Is it possible to prologate residence permit of elemementry school student after expiration of his permit?

Is it possible to prologate residence permit of elemementry school student after expiration of his permit?
An elementry school student settled into Sweden for one year with temporary resident permit. He has been assigned a social security number in order to register at school. Can he then claim for prologation of his permit to continue his studies next year? A 13-year old student who is a non-EU citizen settled into Sweden for one year with temporary resident permit. He has been assigned a personnummer in order to register at school. Can his parents then claim for prologation of his permit to continue studies next year? Is there any EU regulation granting him resident permit in order to study? (based on the fact study is one's right (?) )

A swedish personnummer is not the same thing as a social security number, and being issued one doesn't really have much to do with residence status. You should be asking these questions at migrationsverket, they are the only ones who can answer you.There are many reasons they will extend a residence visa. Being in school and having a personnummer are unlikely to be enough on their own though.

I don't think Sweden colleges accept because SAT is only usually use by US. have your try to check the website for the Universities? You will know by going to their website

I don't know that you'll find someone on Yahoo Answers that works for admissions in a College/University in Sweden, you'll have to do the next best thing! The SAT/ACTs are generally only recognized in the US or North America. Just like any school here, in the US, you need to read their policies and requirements! You'll actually have to contact them. How's your Swedish? Even if you speak to someone who speaks English, there may still be a language barrier! You also have to apply for a Visa.

There are no rules which prevent a non-US citizen to apply for a visa from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate on earth. However each visa applicant needs to provide proof that s/he does not intent to immigrate to the United States. A U.S. consular officer based in Sweden can determine the ties of a Swedish citizen to his/her country but s/he cannot determine the ties of a student to Pakistan and therefore will most likely refuse a visa issue..

You make a list of NGOs in Sweden focused on other countries. You know how to use the Internet, so I'm sure you can make such a list. You visit the web site of each and you write an email that says you are a student at whatever university and looking for an unpaid or paid internship of a specific length -- 3 months, six months, whatever. You say what it is you can do for the organization, you say what you are hoping to learn, and you attach your CV. http://www.coyotecommunications.com/stuff/workabroad.shtml

Is it cheaper to study in sweden or norway for a bachelor's degree?


Is it cheaper to study in sweden or norway for a bachelor's degree?
I want to study in Sweden or Norway but i am having a hard time finding which one is cheaper. i know that higher education is free, except for a few fee's such as the student union's, but i hear that it is more expensive to live there. I also hear that i have to have proof of having at least 10,000 to 15,000 euros per month. what i really want to know is ,overall, where is it cheaper to study, i know that both have high education standards.

This answer only deals with Sweden. Higher education is no longer free for everyone. Only citizens of member states of the European Economic Area and Switzerland, certain family members of such citizens and persons with residence permits issued not on the strength of the studies are exempt from tuition fees. Tution fees are supposed to cover the actual cost and vary between universities and programmes, but are in most cases in the range 90 000-140 000 SEK per year.

What the Swedish guy said applies for Norway, too. Luckily, my father was Norwegian, so at age 18 I chose to become a citizen of Norway, therefore I can study there for almost free! Which is what I am doing. I think the price in Norway should be the same as Sweden, maybe slightly higher, as the Norwegian Krone is worth a little more than the Swedish one.

If you haven't gotten into a school yet, search for school that are known for these types of things. If you are in a school, ask a guidance councellor about it. Also most colleges have trips to certain countries for studies.
2 :
You can ask your school about it. They probably have a program. My school has a Japanese foreign exchange student program. And they can sign you up if you want to do it. Do you mean the costs as in money? That I'm not sure. At my school, the program begins in summer, meaning you go to Japan as a foreign student. Just ask your school. I'm sure they can help you.

Which college/ universities are the cheapest in sweden?

Which college/ universities are the cheapest in sweden?
I am planning to go to study in Sweden. I am wondering which colleges are the cheapest. And also which cities are the cheapest? Also , Can a non swedish student allowed to work ? Thank you for your help

There are no colleges. All Universities are free. You only have to pay for books, food and apartment. If you want a good university, it wont be in a cheap city. The most attractive ones are Lunds University, Uppsala University and KTH. If you want a cheap one, you're going to have to look around a little. The prices change every year, so i cant say anything for certain. I do believe non-swedish students are allowed to work, but it won't be easy getting one. Also, you might need a special permission.
