Oh.. yes we havent met, but we are planning to meet,

Are you serious? Is he serious or perhaps deficient in some way? You are telling this board that you have never met yet that you are going to marry. I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing.

Be warned that the authorities in Sweden (and in the rest of Europe) are onto this sort of marriage and are extremely loathe, rightly, to grant residence for it.

A year ago, my husband, then boyfriend, and I applied for a residence permit after having been together for two weeks in China. In hindsight, it wasn't the brightest idea we've had, and I suppose we should've expected the outcome; I was denied the permit, based on the grounds that it wasn't serious enough. A few months later, he came to China, we married, and now we're living together in Guangdong, once again waiting for a decision from the Migration Board. The waiting times at the Migration Board has since the first time we applied increased three-fold; the expected waiting time is now 12 months.

So, be aware that the waiting times for the residence permit are really long right now, and if I remember correctly, you cannot apply from inside Sweden, else we would've surely done that.

The advice I'd like to give is this: apply for a visiting visa, marry each other in Sweden, extend the visa for as long as you can, then go back to the Philippines and apply for the residence permit. Since you by the time you apply for the residence permit, you are already married, you should have no problems with the Migration Board, except the waiting times.

Also, you should know that the Swedish law that regulates residence permits (Utl盲nningslagen), is different for couples that plan marry or cohabit, and already married or cohabiting couples. Utl盲nningslagen 5 kap 3 搂 states: a residence permit shall, if nothing else follows from 17搂, be given to, 1. a foreigner who is a spouse, or a cohabitee, to a resident of Sweden; while Utl盲nningslagen 5 kap 3a搂 states: a residence permit may, if nothing else follows from 17搂, be given to, 1. a foreigner who plan to marry or cohabit with a Swedish resident, if the relationship is deemed serious enough, and no reasons exist against giving a permit. 17搂 contains exceptions like; if you intend to marry but don't intend to live together, if your boyfriend is already married to someone else, etc. See: lagen.nu/2005:716. I was denied because they handled me under 5 kap 3a搂, and because my case worker apparently deemed our relationship as not serious enough. Furthermore, it is way easier to prove marriage than cohabitation. Cohabitation is very vaguely defined in Swedish law.

If you want more info, do as tym05 said, call or mail the Migration Board:

Be aware that they're really slow at answering mails though, so calling them would be preferable.

You can talk to me on Skype if you want.

Call the Swedish Embassy in the Philippines.  Make an appointment to meet with the consulate. Your Swedish Guy can make that call and set the day for meeting, if need be. Things go much smoother if you use the Consulate services. They know what documents you need, etc.
