About Permanent Residency in Sweden?

Question

I know that one can settle permaneneltly in Sweden once he is married to a Swedish.But after how many years one gets the nationality.And are there any other ways to apply for permanent residency over there besides marriage?
I have heard that living there as a student for 6 years makes one eligible to apply for paermanent residency.How far is that true?

It's hard to reply to your questions with simple answers, since there are so many circumstances and conditions that need to be taken account of. But here is the official Swedish migration website, and the page that answers all your questions: Swedish citizenship, http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.jsp?english/emedborg/emedborg.html
