Visa Information
Persons of certain nationalities wishing to visit the Schengen countries require a Schengen Visa. Depending on where you live, certain entry requirements must be met to visit Sweden. Others may enter the country with a valid passport if their visit is for 90 days or less. The visa application process can be lengthy. We recommend starting the process three to four months before your travel date.
