Visas for visiting Sweden
Foreign citizens sometimes require a visa to enter Sweden. Applications for visas to Sweden are made at the nearest Swedish embassy. In some cities where there is no Swedish embassy, Sweden is represented by another Schengen embassy. More information is available via the link on the right headed 'Information on visas'.
