And I felt we shared a connection, even if we were strangers. (Ok so I'm a little creepy, lol... *shuffles feet awkwardly*)

@leah06, thanks for your advice as well. It's not so much that I'm embarrassed, because they are strangers and calling someone Master isn't illegal. But I just want to make myself as presentable as possible (I'm just as concerned with showing I am educated, not poor and will not be a burden on their state, things that will make them be like "yeah, she won't ruin our country, let her in"). Also, Sweden is a particularly culturally egalitarian-focused state. Like, had a conscious cultural shift in the 60s or 70s to not use honorifics, Mr. or Mrs. Last Name, etc and call people by their first names. So it makes me nervous to divulge that part of our relationship because we don't know if it will affect their perception/decision.
Hum..
Personally I live in a neighboring country (Norway)..
I'm afraid I don't know all that much details about swedish immigration or culture.. although it's similar to the norwegian one, it's not identical.
As for your chances of being accepted into the country I'd say it's rather good based on the fact that Sweden have a larger immigrant portion of it's population then any but one other european country.
Don't know exactly what kind of immigrants prevails though, if it's refugees, or economic immigrants or something else..
At any rate they're known as the most immigrant friendly of all the nordic countries although they have started to increase their restrictions on immigration (one single village/city in Sweden accepted more refugees then the whole of Canada and the USA at once one year not to long ago, ended up with the major delivering a speech in the UN urging other countries to take responsibility)
As for how your Master/Slave relationship would look to them..
Well, I honestly don't know..
Although I guess it'll help if you talk to someone that's grown up in one of the swedish cities as they tend to be more open-minded in that area then some people in the countryside (there's still rural areas in Sweden where christian values dominate)
I might be wrong, but I think that urban sweds tend to be open minded about sexual matters.. but I guess your master knows more about that then I do..
As for the Mr bit and so one, they're likely not to mind that since you're not a swedish national, basically they know that the english speaking world use those titles just as well as us Norwegians do and I have a hard time imagining that they'd use that against you.
However, I have the impression that the feminist movements have had more momentum in Sweden then in Norway, particularly the bits of it that borders on extremism, and at any rate they do have their own political party..
So while men that beat their wife/girlfriend in Sweden get jail time and nothing more an violent Norwegian man would go to a shrink to figure out why he's doing it. And so one..
Still, what do I know.. I'm no swed..
Hum..
Some advises..
If you do have to reveal that you live a bdsm life I'd try to tone down things like 24/7 life or dominance/submission and just try to talk about it as sex with some extra spice.. I think they'd probably find that easier to swallow..
Perhaps you could talk about it as role play, a lot of "vanilla" people use some kind of role play to spice up their sex life after all..
If you have to enter specifics (I hope you don't) remember to mention ssc, safe, sane and consensual.
At any rate, answer truthfully at what you're ask, but don't give more information then needed.
The fact that you're from a western country will probably count in your advantage, atlas subconscious level (I'm afraid a lot of us europeans are still rather racists, but that'll hopefully change when more people get to know more immigrants)
Remember this is all my impression of Sweden, and that don't need to be accurate at all.
At any rate don't worry to much, it'll probably turn out allright.
Good luck
I hope this was more help then harm..
