Sweden Visa Information

Tourist Entry Choices & Short-Stay Visa Rules for Visiting Sweden

Sweden, known for its natural beauty, modern cities, and rich cultural heritage, follows Schengen Area regulations for short-term visits. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period, allowing travelers to explore Sweden without prior paperwork.

Visitors who require a visa must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C) before traveling. This visa permits short stays for tourism, leisure, and family visits. Applicants typically need a valid passport, travel insurance, financial proof, accommodation details, and confirmed return travel arrangements.

For stays beyond the Schengen short-stay limit or for non-tourism purposes—such as study, work, or long-term residence—Sweden offers various national long-stay visas (Type D) and residence permits. Choosing the correct category ensures smooth entry and compliance with Swedish immigration rules.

With a Schengen visa or visa-exempt passport, you can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period within the entire Schengen Area.

You will need: A valid passport A Schengen visa (if required) Return/onward ticket Hotel booking or invitation Proof of funds and travel insurance
