I have written this out below. Cannot scan as ref numbers and addresses would need to be blanked out.
Certificate of application for residence status.
You have submitted an application for residence status. With this certificate, you have the right to stay in Sweden until a final decision on your application has been made.
While you are waiting for a decision, you have the same rights as a citizen in the EU and can travel into EU and continue to live, work and study in Sweden. If you are going to travel, you may need to present this certificate at border checks, along with a passport or UK national identity card.
That's it folk. Note there is no time restriction on the validity of this certificate. I expect a decision will take some months as there are thousands of UK citizens in Sweden. Citizen ship application takes three years on average. It will not take that long but the longer the better because I think as a citizen of the EU as stated above I have FoM until a decision is made. No doubt the above may apply to those with Portuguese residence.
