter Sweden if she is giving birth abroad - possibly DNA will be required as well - therefore I think it is highly unlikely that she will be returning to school a week after the birth even if she felt up to it

It may be best for her to take a studieuppehåll - break from studies - for the term to sort everying out - there will be a lot of paperwork - it is not like giving birth in Sweden ... (hide full quote)

My friend, I guess you forgot that I was talking about Uzbekistan, NOT Sweden Things are totally different there.

She could of course be at home for a while after the birth but, as I said, then she will get a lot of assignments to cover her absence from the university. Again, it's totally different system in my country. One HAS to attend classes and if one misses 3 days, one faces a lot of problems... Alternatively, one has to take study break but that is a year at least. That's why I'm saying that she will have to go back to study asap. We have already lost a year here in Sweden trying to arrange a transfer to Swedish university.

And I really hope you were kidding about DNA test. WTF?! Why do I have to prove that it's my child if I have all documents and IDs needed?!

You seem to think you know a lot of the answers to your queries yourself already, so why did you come to this forum? I tried to help you by saying very clearly that you need permission for your child to enter the country before you do anything else...but you are just not listening.

Then Puffin tried to help you by laying out the exact steps you need to follow-and if Puffin says that's what you need to do, that's what you need to do, as she is very very knowledgeable. Note that she was saying the same thing as me, by the way, so that's two of us have told you that first you need to apply for residence for your child, with MIGRATIONSVERKET before you do anything else here regarding him/her.

I give up.

[azimuth]

OK I give up as well I will follow your advises, check with MV, SV, FK and post what I have found out here. Just one small detail: when you guys are suggesting me to apply for the residence permit for the baby? Right after the birth or closer to the date they will come to visit me in Sweden?

I can't edit the OP, so I will write a bit more details on my plans. Maybe you guys will come up other advises in this case. So my wife went back to my country for 2 years to finish her study there. The baby will be born there and will stay with my wife. I will go to my country close to the birth date and will stay for a month. Then, next summer, both my wife and the baby are coming to visit me to Sweden for a couple of months. After the her graduation in 2014, they will come back to Sweden.

P.S. I by no mean was trying to be rude or something. Sorry if my posts seemed any offensive. I really appreciate your advises but just want to 100% sure about what I need to do.

[azimuth]

This forum has very strange engine which doesn't allow those who wrote posts to edit them...

Anyways, to make the part with Skatteverket clear: I do NOT want to go there and apply for personnummer for the baby (obviously it wouldn't work as the baby has no permit yet). I want to go and report that I got a child in order to MY record to be updated.

Similarly, I did the same when I got married. I showed the marriage certificate and they then updated my record.

So the question is if that is necessary/obligatory. I would assume it is.

[Yorkshireman]

You will only become entitled to föräldrapenning once the child is classed as a Resident in Sweden.

Also, your partner, the expecting mother, should have notified FK that she left the country, and since she is out of the country for a while, when she returns will only be able to claim at the lowest level of payment.

[azimuth]

Hmm but she wasn't even enrolled to FK. Why should we notify FK that she left?

[Puffin]

So my wife went back to my country for 2 years to finish her study there.

You realize that your wife may lose her residence permit in Sweden? If she lives out of Sweden for more than a year it may be revoked unless MV grants her dispensation

[azimuth]

Well I asked in another topic about the residence permit (here) but been told that the permit won't be cancelled...

[Fernandis]

This is true, if if your wife is not registered for FK and is away for more than 6 months or 1 year (confirm with migrationsverket) from sweden, her Residence permit will be cancelled. She must visit at least once in each 6 months period in order to keep her RP valid.

[Puffin]

You should talk to MV and clarify your situation and inform them of what is going on - I know someone who lost their residence permit for working abroad for a year without informing MV

Especially in your wife's case where she intends to leave for a period and the return after 2 years with the child - it would be important to check which rules apply . does she have a UT or PUT? UT can e withdrawn very quickly if she leaves and PUT usually after a year unless you are granted dispensation

[azimuth]

I'm going there tomorrow and will discuss this. Got my own work permit meanwhile so I am very glad

She got UT. If it was PUT, we wouldn't make a step without talking to MV

And withdrawn doesn't mean banned, right? As if, she will be able to apply for UT later and get it. Or?

Thanks for your clarification! I will definitely write what MV will tell me tomorrow

[azimuth]

I have finally discussed this issue with MV. Was today at their office in Gothenburg to leave the biometrics for my UT-card and talked to a guy there. What he did is that he left a comment on my case that my wife is not in Sweden. He said that some case officer will go through the case and decide if my wife's permit should be cancelled. But that won't in any way affect the decisions in the future. As if, we will be able to apply for a short term vise next year and for a residence permit once she is done with her education.

[mångk]

Do you understand what the person from Migrationsverket has told you?

Of course your 'wife' will be able to apply in the future, but that does not mean that they will be automatically approved.
