Visas for Sweden, without the guesswork

Short stays in Sweden run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Sweden takes applications

Good to know about Sweden

• Sweden raised its work-permit salary floor to 80% of the median wage (≈ SEK 28,480/month) — many previously eligible jobs no longer qualify.
• Visit visas are decided by Migrationsverket-set country assessments — refusal rates vary sharply by applicant country.

Staying longer than 90 days

Long stays are residence permits decided by Migrationsverket, applied online; work permits require the job to have been advertised in the EU and union-vetted terms.
