Visit Visa (More than 90 Days) Sweden

ABOUT

You need to apply for Visit Visa if you wish to stay in Sweden for more than 90 days. 

If you are already in Sweden and would like to extend your stay for more than 90 days, you must also apply for a Visitor's Permit.

Suppose you are exempt from visa requirements and have a valid Schengen residence permit. In that case, do not apply for a visit extension if your stay will be less than 90 days, and that is after the expiration of your residence permit. If you have any remaining visa-free days, they might be reactivated.
