No one gave me a straight answer on this question so I would like to know if someone had simmilar experience.

I would like to go on a 2 days trip to Sweden even thou my permit is still in proces?
Im in Finland from May.

Not a good idea, stay and wait for your permit decison . Replying from a similar experience.

If you'd happen to be stopped by police there for any reason, from what they can see you've overstayed your visa/visa free period.

I fully expect that you'd eventually be able to exit Sweden to Finland instead of your home country, but I would avoid that situation anyway.

Short answer, DO NOT do it.

Sweden? Go for it-you live but once and sickla and nacka are måste. Worst thing scenario? Going back to your home sweet homecountry.

Well, I didn't go. It was quite stupid question but I was curious if someone else went and got in a lot of trouble!

(I hope not)

I've got my residence permit few days ago so this won't be problem anymore.
