Sweden Tourist Visa (Schengen Tourist Visa)
The Sweden Tourist Visa is a Schengen short-stay Category C visa that allows foreign nationals to travel to Sweden for holidays, sightseeing, and leisure purposes. As Sweden is part of the Schengen area, this visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen area, provided Sweden is the applicant’s main destination. Applications are submitted through the Swedish Migration Agency’s (Migrationsverket) visa application service, or at the relevant Swedish Embassy, Consulate-General, or authorized Visa Application Centre. A Schengen visa is strictly a visitor’s visa and does not grant the right to work or reside in Sweden or any other Schengen country. As with all Sweden visa categories, the decision to approve or refuse a Tourist Visa application rests solely with the Swedish Migration Agency or the relevant Swedish Mission, based on the documentation submitted.
Eligibility

- Sweden is the applicant’s main destination within the Schengen area
- Not from a country exempt from the Schengen visa requirement
- Able to demonstrate sufficient funds to cover the visit

Sweden Visa Processing Time
Sweden processes Schengen Tourist Visa applications under the standard Visa Code timelines. Standard processing is typically completed within 15 calendar days of a complete application, though this can be extended up to 30 days, and in individual cases requiring further scrutiny, up to 45 days. Processing speed depends on the completeness of the application, verification of travel and financial documents, and application volumes at the relevant Mission or Visa Centre. Applicants are advised to apply well ahead of their intended travel date and to avoid booking non-refundable travel arrangements until the visa decision is confirmed.
