Visiting Sweden

We look forward to welcoming you to Sweden!

If you wish to visit Sweden and are a citizen of a country outside the EU/EEA, you will in most cases need a visa.

A visa is a permit which is required in order for you to enter and remain in Sweden for a short period of time. These pages explain what is required for different types of visit and how you can apply for a visa.

Important things to know about your entry visa

The sticker in your passport will show how many days you can use your entry visa for the period your permit is valid. The period is often longer than the number of days you may travel here, since the authorities expect you may need a little time to get your trip in order.
