Visit Sweden

If you would like to visit Sweden and you are a national of Belarus or of a country outside the EU, you may need a visa. Belarusian nationals need a visa for traveling to Sweden. 

Sweden has reached a temporary visa representation agreement with Hungary. From the 4th of May 2026 third country nationals, including Belarusian citizens who wish to apply for visas type C (short-term) should therefore contact the Embassy of Hungary in Minsk 

Applications for visa type D:

The Embassy of Sweden in Moscow continues to accept applications for visa Type D (diplomatic visas, applicants who have lost their residence permits, etc.).

The Embassy of Sweden in Moscow also continues to conduct interviews. Interviews, biometric data collection, and passport control will be carried out as usual but only two days a week. Please follow the news about the situation at the following link

Please note that the Embassy of Sweden in Minsk does not have a migration department. For matters related to obtaining residence permits and work/study permits, as well as for biometric data collection, third country nationals, including Belarusian citizens should contact the Embassy of Sweden in Moscow.

Biometric data for work/study in Sweden cannot be submitted at other EU member state embassies. This must be done at an Embassy of Sweden, where such services are available.

If you are a Swedish citizen who urgently needs consular assistance, please contact the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ consular hotline (UD:s konsulära jour) in Stockholm:

*Please note that in accordance with the Belarusian legislation Belarus nationals can hold two biometric passports at the same time. One passport can therefore be handed in when applying for a visa and the other passport can be used to return to Belarus during the visa handling process.
