Hi, I am a British Citizen who has recently applied for a Residence Permit. Currently, as an EU Citizen, I am allowed to apply and stay in Sweden as the permit processes. However as most of the world knows at the moment, Britain is leaving the European Union. While the UK has offered settled status for EU citizens, the EU has not guaranteed anything for UK citizens abroad. While I currently reside in Sweden I am under the guise I can stay while my permit processes and me and boyfriend are cohabiting, in order to a woman at the Migrationsverket.

My case is that me and my Swedish boyfriend, and we are 18 and 21 respectively. We have been together since February 2018, introduced through mutual friends, although we were long distance from February till September, when I decided to move in and apply for a residence permit. I have visited Sweden 3 times for a total of 33 days across all times in Sweden, and a total of聽 visited his family and extended family that life up in Northern Sweden, and he has met my family as well.聽 My boyfriend has a job that can financially support us both, while I sort out getting my personnummer in order to study Swedish to get a qualification, to study in order to hopefully become an English teacher. We have our own rented house with more than enough house space and fulfils all requirements with a contract that has my name in it. So we fulfil the house and maintenance requirements and there is a document proving we live together. My application is complete, and after a visit to the Migration office, I was met with a warm reception that everything should be okay, which calmed me.


In a sense, this is my last chance to live with him before Brexit, and I want to assure myself it will be fine, if it is. I have seen many say they have been refused under not being serious enough, which I worry is true since we only got together in February, were long distance and we intend to live sambo until we decide to get engaged or married, we are not married nor have any kids. Therefore I feel anxious that we are being seen in a non serious light, therefore will be denied a permit. Also, my Swedish is sub-par. Since I know German as well, I can read half of written Swedish, and pick up words easier as Swedish to me is a weird bridge language between German and English. Since I recently got my qualification in German, I did not want to harm my studies by studying one language dangerously similar to the other at the same time. So while we fulfil the requirements to live, culturally I feel like I am not up to scratch yet, which is being stopped partly by the uncertainty over residence permits.


I do not want to rush anything. Doing so would feel unnatural to me, to him, and possibly even to Migrationsverket. However there is an overarching fear of a no deal Brexit. It has been stated that
'UK citizens living in EU countries legally will be allowed to stay'.
Since I have applied for a residence permit, am I 'legally' in the country under EU laws, even when the EU leaves? Are they more likely to reject my application just because of the uncertainty of Brexit, or the fact that we are both young, intend to be sambo for a while, and have been together just under a year in a long distance relationship? I worry that I'm seen as nothing special, and that we won't be allowed to be together despite this literally being our end goal, and being separated again would crush everything we wanted together.

To me it would seem peculiar if I was asked to leave, despite applying as an EU citizen before March 2019. While nobody knows, this would without a doubt be horrible for both of us - seeing as I am under the guise that I can stay here legally while it processes, so I have moved most of my life over (since lumbering it on my ageing parents would be rude as hell, who are just about to retire.)

The uncertainties of Brexit are obviously hard to predict, however I feel advice from people on this issue would help, as it would rally my thoughts onto a single issue or a cluster of them. I'm susceptible to panic attacks over uncertainty and issues I cannot control. Advice would be greatly appreciated, if you have knowledge you can share! If there is anything wrong that I need to know, please do tell me!

Many thanks.
