Sweden visas

Sweden Visa

A Swedish visa is officially known as a Schengen visa. This visa type allows for short stays in Sweden. A single-entry visa will provide the holder with a single entry to Sweden. Whereas a multi-entry visa will permit the holder multiple entries, not just to Sweden but also to the rest of the Schengen Zone.

If you are not a European citizen, you must submit your Swedish visa application at least 30 days before your intended departure date.

Schengen to Sweden

We strongly advise applying as soon as possible to ensure that you are approved for a Sweden Schengen Visa in time for your trip. You will not be allowed on your flight without a valid visa document.

Swedish Schengen C-Visas

A Schengen Visa is an official document for travel. It permits a person to travel to any Schengen area nation. For stays up to ninety days for tourism or business.

The Schengen region includes 26 European nations. The region primarily functions as a single authority for foreign travel, with a uniform visa policy. Before entering Europe, nationals of some countries that have not yet concluded a liberalisation agreement will be required to get this travel authorisation.

Sweden National D-Visas

If you want to remain in Sweden for longer than 90 days, you must apply for a residence permit or national D-Visa rather than a Sweden Schengen visa.

Your visa must be valid for a minimum of three months and a maximum of one year, regardless of the duration of your intended stay. To extend your stay beyond the period of your visa, you must submit an application to a prefecture for a residence permit.

Throughout the duration of its validity, the long-stay visa is equivalent to a Schengen visa, enabling you to travel and stay in the Schengen region outside of Sweden for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, under the same conditions as if you had a Schengen visa.

If you are a citizen of a country that does not need a visa to enter the Schengen zone, you may travel visa-free and apply for your national visa/residence permit in the country where you desire to dwell permanently.
