Vaiya please help me. Can my parents be the sponsor for Sweden Visa. My father have FDR and I want to use for my visa purpose.
Thanks for your comments. As we mentioned the money has to be only in your own name. However, I’m quoting this statement directly from Swedish Migration Board and hope you understand.
