根据瑞典使馆消息，因瑞典移民局系统在进行检测，自2006年7月1日起，留学瑞典的留学生将不能通过互联网申请居留许可。
根据瑞典移民局公布的消息，由于系统的技术检测不得不暂时取消电子签证的办理。主要原因是目前的系统已经无法处理由于申请人数的激增所带来的问题。特别指出在去年，申请电子签证的人数成倍增加。另外系统本身也存在问题，如在粘贴申请签证必要的附加文件以及用信用卡交纳申请费上都存在困难。这些可能会导致学生申请签证的延误。瑞典移民局决定2006年7月1号以后取消电子签证申请，学生申请签证需要直接到使馆递签，同时会检测电子签证系统。使馆方面也确保按期申请签证的学生能在开学前接到签证的结果。何时再恢复电子签证申请程序移民局未做明确说明。
瑞典移民局新闻英文原文
No longer possible for students to apply electronically
The Migration Board has to stop the possibility to apply for residence permits for studies via our website form 1 July owing to a technical check-up of the system. Instead the applicants have to hand in their applications at embassies or consulates. This only applies to first-time applications, it will still be possible to prolong a student residence permit via the Board’s website.
Applications for residence permits for studies have increased enormously, especially in the last year, as have even the number of electronic applications.
The present technical capacity for electronic applications along with the present administrative resources are not sufficient to deal with the increase. In consequence, we cannot fulfil the purpose of electronic applications, which is to simplify and shorten the application process.
Various problems with the system
There are various problems with the system for electronic applications. The applicants have for example difficulties attaching the necessary appendices and paying their application fees. This makes the applicants uncertain whether they have sent in a complete application or not, and therefore many send in their applications several times. This means extra administration which results in longer waiting times.
Stop on 1 July
The handling of the electronic applications takes at present a great deal of resources, which affects the waiting-time for all applicants, also those applying at embassies and consulates. The Migration Board has therefore decided to stop the possibility to apply electronically for studies from 1 July while we overhaul the system. This can be carried out this autumn at the earliest. Instead we will concentrate our resources on the handling of the applications from the embassies and consulates. The applications for studies have top priority and our goal is that applicants will receive decisions before the start of their studies. |
