Sweden & Russia

Tourist visit – extra documents

For the time being, it is not possible to apply for a Schengen visa to Sweden either at the Embassy or through VFS Global. Exceptions are made only in urgent and exceptional cases, where an application may be submitted directly at the Embassy following prior approval. The need for an urgent visa must be supported with a medical certificate or other relevant documentation. The Embassy will assess whether a case falls within the scope of emergency or distressing circumstances. No advance assessments or preliminary decisions can be provided.

If you apply for a visa to visit Sweden as a tourist, you need the documents listed below.

You must have:

  • The documents required by all visa applicants. Read more under ‘Required documents’.

  • Confirmation of the booking of an organized trip or any other appropriate document indicating the envisaged travel plans; if not applicable then itinerary with a written description of the planned journey.
