As the spouse of a Swedish citizen, > You are entitled to receive a residence permit if you are married to, > have entered into a registered partnership with, or are the cohabiting > partner of someone who lives in Sweden. Your partner should register > your marriage or partnership with the Swedish Tax Agency. [Source][1]. However, [the process to get this permit][2] sounds rather complicated and painful, I would advice getting started on it ASAP. The following page claims also you're entitled to a free visa and expedited processing if the purpose of your travel is to join your spouse: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/entry-exit/non-eu-family/index_en.htm ...but this may be incorrect (despite being the official europa.eu page!), so let's wait for @phoog to get back to us.
