rules

To visit Sweden, you must obtain a permit to enter the Schengen area. It is issued in the form of visas. If the main country of residence is Sweden, then a visa should be obtained from the embassy of this particular country. At the same time, nothing prevents a tourist from visiting other EU states, except for Ireland and the UK. At the same time, it is not recommended to violate the "main country" and "first entry" rules. This means that in this case, if a tourist visits several states, then the first to be issued a visa is Sweden. At the same time, countries along the way can be transited, the time of which is from two to five days.

Types of visas

Schengen visa is of the following types:

Tourist. The Swedish visa center issues such a type “C” visa for tourists, for citizens who are going to visit relatives living in this country, as well as for participants in cultural and sports events. It gives the right to stay in the Schengen area for a period of 90 days. You can get such a visa with a maximum stay only once during half a year. To do this, you will need to submit a certificate of income and documents confirming the hotel reservation and the availability of own funds (at least 40 euros for each day of stay in the Schengen area). If there is a need for more frequent trips, you can apply to the Swedish Visa Center for a multiple-entry visa for a year, and in the future, if there are no violations, for the same permit, but for a period of five years.

Guestbook. Such a visa (type D) is intended for those who are going to visit close relatives. In order to receive it, you need to present an invitation from a resident of Sweden who is being visited. At the same time, the inviting party is obliged to provide the guest with food and accommodation. In this regard, documents confirming the hotel reservation and the availability of a bank account are not required. However, a visitor visa does not allow you to travel outside the country.

Urgent. If you need an urgent visa, then you can apply for it only by contacting the visa center of the Swedish Embassy in Moscow. The turnaround time is one business day. However, you will have to provide tickets that indicate the date of departure.

Working. Through the Swedish visa center in Moscow or in one of the other similar institutions located on the territory of the Russian Federation, you can also obtain permission to enter this country for the purpose of employment. Such a work visa to Sweden is issued only when there is an invitation from a Swedish company or a contract. If the last document is provided for up to three months, then a work permit is also required. For cases where a stay of more than 12 weeks is expected, a residence permit will be required.

Transit visa. This permit is issued for 24 hours. This time is quite enough to drive through the country. To obtain, you need to have permission to enter the state where the trip is made. It can also be requested for a stay in Sweden of up to five days. In the latter case, you will need documents confirming the availability of a hotel reservation for the entire period of stay within Sweden.
