Sweden Visa Information
Who needs a Sweden visa?
Entry requirements for Sweden depend on your nationality, the purpose of your trip and how long you plan to stay. Some travelers enter visa free for short visits while others need a visa or electronic authorization — check the current rules with this honorary consulate or on the official Sweden immigration portal before booking travel.
Long stays, work and study
Work, study and family visas usually require sponsorship or admission first and take longer to process than visitor visas. Typical Sweden visa documents include a valid passport, photos, proof of funds, travel insurance, accommodation details and purpose specific papers.
