Sweden & Italy

Can I study in Sweden if I have a valid permit for studies in Italy?

If you are going to study in Sweden for more than three months, you need to apply for a residence permit. Different application procedures apply depending on your residence status in Italy and the circumstances for your studies.

If you have the status as a “long-term resident” in Italy (soggiornante di lungo periodo UE/CE), you can apply for a residence permit after the arrival in Sweden and you can study during the processing of your application for residence permit.

If you do not have the status as a long-term resident, you must have been granted the Swedish residence permit before you enter Sweden and start studying.
