Freedom of movement

The EU lists Sweden among the Schengen area countries, and says EU nationals have the right to travel freely there. Under Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, nationals of the countries in its Annex II are exempt from the visa requirement for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, and nationals of the countries in Annex I must hold a visa; the Schengen Visa Code sets the visa fee at EUR 90. The Swedish Migration Agency says applications go to a Swedish embassy or consulate-general, or in some countries to another Schengen country representing Sweden. The EU says ETIAS is currently not in operation.

  6. Return or onward ticket

    The Swedish Migration Agency says visitors who do not need a visa must still have a valid round-trip ticket with a return journey within 90 days, and a written invitation from the family member or friend they will stay with or a hotel booking confirmation; the border police check this before they enter Sweden.

  7. Proof of funds

    The Swedish Migration Agency says Sweden requires SEK 700 for each day of the visit. The amount may be lower, for example for younger children, if meals and accommodation are paid in advance, or when staying with relatives or friends.

  8. Travel insurance

    Under the Schengen Visa Code, visa applicants must hold travel medical insurance valid throughout the territory of the Member States and covering the entire period of the intended stay; the minimum coverage is EUR 30,000. The Swedish Migration Agency recommends that visitors who do not need a visa also have individual medical travel insurance covering at least EUR 30,000 and valid in all Schengen countries.
