Schengen visa
One short-stay visa (type C) covers the 29 Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. We prepare your application, book the appointment and send the file by DHL or for download.
Citizens of countries on the EU visa list need a visa for short stays in the Schengen area. Citizens of visa-free countries travel without one, are registered in the Entry/Exit System at the border and will need ETIAS once it starts.
In the portal you choose your nationality and destination, and we confirm what applies to your trip before anything is submitted.
You apply at the consulate of the country you intend to visit. If your trip covers several Schengen countries, you apply to the country where you will spend the longest time; if the stays are equal, to the country you will visit first.
Many countries receive applications through visa service centres, which can charge a service fee on top of the visa fee. For Sweden, most applicants apply through VFS Global, and in some countries another Schengen state handles applications on Sweden's behalf.
Each consulate publishes its own checklist. For a visit to Sweden, Migrationsverket asks for:
Under Article 5(2) of Directive 2004/38/EC, visas for family members of EU citizens who travel with them or join them are issued free of charge, as soon as possible and under an accelerated procedure. We check the family relationship and the documents that show it.
Directive 2004/38/EC on EUR-LexThe Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational since 10 April 2026 and replaces passport stamping for non-EU travellers on short stays.
ETIAS, the travel authorisation for visa-free travellers, is not in operation yet. The EU will announce the start date several months in advance, and the fee will be €20.
