You need a visa if you are a citizen of a country outside the EU and would like to visit Sweden (and the other Schengen countries). A visa is a document that allows you to enter this country and stay for less than 90 days. For that, you need a Visit Visa (Upto 90 Days) from Sweden.
Suppose you have a valid Schengen Residence Permit. In that case, you don't need to apply for an entry visa if you are visiting Sweden for less than 90 days.
To be eligible, you must have the following purposes:
You must meet certain documents for this visa to visit relatives and friends.
Apply if you intend to stay in Sweden for longer than 90 days. In most cases, the visa is good for entry into all Schengen countries. The visa may be limited to Sweden and a few Schengen countries in exceptional circumstances.
When to Apply
You must submit your application early. It should be no earlier than six months before you travel.
Visa Processing Time
Usually, the visa is processed within weeks. But it can take up to months, so you should be prepared for that.
How to Apply
Most people who need to apply for a visa must do so through an outside service provider. You can check your embassy's website to see if it has a contract with a third-party service provider.
You need to apply for this visa through the Swedish embassies in Tehran (Iran), Seoul (South Korea) or Tokyo (Japan) if your embassy does not have an agreement with an external service provider.
We recommend you opt to hire a visa consultant to avoid going through all this trouble.
Duration
This visa is valid for 90 days.
Fees
A visit visa for less than 90 days is free for children up to 5 years of age. It further costs 40 EUR for 6-11 years old and 80 EUR for above 12 years person.
The validity of a Visitor's Visa is limited to 90 days. You cannot extend your visa if you have already spent 90 days in a Schengen country during the previous 180 days. Instead, you may apply for a visitor's residence permit.
