Formalities and Visa to Sweden


To enter Sweden you only need a valid identity card or passport if you are not staying longer than 3 months.

If you are staying longer than 3 months you need to get a resident's permit. In order to qualify for one you have to have a work contract or be able to prove that you can financially provide for yourself and have enough money to get home eventually.

Students have to prove that they are enrolled in school or university. They also have to prove adequate financial means and have a health insurance.

Social Security Systems :

For temporary residents, workers can stay on their national social security regime.

Before you leave you must get an E111 form (from your social security centre) which will give you the right to free (or reimbursed) medical care in Sweden.

If you are staying on a permanent basis you will have to apply to get onto the Swedish regime.

Customs :

Domestic animals are accepted in the country, but the quarantine period lasts 4 months. It is therefore not a good idea to take your animals with you if you are going for a short stay.
